Detailed 3D scan of the Iron Seated Virocana Buddha of Eunjeoksa Temple in Haenam

JANGSUNG HDS is located in Changchon-ri, Masan-myeon, Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do A cultural heritage 3D scanning project to precisely record the current state of the Iron Seated Virocana Buddha of Eunjeoksa Templewas performed.

The Iron Seated Vairocana Buddha of Eunjeoksa Temple is known to be a Buddha statue from the Goryeo Dynasty and is a cultural heritage designated as a Jeollanam-do Tangible Cultural Heritage.

The purpose of this project is not simply to photograph the external appearance of the Buddha statue, Through 3D scanning, the actual shape and state of damage of the Buddha statue are precisely recorded as 3D data, establishing digital baseline data that can be utilized for future preservation and condition comparison.was to do.

Record the current state of the damaged Buddha statue in 3D

The Iron Seated Virocana Buddha of Eunjeoksa Temple There are damaged areas on the lower body and the knee area.It was important to accurately record the current shape and damage state.

Because cultural heritage assets can suffer from corrosion, cracking, breakage, and shape changes over time, recording their condition at a specific point in time as objective data can serve as an important baseline reference for assessing their future conservation status.

JANGSUNG HDS is a contactless method Acquiring shape information of the Buddha statue's surface as Point Cloud data through precise 3D scanningand the overall shape and damaged parts of the Buddha statue were recorded as 3D spatial information.

Digital preservation using cultural heritage 3D scanning

While photographs are useful for recording the color and appearance of cultural heritage, they have limitations in recording the object's actual three-dimensional shape, depth, and positional relationships as quantitative 3D information.

On the other hand 3D scan data builds the surface shape of cultural heritage into digital data with real spatial coordinates.Because it is possible, it can be utilized not only for recording the current state, but also as basic data for future precision comparison, preservation, and restoration work.

The 3D data built in this project can be utilized for the following purposes.

• Current 3D shape record of the Buddha statue
• Check the location and shape of the damaged and broken areas
• Point Cloud-based Cultural Heritage Digital Documentation
• Establishing foundational data for preservation and restoration work
• Comparison of shape changes through future rescanning
• Utilization of cultural heritage research and precise survey data
• Building 3D models and digital archives

Non-contact precision 3D scanning of cultural heritage

For cultural assets like Buddha statues, it is important to minimize the impact on the object during the investigation process. Since 3D scanning can acquire the surface shape information without directly contacting the object, Precise recording of Buddha statues, sculptures, stone cultural heritage, and various cultural assetscan be utilized for.

also, by preserving the current 3D data as baseline data and scanning the same cultural heritage again in the future, comparing the data from the two time points quantitatively analyze whether damage or deformation is progressingcan also be used to do.
