Shuri Castle Tadashi 3D reconstruction with pictures of memories of the days of the past, December 26 13:54
In October, a group made up of researchers at the University of Tokyo about Shuri Castle, which was destroyed by fire in October, used about 30,000 photos and videos of memories from the general public, and used Shuri Castle. The appearance of the main shrine was restored in digital 3D.
Digitally restored is Sh 正 jo Castle's Tadashi, which was destroyed by fire in October.
The “Recovery of Shurijo Castle Digital Project” launched by Project Lecturer Rei Kawakami of the University of Tokyo, who is studying image processing technology, has called for the provision of images through SNS and other sources. Approximately 30,000 people, including photos and videos of memories taken during travel, etc., were received from about 3,000 people including overseas.
The restored main hall is combined with the collected image data and accurately reproduced in vivid colors, such as a vaulted roof and a dragon pillar called "Dairyu-ky 柱" located on the left and right of the entrance. This means that you can also experience the appearance of Tadashi of the day in virtual reality.
The project hopes to continue recruiting images and restore buildings other than Tadashi.
Professor Kawakami said, "Thanks to the cooperation of many people has made a good thing. I would be happy if people of Okinawa could know that Shurijo Castle is so loved." I was
