believes that Hetu, using digital means to reproduce history and inherit civilization, is an important part of future intelligent perception.

Mogao Grottoes: The Art Palace of Chinese Culture

Crossing the Yellow River, through the desert, and over the mountains, we came to such a magical place: Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, the most brilliant Chinese civilization One of the gems.

The construction time of Mogao Grottoes can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and then through the continuous development of Sui, Tang, Xixia, Yuan and other dynasties, it gradually formed a huge Buddhist cultural gathering place. Such an artistic place is the common property of global civilization, and it is a witness to the continuous evolution and growing strength of Chinese civilization.

Last century, there was a catastrophe in Mogao Grottoes. At the end of the feudal era, China had a dark period of nearly a hundred years, and Mogao Grottoes were also discovered during this period. From the moment when the Taoist priest unveiled the mystery of Mogao Grottoes, to later foreigners took away a large number of scriptures, murals, and sculptures that existed in Mogao Grottoes, Mogao Grottoes were severely damaged, and some early murals have disappeared.

The destruction of Mogao Grottoes is the common loss of world civilization.

In modern times, Mogao Grottoes has been listed as a world cultural heritage, related research work has been carried out one after another, and the tourism industry has continued to grow. In fact, for visitors to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, in addition to admiring the ancients' excellent carving and mural painting skills, it is more important to learn about the splendid ancient Chinese culture through this information and remember the long history of Chinese civilization. However, in addition to man-made destruction, Mogao Grottoes are also constantly facing the test of nature and the situation is grim.

For a long time in the past, due to the needs of economic development and urban construction, the ecological environment of Dunhuang has been severely damaged, and desertification has increased the difficulty of protecting Mogao Grottoes. A large number of murals and colored sculptures have appeared Discoloration, hollowing, armouring, falling off and other issues have not only impacted the tourist value of Mogao Grottoes, but also put the heritage of Dunhuang civilization in crisis.

The Dunhuang Academy, which was formally established in the 1980s, is dedicated to the research and protection of Dunhuang culture. Mogao Grottoes is one of the most important parts. Since the early 1990s, the Dunhuang Research Institute has been using digital technology to continue the research on the Dunhuang Grottoes. Nowadays, it has formed a huge amount of data resources. These resources have provided strong support for the construction of digital Dunhuang, as well as Mogao Grottoes. The development of Dunhuang culture laid a solid foundation.

Hetu: Helping civilization inheritance

The cultural value of Mogao Grottoes is extremely high, and the tourism value is also extremely high, but it is often difficult to strike a balance between the two. On the one hand, in order to promote Dunhuang culture, it is necessary to push the Mogao Grottoes to a wider world stage, thereby attracting a large number of tourists, and it is inevitable that cultural relics will be damaged during the visit; on the other hand, the increasing number of tourists has already affected Mogao. The protection of cultural relics in the high caves has created a greater burden. Tourists wantWith more cultural information, the Mogao Grottoes have a limited capacity for tourists. This contradiction is increasing.

In order to solve this problem, Dunhuang Research Institute cooperated with Huawei to jointly display the digital Mogao Grottoes with new technologies such as 5G, AI, VR, and Hetu is the key to carrying this balance.

Huawei Fellow Cyberverse (Hetu) Chief Engineer and Camera Chief Engineer Luo Wei said that with the development of technology, mobile phones become more and more intelligent, and its ability to perceive the world is getting stronger. Hetu is the external sensory organ of mobile phones in the 5G era. Through the integration of 3D high-precision map capabilities, spatial computing capabilities, strong environment understanding capabilities, and virtual and real fusion rendering capabilities, Hetu can provide users with a 5G architecture that integrates terminal and cloud The experience and service of the earth-level fusion of reality and virtual world.

With the powerful capabilities of Hetu, Huawei has also carried out a series of algorithms and technical optimizations on the AR map released this time to achieve full-scene centimeter-level space calculations and make positioning more accurate . At the same time, combined with large-scale environment recognition and virtual and real fusion algorithms, Huawei AR Maps can show users some virtual 3D images and expand their cognitive scope.

Combining the river map with the problems of the Mogao Grottoes, a new way of exploring Dunhuang culture has spontaneously emerged.

Zhao Shengliang, Dean of the Dunhuang Research Institute, said that since March last year, the Dunhuang Research Institute has been cooperating with Huawei to showcase Dunhuang art through river maps, allowing visitors to use Huawei phones outside the cave. Watch the detailed murals inside the cave. This can not only achieve the purpose of cultural dissemination, but also reduce the time for tourists to enter the cave, which is more conducive to the protection of cultural relics.

AR map is the first application of Hetu technology. Using this "earth-level" virtual and real space computing platform, many existing applications will be subverted. At present, Hetu has covered 3D navigation, virtual building information, smart park IoT information, historical site tours and other scenes.

Hetu technology will also give a strong boost to the digital construction of the city. Luo Wei said that it will cover 120 square kilometers of Shanghai’s inner ring by the end of May, and will cover first-tier cities by the end of this year, with 100+ top museum attractions, and 1,000 A top business district.
