Digital Protection Method of Intangible Cultural Heritage Based on Augmented Reality Technology

As an important part of cultural heritage, the protection of intangible cultural heritage is of great significance for the promotion of traditional culture and national image. In this paper, we propose a novel digital protection method of intangible cultural heritage. Firstly, we analyze main characteristics of the Intangible cultural heritage, which contains products and processes of a culture which can be preserved and passed on through a long history. Intangible cultural heritage is widely distributed all over the world. Secondly, we carefully analyze the augmented reality technology, which can greatly improve user experiences. Thirdly, we discuss how to construct the system for the digital protection of intangible cultural heritage. Particularly, our proposed system contains three components: 1) Intelligent terminal, 2) Fusion of cultural digital content and realistic scene video images, and 3) Object target tracking in realistic scene. Finally, we conclude the whole paper and point our future works.
