Using AI and LiDAR to create 'Digital Twins' for historical preservation
When a centuries-old cathedral or monument is at risk, Artchitectours uses AI to process terabytes of laser-scan (LiDAR) data to create a perfect sub-millimeter digital backup.
### Preservation Tech
* **Crack Detection**: AI scans high-res 3D models to find microscopic structural fissures that are invisible to human inspectors.
* **Material Simulation**: Predicts how specific types of 500-year-old stone will react to modern pollution or rising humidity over the next 50 years.
* **Virtual Reconstruction**: Uses generative AI to "fill in the blanks" of damaged or lost architectural pieces based on historical records and similar structures.
