Technical application of virtual reality 3D image reconstruction technology in archaeology

In recent years, digital archaeology, as a new field of archaeological research, is accelerating the innovative combination of digital technology and archaeology and providing unprecedented opportunities for archaeological research. However, the current digital archaeology also faces some shortcomings, such as high technical threshold, complicated operation and low technical application. In this regard, this paper will start with the archaeological field investigation, analyze the application of three-dimensional image reconstruction technology in the archaeological field, and on this basis, develop a visual display system with the help of virtual reality technology, providing archaeologists with a brand-new research tool. Practice has proved that with the aid of Agisoft Photoscan 3D reconstruction software, the collected multi-angle images and photos of archaeological remains can be transformed into a real 3D model. Then, a virtual display system is developed based on Unity3D to complete the high-precision reproduction of archaeological remains, cultural relics and models. The whole process intuitively reflects the practical effect of virtual reality three-dimensional image reconstruction technology in the field of archaeology, and provides some technical reference for the later protection and presentation of cultural relics.
