Abstract
This lecture will mainly introduce the overall academic concept and research methods of the DCADP project. Through introducing the research achievements and processes of the Zhihua Temple Digital Restoration Project and the Empress Procession Restoration Project in Binyang Central Cave, Longmen Grottoes, this presentation aims to elucidate the value and role of plastic artists and digital technology in the field of art history. Taking the Empress Procession restoration project as an example, this presentation hopes to bring forward discussions on the definition and concept of “restoration” as well as some thoughts on how to accurately interpret the significance and possible application of our restoration research.
