Study on Historical Cities Conservation Monitoring Supported by High-Resolution Remote Sensing

Abstract

Historical cities are important types of cultural heritage sites, and their preservation conditions and conservation status require efficient dynamic monitoring. As the national strategy of China has been vigorously developed in recent years, high-resolution remote sensing technology provides new opportunities for dynamic monitoring of historical and cultural heritage. Based on demand analysis of the historical city conservation and support capacities of high-resolution remote sensing technology, this paper developed a general framework of historical cities conservation monitoring supported by high-resolution remote sensing technology, combined with specific case studies. The framework includes three processes: remote sensing image interpolation for historical cities, temporal and spatial change analysis of conservation elements, and quantitative evaluation of the conservation status. The aims of this study are to explore high-resolution remote sensing technology for conservation monitoring of historical cities and promote the conservation and legacy of historical cities.
