Intel Drone Helping to Preserve Korean Cultural Heritage
Intel Images: Intel Falcon 8+ Drone
An Intel® Falcon™ 8+ drone was used to carry out an aerial inspection and survey of Hwahongmun Gate of Korea’s Suwon Hwaseong fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site and an important part of Korea’s culture and history.
A 3D model of Hwahongmun Gate was generated using thousands of detailed images captured from an Intel Falcon 8+ drone. Drones are emerging as an important tool to not only capture data but also provide a digital archive of history and help in the effort to preserve architectural structures of cultural and historic significance.
Using the Intel Falcon 8+ system and 36-megapixel Sony A7R payload, Intel’s strategic partner DRONEID was able to conduct an aerial survey and inspect the Hwahongmun Gate in just a few hours. (Credit: DRONEID)
