The Digital Restoration and Dynamic Display System of the Apparel in Heritage Painting Based on Evidence-based Theory: A Case Study of The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies

Abstract

The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies is a representative heritage painting from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, which depicts the female apparel in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, due to factors such as long age, improper preservation and human-induced damage, the original work has lost, and only Tang Dynasty copies remain, while also suffering from varying degrees of damage. The aim of this study is to restore the apparel in this heritage painting by applying evidence-based theory and inherit these apparel by demonstrating the cultural and social context reflecting from these apparel. To reach this objective, this study collect the textual and visual evidences regarding the apparel from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, forming a comprehensive evidence-based framework. Then, by thoroughly analyzing the information in the framework and historical and cultural context of this artwork, the attributes of the apparel in the painting were refined and determined, and digital restoration models of these apparel were established through 3D clothing modeling. On this basis, a dynamic display system was further developed by employing animation technology and virtual reality to present the cultural and social background of the apparel. There are two contributions: (1) the implementation of evidence-based theory ensures the reliability and historical accuracy of the restoration process, providing important references for related restoration regarding heritage textiles; (2) the development of the dynamic display system allows a broader audience to understand and appreciate the ancient apparel, promoting the preservation and inheritance of the heritage textile.
