Yue Ma, Qin Tong, Xiao He, Bing Su
Abstract
This study conducts a systematic review of 50 articles on virtual restoration of architectural heritage using the PRISMA framework. It proposes an integrated framework based on the analysis of technologies, methods, and platforms used across restoration stages. Future directions include expanding data sources and interdisciplinary integration, enhancing empirical validation, and exploring emerging technologies such as 4D restoration and AI-generated content to improve automation, intelligent reconstruction, and immersive restoration experiences.
