The Nan'ao Lighthouse has achieved a major milestone in heritage digitization with the successful intellectual property registration of its high-precision 3D point cloud dataset. This dataset, consisting of over 720,000 points, captures the lighthouse's entire structure from base to dome through advanced scanning and processing technologies. Approved by Guangdong's Intellectual Property Protection Center, the standardized dataset is now ready for compliant circulation and development applications. Its uses include structural monitoring, digital archiving, virtual exhibitions, cultural education, and lighthouse-themed creations, contributing to both preservation efforts and public engagement. This accomplishment sets a benchmark, advancing maritime digitization and establishing a foundation for transforming navigational aids into valuable data assets.
