TAIPEI, Nov. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Getac today announced that LeaderTek has used Getac's

K120(https://www.getac.com/intl/products/tablets/k120/) rugged tablet in the

field for 3D laser scanning of and data computation for Lugang Mazu Temple, a

historical monument being preserved under the Ministry of Culture, furthering

the digital preservation of cultural heritage.

Lugang Mazu Temple, enshrining the goddess of the sea Mazu, was initially

constructed in 1591. The wood and stone carvings and paintings are all done by

famous artists. Faithful believers constantly visit the temple. Despite the

temple's status as a national monument, various structures and artifacts of the

temple are still frequently used. They can be easily damaged by humans or by

natural disasters in Taiwan's subtropical climate.

"Lugang Mazu Temple has over 400 years of history. Maintenance and repair works

are needed for more and more parts of the temple. For example, the Phoenix

Palanquin, which was used to transport the goddess Mazu during her pilgrimages,

has suffered damage after nearly a century of use. I hope the 3D scanning

technology can digitally preserve the Phoenix Palanquin, so that the Mazu

goddess will be able to sit in this magnificent carriage in her pilgrimages

again," said Chia-Wen Liu, director of the Lugang Mazu Temple.

In conjunction with LeaderTek's 3D laser scanner and 3D point cloud processing

software, the Getac K120 rugged tablet is used to help the Bureau of Cultural

Heritage, under the Ministry of Culture and Lugang Mazu Temple scan and create

3D models, in an effort to digitally preserve the cultural assets for future

research and restoration.

The Getac K120 is equipped with several advanced technologies that can be used

in digital modeling in the field such as the latest-generation Intel Core

series processor, with Iris® Xe graphics card, which supports intensive data

computation and captures the full details in its digitally scanned models,

while maintaining low power consumption. It supports Wi-Fi 6 technology for

smooth connectivity to receive a large amount of data from the 3D laser scanner

on-site in real-time. In addition, the Getac K120 tablet comes equipped with a

12.5-inch full high definition (FHD) display, featuring 1,200 nits of

brightness and LumiBond® 2.0 technology, allowing operators to see the screen

clearly even under direct sunlight. Certified to meet the MIL-STD-810H and

MIL-STD-461G standards, as well as the IP66 standards, the Getac K120 tablet is

shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof, making it a perfect device for outdoor

operations.

"The Getac K120 is the perfect computing platform for an outdoor environment

that can dramatically improve the efficiency of on-site 3D modeling with its

long battery life and high-performance computing capabilities. We can now view

the scan results in the field while operating for long periods. In the past, we

could only scan 20 locations a day with a consumer laptop. However, with the

Getac K120, we can scan up to 70 locations per day, which is a 250 percent

increase in efficiency," said Yao Liang-Chu, manager at LeaderTek.

"Taiwan is constantly under the onslaught of natural disasters, making the

digital preservation of monuments even more urgent. LeaderTek used the Getac

rugged tablet in combination with 3D laser scanners to complete the digital

modeling of Lugang Mazu Temple. These digital models can be used as a reference

for future maintenance of these historical monuments so that details can be

accurately restored," said Chen Chun-Yu, an assistant researcher in the

Institute of Cultural Heritage Preservation Research Center, Bureau of Cultural

Heritage, Ministry of Culture of Taiwan.

As part of the Getac Select® solutions, the Getac K120 comes with accessories

such as shoulder straps, hand straps, and hard handles that meet LeaderTek's

needs for on-site operations, in line with Getac's efforts in building the best

optimized overall solutions for industry application scenarios. The Getac K120

rugged tablet is protected by Getac's industry leading Bumper-to-Bumper

Warranty(https://www.getac.com/intl/help-support/warranty/), a hassle-free

guarantee for the customers, covering accidental damage and environmental risks.

"When technology crosses paths with historical heritage, K120's ruggedness and

high performance enhance the possibility of preserving history. 3D scanning

application is the perfect demonstration of how K120 can be used for on-site

operations and how our and our partner's hardware and software technologies can

undergo seamless integration. This practice can further expand to meet the

needs of other industries, such as factory environment measurement, plant

monitoring, and mapping," said Rick Hwang, President of Getac Technology

Corporation.
