Abstract: The article discusses the experience of using artificial neural networks for virtual 3D reconstruction of historical interiors, using the example of the Kuzminki estate from the XVIII to early XX centuries. The Kuzminki manor complex, located in the southeastern part of Moscow, is a unique architectural monument and cultural heritage, with a history dating back more than 300 years.
This estate was originally a summer residence of the Stroganov family and later passed into the hands of the Golitsyn family. Famous architects such as M.F. Kazakov, I.V. Egotov, A.N. Voronikhin, and representatives of the Gilardi family contributed to its construction. Bykovsky also participated in its development since the 1840s. In this paper, we demonstrate a hybrid approach that combines classical 3D modeling with neural network tools using the example of the reconstruction of the Kuzminki Manor ballroom. The approach involves the use of 3ds Max and Corona Renderer for 3D modeling, as well as Tripo AI, Prome AI, and Midjourney for neural network tools. Special attention is given to the reconstruction of an Empire-style ceremonial chair. This includes the generation of a 3D model based on 2D references, the creation of authentic textures, and the integration of the object into a virtual space. The relevance of this research lies in the need to develop effective methods for recreating lost cultural heritage sites using modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The author of this study has been the first to explore the possibilities of utilizing artificial neural networks (ANNs) in solving the problem of virtual reconstruction of historical manor interiors, using the example of the Kuzminki estate.
A comparison between classical and ANN methods has shown that ANNs offer new opportunities for creating virtual 3D interior reconstructions. They allow for a different approach to visualizing specific interior furnishings, which is not inferior to traditional modeling techniques. At the same time, ANNs act as a tool or virtual assistant, and the results can be controlled. The study confirmed the effectiveness of neural network technologies as a tool for the reconstruction of historic interiors. This is especially evident when using classical modeling and visualization techniques in conjunction with neural networks.

Abstract: Historical interiors of manor complexes as one of the main forms of spatial organization of life in the Russian Empire in the 18th – early 20th centuries are unique historical monuments that unite both social and individual elements charactering everyday life of the privileged classes of the Russian Empire. Stylistically and compositionally, historical interiors of Moscow Oblast manor complexes have a special place increasingly attracting the attention of Russian history and culture researchers. However, today most of Moscow Oblast manor complexes are ruined and their interiors are completely lost. The latest computer technologies grant unique opportunities for their virtual 3D-reconstruction and further preservation. The article generalizes types of interiors of Moscow Oblast manor complexes of the 18th – early 20th centuries and describes the transformation of t interiors throughout the main periods of classical manor complex culture development. The author clarifies a ceremonial interior type by the example of Nikol’skoe-Uryupino manor (Krasnogorsk district, Moscow region, Russia) and reconstructs the interiors in the Main Building and the White House by collecting an extensive database of visual and textual historical sources. The result of this work is 3D-reconstruction of the main ceremonial interiors of Nikol’skoe-Uryupino manor made in Autodesk 3DsMax and visualized in Corona Renderer software. The research was conducted in collaboration with the Central State Archive of Moscow Oblast.
