Under the current policy and system, conservation planning is the main means of protection, and the preparation of AH conservation planning needs to be based on detailed information, so high-precision acquisition of current information is crucial. This paper studies and analyzes the application of big data in the protection of AH, analyzes the analysis process framework of big data in the protection and management of AH, discusses the development of strategies for the protection of AH assisted by big data technology(BDT) achievements; Through the analysis of the strategy of building heritage protection assisted by BDT, this paper shows that within the scope of building heritage protection, the use of big data technology can conduct high-density real-time monitoring of building heritage, provide support for enriching the technical means of building heritage protection planning and enhancing its scientificity and rationality, which is of great significance for the protection of future building heritage.
