Abstract Mural paintings hold significant historical information and possess substantial artistic and cultural value. However, murals are inevitably damaged by natural environmental factors such as wind and sunlight, as well as by human activities. For this reason, the study of damaged areas is crucial for mural restoration. These damaged regions differ significantly from undamaged areas and can be considered abnormal targets. Traditional manual visual processing lacks strong characterization capabilities and is prone to omissions and false detections. Hyperspectral imaging can reflect the material properties more effectively than visual characterization methods. Thus, this study employs hyperspectral imaging… More >

Abstract Due to the limitations of a priori knowledge and convolution operation, the existing image restoration techniques cannot be directly applied to the cultural relics mural restoration, in order to more accurately restore the original appearance of the cultural relics mural images, an image restoration based on the denoising diffusion probability model (Denoising Diffusion Probability Model (DDPM)) and the Transformer method. The process involves two steps: in the first step, the damaged mural image is firstly utilized as the condition to generate the noise image, using the time, condition and noise image patch as the inputs… More >
