Digital restoration for textile cultural relics via a structure-guided neural network based on CNN-Transformer
摘要
Ancient textiles embody rich historical information but often suffer from pattern loss and structural degradation due to long-term aging and wear. Although digital technologies provide non-contact solutions for their preservation, existing restoration methods still struggle to maintain structural continuity and reconstruct fine-grained textures. To address these issues, this study proposes a structure-guided image restoration framework for ancient textiles based on a CNN-Transformer architecture. The proposed method decouples structural and texture modeling into cooperative subnetworks, effectively constraining the global pattern layout and enhancing the local texture consistency during the image completion process. Experimental results on both simulated data and real-world ancient textile images demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several existing approaches. For a missing rate of 20%, the proposed method achieves a PSNR of 35.65 dB and an SSIM of 0.975, while maintaining a stable performance under higher missing-rate scenarios.
