用近代画作指导恢复古代画作褪色，提升色彩还原精度。
PRevivor: Reviving Ancient Chinese Paintings using Prior-Guided Color Transformers
- 基于近代画作风格先验，分两步修复亮度与色调。
- 在真实退化数据上，显著优于现有色彩复原方法。
- 适合文化遗产数字化、艺术修复领域研究人员参考。
中国古代绘画是珍贵的文化遗产，但因不可逆的色彩退化而受损。由于复杂的化学机制，恢复褪色画作极具挑战性，且缺乏高质量、全面的数据集，阻碍了端到端数字修复工具的发展。为此，我们提出PRevivor，一种基于先验引导的色彩变换模型，利用明代、清代等近世画作的学习经验来修复唐代、宋代等古代画作。我们将色彩修复分解为两个连续子任务：亮度增强与色调校正。亮度增强采用两个变分U-Net与多尺度映射模块，将褪色亮度映射回恢复后的版本；色调校正则设计双分支色彩查询模块，通过从褪色画作中提取的局部色调先验进行引导。其中一支关注由掩码先验引导的区域，实现局部色调修正；另一支保持无约束状态，以维持全局推理能力。在多种主流色彩化方法对比实验中，结果表明PRevivor在定量和定性评价上均表现更优。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ancient Chinese paintings are a valuable cultural heritage that is damaged by irreversible color degradation. Reviving color-degraded paintings is extraordinarily difficult due to the complex chemistry mechanism. Progress is further slowed by the lack of comprehensive, high-quality datasets, which hampers the creation of end-to-end digital restoration tools. To revive colors, we propose PRevivor, a prior-guided color transformer that learns from recent paintings (e.g., Ming and Qing Dynasty) to restore ancient ones (e.g., Tang and Song Dynasty). To develop PRevivor, we decompose color restoration into two sequential sub-tasks: luminance enhancement and hue correction. For luminance enhancement, we employ two variational U-Nets and a multi-scale mapping module to translate faded luminance into restored counterparts. For hue correction, we design a dual-branch color query module guided by localized hue priors extracted from faded paintings. Specifically, one branch focuses attention on regions guided by masked priors, enforcing localized hue correction, whereas the other branch remains unconstrained to maintain a global reasoning capability. To evaluate PRevivor, we conduct extensive experiments against state-of-the-art colorization methods. The results demonstrate superior performance both quantitatively and qualitatively.
