摘要

Silk manuscripts contain important historical information, but their characters are often degraded by fading, blurring, broken strokes, and local structural loss. This paper proposes a receptive-field-enhanced Transformer restoration model for blurred character images from Mawangdui silk manuscripts. Built on a U-Net-style framework, the model introduces a perception former block (PFB) to capture multi-scale stroke context and long-range dependencies, and a skip feature fusion (SFF) module to improve cross-level feature transmission and preserve stroke details. A task-specific dataset with 4202 training images and 427 test images is constructed, and experiments are conducted under random, 10%–35%, and 35%–60% mask settings. Compared with representative restoration methods and a diffusion-based text-image inpainting baseline, the proposed method improves structural restoration and achieves higher PSNR and SSIM under most mask settings. Model complexity, inference time, NIQE, and CLIP-IQA are also reported.
