MAF3Net: Multiscale Attention and Frequency Domain Feature Fusion for Oracle Cross-Domain Recognition Networks
摘要
Oracle bone script, the earliest known Chinese writing system, holds immense cultural heritage value. Digitizing its recognition is crucial for preservation, but challenges like image degradation, noise, and cross-domain differences between handwritten and scanned data persist. To address these OBI-specific challenges, we propose Multiscale Attention and Frequency Domain Feature Fusion for Oracle Cross-Domain Recognition Networks (MAF3Net). First, an Adaptive Multi-Scale Attention Enhancement Module (AMAE) combines MultiScaleConvBlock (MSCB), AdaptiveResidualBlock (ARB), and Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to enhance feature discriminability and robustness for low-resolution oracle images. Second, a FFC-based Discriminator (FD) module employs frequency-domain analysis to explicitly capture stroke-level textures and global structural features, which are crucial for OBI. Evaluated on the Oracle-241 dataset, our method achieves 56.2% ± 0.8% accuracy on scanned data–9.1% higher than the best baseline–while maintaining 95.68% ± 0.2% accuracy on handwritten data. Although evaluated on a single dataset, this research provides a novel and tailored technical paradigm for the intelligent preservation of cultural heritage such as oracle bone inscriptions.
