PoemColor framework revives ancient paintings with poetic semantics

Researchers have developed PoemColor, a novel framework designed to restore the original colors of ancient paintings by aligning poetic cultural semantics with visual restoration. This method addresses the challenges of historical ambiguity and modern semantic bias in colorization. PoemColor utilizes a Poetic Painting Projector to convert poetic context into classical color conditions and employs Structure-Aware Semantic Attention to control the injection of poetic color semantics into diffusion models. The framework was evaluated using a hybrid dataset and demonstrated superior performance in delivering historically authentic and semantically rich colorizations. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and culturally sensitive AI-driven restoration of historical art.

    Reviving Ancient Paintings via Poem: A Colorization Framework for Aligning Cultural Semantics

    arXiv:2607.17638v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The irreversible fading of ancient paintings disrupts the "congruence between poems and paintings", a core aesthetic principle where visual imagery harmonizes with literary inscriptions. Although diffusion models provide strong gene…
