Application of Deep Learning Intelligent Laser Scanning Technology in Mural Digitization

Abstract

Ancient Chinese murals have a long history and a large number of types. They are witnesses to the development of ancient Chinese civilization. They still have important historical, artistic, and scientific values, as well as other values such as cultural relics, economy, and missionary education. Yet, the clear and smooth images of earlier have been damaged and covered by fog after the ancient murals were destroyed by human being and the nature. Therefore, the ancient murals that exist till now have been bothered by different damages and sickness. Protection and prevention are needed the most. In recent years, the application of scientific and technological means has played a role in the protection of ancient murals, making the work methods of cultural relics protection more scientific and diverse. In the context of the increasingly rich digital protection of cultural relics, the protection of murals requires more innovative work. However, at present, the resolution of ancient murals is low and the texture details are ambiguous, which leads to the problems of insufficient viewing and low research value. This paper focuses on ancient Chinese murals and conducts exploration on the phenomenon of mural damage and blurred colors. The deep learning intelligent laser scanning technology is used to extract the damaged ancient mural images. In this thesis, the images of murals have been restored using the new-super resolution technology to achieve the optimal mural images so that the mural images are more beautiful and artistic, which provides new ideas for the protection of murals.
