Think Before You Restore: Risk-Aware Manchu Manuscript Restoration with Stroke-Guided Attention

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces SAGE-Restore, a stroke-aware restoration framework for full-page blind restoration of historical Manchu manuscripts. It first predicts patch-level repair probabilities using appearance and stroke-structural cues, then refines these into pixel-level soft gates to selectively apply restoration candidates. The authors also propose a fidelity-aware evaluation protocol and report that SAGE-Restore achieves superior recovery and fidelity metrics compared to existing methods.

Beyond Pixel Reconstruction: Retrieval-Guided Glyph-Aware Restoration for Low-Resource Manchu Historical Documents

The paper introduces a retrieval-guided glyph-aware restoration framework for low-resource Manchu historical documents. Unlike traditional pixel-level reconstruction methods, it incorporates glyph-level structural knowledge by retrieving relevant glyph exemplars to guide the restoration process. Experiments show that this approach improves both image quality and glyph fidelity compared to existing methods.

ImIR: Image-Instruction Tuning for All-in-One Image Restoration

The paper introduces ImIR, a method that tunes a large pretrained image‑editing model for all‑in‑one image restoration by replacing text prompts with continuous image‑derived instructions. The approach uses a lightweight token mapper to shift the degraded image’s vision‑language embedding toward that of a clean image, enabling a single adapter to handle six restoration tasks in about three hours on one GPU. ImIR outperforms text conditioning in matched comparisons and supports task‑agnostic restoration without requiring a degradation label.

Restore What Matters: Lessons from Joint Restoration and Recognition

arXiv:2609.13791v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recognition pipelines typically adopt a restore-then-recognize workflow, yet decades of experience show that generating visually pleasing images seldom...
