Abstract

Mural paintings are important cultural heritage resources, but their digital restoration is challenged by peeling, cracks, fading, blur, and the need to preserve structural coherence in high-resolution images. This paper proposes SAG-MR, a structure-aware diffusion framework for mural restoration. SAG-MR integrates a Structure-Aware Cluster-Centric Scanning Module (SCCSM), a Structure-Guided Feature Modulation (SGFM) module, and an overlap-aware reconstruction strategy to enhance global structural reasoning and local detail recovery. We construct HRM-1550, containing 1550 paired mural samples with reference images, degraded images, masks, sketches, and degradation labels. Averaged over peeling, cracks, fading, and blur, SAG-MR achieves 46.091 PSNR, 0.886 SSIM, 0.289 LPIPS, and 19.99 FID on HRM-1550, outperforming restoration-oriented and general-purpose generative baselines under controlled degradation settings. Qualitative results further indicate improved contour continuity and motif consistency.
