Digital Restoration of Tang Dynasty Ladies’ Costumes in the “Ramming & Washing Silk Painting” Based on AI and 3D Technology

Abstract

Digital restoration has become an effective way to restore traditional costumes, but there are still problems such as low modeling efficiency and difficult pattern recognition. This study focuses on Tang Dynasty ladies in the “ramming & washing silk painting”, integrating AI + 3D technology with costume culture for comprehensive restoration. The methodology includes era-specific analysis for identity and body shape determination, image-based sizing, fabric identification, color matching, and pattern restoration using AI and edge-detection algorithms. Comparative analysis with original images guides 3D modeling and AI-assisted restoration of makeup, hairstyles, and accessories. The successful restoration of the lady on the left’s costume in the “ramming & washing silk painting” proves the effectiveness of this AI + 3D method in protecting and innovating traditional clothing.
