Paper Dating Analysis Based on Paper Texture Image Feature

Paper dating analysis is an important research direction of document inspection, which is widely used in the inspection and identification of cultural relics and ancient books. This article focuses on the analysis of paper dating in ancient books, and proposes a non-destructive inspection and analysis method based on paper fiber texture images. Aiming at the global stacking morphology of paper fibers and the local features of specific types of fiber morphology, we propose a neural network-based hybrid texture feature extraction and representation method: On the one hand, we use convolutional networks to obtain global features of fiber texture; at the same time, we designed a method of extracting and representing local fiber morphological features based on the attention mechanism. By mixing the above two types of features, we realize the extraction and representation of paper fiber features. Furthermore, we use the GRU(Gate Recurrent Unit) model to establish a paper dating time series model and design a new loss function. In order to verify the method, this paper selects 36 domestic books published from 1950 to 2000, and uses the document checker VSC 6000 to collect paper texture images as a dataset, and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method on this dataset. Experiments prove that the method proposed in this paper has achieved ideal results in paper dating analysis.
