description Cultural heritage digitization is of great significance for the protection, restoration, and rejuvenation of cultural relics. In particular, the investigation of fading mechanisms is essential for virtual restoration to accurately recreate the original appearance of artifacts and facilitate humanistic and historical research. For the purpose of investigating the color fading mechanism of pigments, we propose a color fading time series model using a combined long short-term memory recurrent neural network modified by the gray wolf optimization algorithm (GWOAD-LSTM). First, the general gray wolf algorithm was scaled up to two dimensions and combined with an LSTM model for optimal parameter search. Second, six pigments commonly used in painted artifacts were subjected to simulated aging experiments. Third, by applying the experimental data to different predictors, the results of the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Long Short-Term Memory on Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO-LSTM), and GWOAD-LSTM models were compared. The results showed that our proposed GWOAD-LSTM model outperformed other models in terms of accuracy and generalization ability, especially in predicting hLC color attributes. Our study aimed to provide a new application tool for the restoration and rejuvenation of painted artifacts.
