Detection and Removal of Line Scratches in Motion Picture Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Line scratches are common degradations in motion picture films. This paper presents an efficient method for line scratches detection strengthened by a Kalman filter. A new interpolation technique, dealing with both low and high frequencies (i.e. film grain) around the line artifacts, is investigated to achieve a nearby invisible reconstruction of damaged areas. Our line scratches detection and removal techniques have been validated on several film sequences.

Removal of Color Scratches from Old Motion Picture Films Exploiting Human Perception
In this paper a unified model for both detection and restoration of line scratches on color movies is presented. It exploits a generalization of the light diffraction effect for modeling the shape of scratches, while perception laws are used for their automatic detection and removal. The detection algorithm has a high precision in terms of number of detected true scratches and reduced number of...
متن کاملFilm line scratch removal using Kalman filtering and Bayesian restoration
A suitable detection/reconstruction approach is proposed for removing line scratches from degraded motion picture films. The detection procedure consists of two steps. First, a simple 1D-extrema detector provides line scratch candidates. Line artifacts persist across several frames. Therefore, to reject false detections, the detected scratches are tracked over the sequence using a Kalman filter...
متن کاملReview: Line Scratch Detection in Motion Films
Video inpainting is often used as a tool to assist user in removing objects or repairing damaged areas in a video. Scratch detection and removal are important subjects for video restoration. Line scratches are main problems in motion films. Such problems may produce a very annoying effect on the viewer. Many algorithms have been developed so far among which some are directly extended from the i...
متن کاملInterpolation of scratches in motion picture films
Movie films are often damaged through ageing, chemical changes and contact with mechanical parts of a film projector. In this paper a method for the removal of scratches and undesirable lines in digitised film sequences is discussed. The method assumes the prior knowledge about the position and orientation of the scratches and utilises an iterative method to interpolate the affected pixels. The...
متن کاملA New Method for a Fast Detection and Seamless Restoration of Line Scratches in Motion Pictures
Line scratches are common artefacts in old motion pictures that may produce a very annoying effect on the viewer. In this paper, we will introduce a new method for fast detection and high quality restoration of this kind of degradation. Our detection method relies on the statistical characteristics of the intensity of pixels in the scratched areas of frames. For high quality restoration of the ...
