A Genetic Algorithm for Scratch Removal in Static Images

چکیده

This paper investigates the removal of line scratches from old niovies and gives a twofold contribution. First, it presents simple technique for detecting the scratches, based on an analysis of the statistics of the grey levels. Second, the scratches removal is approached as an optiniisation problem, which is solved by using a genetic algorithm. The method can be classified as a static approach, as it works independently on each single frame of the sequence. It does not require any a-priori knowledge of the absolute position of the scratch, nor an external starting population of chromosomes for genetic algorithm. The central column of the line scratch once detected is changed with a conventional linear interpolation; this transforniation is the starting point of the optimisation process.

Static Task Allocation in Distributed Systems Using Parallel Genetic Algorithm

Over the past two decades, PC speeds have increased from a few instructions per second to several million instructions per second. The tremendous speed of today's networks as well as the increasing need for high-performance systems has made researchers interested in parallel and distributed computing. The rapid growth of distributed systems has led to a variety of problems. Task allocation is a...

Comprehensive Solutions for Removal of Dust and Scratches from Images

Dust, scratches or hair on originals (prints, slides or negatives) distinctly appear as light or dark artifacts on a scan. These unsightly artifacts have become a major consumer concern. There are several scenarios for removal of dust and scratch artifacts. One scenario is during acquisition, e.g., while scanning a photographic media. Another is artifact removal from a digital image in an image...

Identification of High Crash Road Segment using Genetic Algorithm and Dynamic Segmentation

This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm for recognizing high and low crash road segments using Genetic Algorithm as a dynamic segmentation method. Social and economic costs as well as physical and mental injuries make the governments perceiving to road safety indexes in order to diminish the consequences of road accidents. Due to the limitation of budget for safety...
