"Foxing" in vintage photographs: Detection and removal
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new algorithm to digitally restore vintage photographic prints affected by the ”foxing” defect is proposed. The algorithm is composed of several automatic and consecutive steps where detection of damaged areas is coupled with removal methods. The restoration algorithms are based on an inpainting technique and on an additive/multiplicative model. The first one replaces the lost data; the second one fixes the defective area searching for optimal parameters around the damaged area. The obtained results show that the foxing spots are completely removed without producing significant artifacts.

Virtual restoration of vintage photographic prints affected by foxing and water blotches
We propose a new algorithm to digitally restore vintage photographic prints affected by foxing and water blotches. It semiautomatically recovers the defects utilizing the features of the stains. The restoration process enhances the residual image information still present in the area. It is composed of three different steps: inpainting, additive-multiplicative (A-M) modeling, and interpolation....
متن کاملTechnique to correct yellowing and foxing in antique books
New algorithms for the automatic restoration of antique documents affected by foxing and by yellowing deterioration processes are proposed in the paper. The physical restoration of such objects is both expensive and hard to carry out by nonspecialised library personnel. The proposed algorithms ensure fast and less expensive results, and can be used also by nonqualified operators. Moreover, thes...
متن کاملAmid the possible causes of a very famous foxing: molecular and microscopic insight into Leonardo da Vinci's self‐portrait
Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait is affected by foxing spots. The portrait has no fungal or bacterial infections in place, but is contaminated with airborne spores and fungal material that could play a role in its disfigurement. The knowledge of the nature of the stains is of great concern because future conservation treatments should be derived from scientific investigations. The lack of reli...
متن کاملRemoval of Background Crowds Using Object Detection and Inpainting
This proposal provides an introduction of the motivation behind and final end goal of our proposed project. We aim to implement an end-to-end pipeline for identifying and removing unwanted background crowds in photographs via object detection and inpainting. We also provide a brief exploration of the existing methods that we plan to build on.
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...
