Interpolation of scratches in motion picture films
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 convergence of the algorithm is guaranteed for the noise free case and the optimal choice of the involved relaxation parameter is demonstrated. The method was validated using sampled movies and proved to be stable even in the presence of noise. Remarkable is the reconstruction result in comparison to standard interpolation techniques like cubic splines.

Detection and Removal of Line Scratches in Motion Picture Films
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 ...
متن کاملReplacement Noise in Image Sequences { Detection
Many archived motion pictures suuer from what we term replacement noise, that is various degradations such as dirt, scratches, ngerprints etc, where the original picture is replaced by some unrelated information. In this paper we use markov random eld based motion eld segmentation to detect these areas, and then interpolate into the gaps using a motion-compensated interpolation scheme to restor...
متن کاملRemoval 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 کاملAn improved motion-compensated restoration method for damaged color motion picture films
In this paper, we propose an improved motion-compensated restoration method for color motion picture films deteriorated due to flashing blotches. The method consists of an improved multiresolution block matching with log-D search, a rank ordered differences-based blotch detection and 3D vector median filtering for interpolation of missing data, and utilizes five consecutive frames. Performance ...
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...
