Automatic Restoration of Old Motion Picture Films Using Spatiotemporal Exemplar-Based Inpainting
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for automatic removal of local defects such as blotches and impulse noise in old motion picture films. The method is fully automatic and includes the following steps: fuzzy prefiltering, motioncompensated blotch detection, and spatiotemporal inpainting. The fuzzy prefilter removes small defective areas such as impulse noise. Modified bidirectional motion estimation with a predictive diamond search is utilized to estimate the motion vectors. The blotches are detected by the rank-ordered-difference method. Detected missing regions are interpolated by a new exemplar-based inpainting approach that operates on three successive frames. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated on an artificially corrupted image sequence and on a real motion picture film. The results of the experiments show that the proposed method efficiently removes flashing and still blotches and impulse noise from image sequences.

Improving Exemplar-based Image Completion methods using Selecting the Optimal Patch
Image completion is one of the subjects in image and video processing which deals with restoration of and filling in damaged regions of images using correct regions. Exemplar-based image completion methods give more pleasant results than pixel-based approaches. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to find the most suitable patch in order to fill in the damaged parts. This patch selection ...
