Restoration of archive film material using multi-dimensional soft morphological filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for the optimisation of 3-D grey-scale soft morphological filters using genetic algorithms is described, which has applications in the restoration of archive film material. This method extends an existing 2-D (spatial) to the 3-D (spatio-temporal) domain, thus allows the filtering to make use of the temporal nature of the corruption and hence improve its performance.

Genetic algorithm optimization of multidimensional grayscale soft morphological filters with applications in film archive restoration
Automatic restoration of old film archives has become of increasing interest in the last few years with the rise of consumer digital video applications and the need to supply more programming material of an acceptable quality in a multimedia context. A technique is described for the optimization of multidimensional grayscale soft morphological filters for applications in automatic film archive ...
متن کاملImage Restoration with Two-Dimensional Adaptive Filter Algorithms
Two-dimensional (TD) adaptive filtering is a technique that can be applied to many image, and signal processing applications. This paper extends the one-dimensional adaptive filter algorithms to TD structures and the novel TD adaptive filters are established. Based on this extension, the TD variable step-size normalized least mean squares (TD-VSS-NLMS), the TD-VSS affine projection algorithms (...
متن کاملStabilization of Vibration on Archive Films by Automatic Multi-scale Rof Selection
The cost of human operation is a bottleneck in the restoration of large quantities of archive films. Eliminating the vibration of a degraded image makes a difficulty in an automatic film restoration system. The vibration is usually caused by improper film transportation during the recording, copying or the digitization process. We have developed an automatic method for image stabilization consi...
متن کاملNon-motion-compensated region-based dirt detection for film archive restoration
Theodore Vlachos University of Surrey Center for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing Guildford, GU2 7XH, United Kingdom Abstract. A novel non-motion-compensated method is proposed for dirt detection in archived film sequences. A confidence measurement extracted from raw differences between current frame and each of the previous and next frames is used to exploit the temporally impulsive nature...
متن کاملSemi Automatic Digital Motion Picture Restoration System with Learning Capabilities
We have developed a semi automatic film restoration system, DIMORF (DIgital MOtion Picture Restoration System for Film Archives), working with a minimum effort of parameter settings and training, with adaptive learning abilities, at relatively high speed. The system is being applied for the restoration of old films, characterized by strong color distortions, scratches, dirt, vibration, and flic...
