Many algorithms have been proposed in literature for digital movie restoration; unfortunately,
none of them ensures a perfect result whichever is the image sequence to be restored. Here …

In this paper a fast algorithm for removing line scratches in old movies is presented. It is
strongly based on exploiting the defect visibility in the image. To this aim the Weber's law …

A detection and tracking approach is proposed for line scratch removal in a digital film
restoration process. Unlike random impulsive distortions such as dirt spots, line scratch …

This paper presents a unified model for the detection and removal of line scratches. It is
based on modelling the scratch effect by allowing for the diffraction of light. The paper gives …

A scratch detection and restoration is very important, as scratches are the most common
form of degradation of old films. The goal of the current study is to develop a fully automated …

In this paper, an automatic film line scratch removal system is developed that can deal with
all kind of scratches. For this we use the spatial information of scratches: the scratch in old …

In this paper, we consider the problem of detecting and removing blue scratches from digital
image sequences. In particular, we propose a detection method and a removal method that …

This paper reports a distributed algorithm for the restoration of still frames corrupted by
vertical line scratches. The restoration is here approached as an optimisation problem, and …

Spikes of brightness often locally affect single frames of aged motion pictures, because of
dust, dirt and scratches injuring the film surface. We present a method for accurate digital …

This paper presents a scratch detection method that automatically detects all kinds of
scratches from each frame in old films. Generally, the scratch in old films has lower or higher …
