A Novel Method for Detection and Removal of Line Scratch in High Resolution Digital Film

Introduction For at least one decade a need for automaticrestoration of degraded film has been growing.The classical film restoration is based on specialcopying machines to improve the quality of safe-keeping copies.However,such techniques do notpermit the removal of all kinds of degradations be-cause the unit of manipulation is always the physi-cal filmstrip.With the help of digital imagesequence's processing techniques the restorationprocess can be adapted for each frame,each pixeland also f…

A Novel Method for Detection and Removal of Line Scratch in High Resolution Digital Film

With increasing need of high quality movie, more and more standard resolution films are upconverted to the high-resolution films. After this operation, the defects exist in the old movie are more obvious because they are enlarged in size, therefore, an efficient artifacts detection method with more precise result and lower computational complexity is in need. This paper provided a line scratch mathematical model, which derives from the Kokaram model and Bruni model, and then gave a detection method to meet the requirements of the high-resolution video application.
