Removal 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 a...
