SPATIALLY ADAPTIVE FLICKER COMPENSATION FOR ARCHIVED FILM SEQUENCES USING A NONLINEAR MODEL
Guillaume Forbin, T. Vlachos, S. Tredwell · 2005
We present an algorithm suitable for the compensation of flicker in archived film sequences. The proposed method is a substantial improvement over our previous work which adopted a nonlinear approach to flicker compensation motivated by fundamental principles of photographic image registration. The improvements include reliability weighting, spatial adaptation and motion compensated weighting. We present experimental evidence which suggests that our method compares favourably with competing state-of-the-art techniques for flicker correction. 1
