Abstract

One of the most common and striking distortions in archived motion picture film is the presence of scratches and blotches. The blotches may take the form of regions of high contrast which appear at random positions in the frame as in Figures 6.1 and 6.14. They rarely occur in the same location in consecutive frames. Line scratches are a separate problem which is considered in Chapter 9. This form of distortion tends to be correlated from frame to frame.
