Abstract

Detecting line scratch in motion is a tedious job because it requires spatial as well as temporal features needs to be extracted. Scratches are caused by abrasion of film material as it passes through projection mechanism. One main problem in this is false detection. Spatial algorithm is used to detect scratch inside the frame using frame-wise scratch detection and temporal algorithm is used for filtering false detection. Preprocessing is required to get fine results. Experiment result shows the detection of line scratches in motion picture.
