Abstract :
Antique photographic prints are subject to fading due to the action of time and of diverse chemical agents. A method for automated virtual restoration of digital images obtained from scanned photographic prints is proposed in this paper. The effects of film grain noise are also taken into consideration. Experimental results on archive photographic material show the performances of the proposed technique.
