    Virtual Restoration of Vintage Photographic Prints Affected by Foxing and Water Blotches

    No full text
    We propose a new algorithm to digitally restore vintage photographic prints affected by foxing and water blotches. It semiautomatically recovers the defects utilizing the features of the stains. The restoration process enhances the residual image information still present in the area. It is composed of three different steps: inpainting, additive-multiplicative (A-M) modeling, and interpolation

    Technique to Correct Yellowing and Foxing in Antique Books

    New algorithms for the automatic restoration of antique documents affected by foxing and by yellowing deterioration processes are proposed in the paper. The physical restoration of such objects is both expensive and hard to carry out by nonspecialised library personnel. The proposed algorithms ensure fast and less expensive results, and can be used also by nonqualified operators. Moreover, these techniques improve the performance of optical character recognition operators
