ABSTRACT
From the early age of technology mankind is always fascinated about capturing the scenes around them. These photographs work as an important media to know and understand the past. Unfortunately, due to aging, repetitive usage and in presence of external reagents, the perceptual quality of these old images degrade severely. Thus, restoration of vintage photographs is an important application of digital image processing. In this paper we propose an algorithm which is able restore an image suffered with contrast fading and color cast. The approach can not only restore grayscale images but also is able to binarize archival documents.

Contrast Stretching Recursively Separated Histogram Equalization for Brightness Preservation and Contrast Enhancement
ACT '09: Proceedings of the 2009 International Conference on Advances in Computing, Control, and Telecommunication TechnologiesContrast enhancement of an image can efficiently performed by Histogram Equalization. However, this method tends to introduce unnecessary visual deterioration such as saturation effect. One of the solutions to overcome this weakness is by preserving the ...
Blurred image restoration: A fast method of finding the motion length and angle
Motion blur in photographic images is a result of camera movement or shake. Methods such as Blind Deconvolution are used when information about the direction and size of blur is not known. Restoration methods, such as Lucy and Richardson or Wiener ...
