A Generative Adversarial Approach with Residual Learning for Dust and Scratches Artifacts Removal
Retouching can significantly elevate the visual appeal of photos, but many casual photographers lack the expertise to operate in a professional manner. One particularly challenging task for old photo retouching remains the removal of dust and scratches artifacts. Traditionally, this task has been completed manually with special image enhancement software and represents a tedious task that requires special know-how of photo editing applications. However, recent research utilizing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has been proven to obtain good results in various automated image enhancement tasks compared to traditional methods. This motivated us to explore the use of GANs in the context of film photo editing. In this paper, we present a GAN based method that is able to remove dust and scratches errors from film scans. Specifically, residual learning is utilized to speed up the training process, as well as boost the denoising performance. An extensive evaluation of our model on a community provided dataset shows that it generalizes remarkably well, not being dependent on any particular type of image. Finally, we significantly outperform the state-of-the-art methods and software applications, providing superior results.

Removing Stripes, Scratches, and Curtaining with Non-Recoverable Compressed Sensing
Highly-directional image artifacts such as ion mill curtaining, mechanical scratches, or image striping from beam instability degrade the interpretability of micrographs. These unwanted, aperiodic features extend the ima…
