Original Abstract

Only in the last 20 years it has been possible to restore historically valuable films using digital image processing. At the beginning of the digital restoration era they had to be restored by hand, an expensive procedure. In the past few years this has been also possible for educational institutions. Mainly due to steadily decreasing prices for required technical computer equipment. Nowadays most typical faults such as scratches, dirt and flickering can be restored on the digital side, though only in very few cases semi or fully automatically. This paper deals with a fairly new topic of digital film restoration - the color restoration. The first color movies evolved in the 1950s. Due to aging the characteristics of the film material changed which resulted in miscolorings. A possible attempt to restore these types of faults is shown and a developed method for color restoration is introduced.
