Abstract :
In this paper an algorithm to digitally restore vintage photographic prints affected by water blotches is proposed. The algorithm uses a new simple and effective semiautomatic detection, and a smart restoration method based on an additive/multiplicative model. The obtained results show that these defects are completely removed without producing significant artifacts.
