Digital Restoration Systems: Coping with Reality

Despite the increase of available restoration systems, the dream of fully automatic restoration is still a myth. This is because it is simply not possible to generate fully accurate mathematical models of image sequence formation that can deal with all types of pictures and movement and so always ensure that perceptually “good” pictures are being produced. Quite often users are faced with the results of processing that show picture damage that is worse than the original data, or they must fine-tune parameter settings to such an alarming degree that the label of automatic processing is not meaningful anymore. This is a fundamental problem across many applications of image sequence processing.
