Genetic Algorithm Optimization of Multidimensional Grayscale Soft Morphological Filters With Applications in Film Archive Restoration
Introduction• Film dirt is the common problem in old film archives.• This damage manifests itself as “blotches” of random size,
shape and intensity.• These blotches are nontime correlated.• The cost of conventional restoration are very high.• Some of then can only deal with physical film strip.
• Most of the conventional image sequence restoration algorithms involve median filtering.
• Then, lots of median filter are Introduced.
Soft Morphological Filters (SMF)• Grayscale soft morphological filters.• Two parts of the structuring element : the hard center and
the soft boundary.• Less rigidly in noisy conditions more tolerant to small
variations in the shapes of the objects.
Soft Morphological Filters (cont.)• The structuring system [a,b,r] consists of three parameters:• a is the hard center.• b is called the structuring function.• b\a is the soft boundary.• r is the repetition parameter.• The grayscale soft dilation and the grayscale soft erosion :
Soft Morphological Filters (cont.)• Grayscale soft open-closing and soft close-opening are
combinations of the soft closing and soft opening operations.
Extend to the Spatio-Temporal Domain
• video sequence is a much richer source of visual information than a still image;
• image sequences that contain fast motion always been a problem in the restoration of film archives.
Discussion• Structuring function size = 773 .• Running for 500 generations.
• Fitness of LUM = 98.56
• Fitness of LUM = 98.56• Fitness of optimized SMF = 99.52
Discussion (cont.)
Discussion (cont.)• To compare with a method which is depend the detection
of the noise using the ROD detector [19] with ML3Dex filter[20].
• It filters the detected noisy pixels and leaves the remaining image pixels untouched.
• Use the same noise detection with optimized SMF.

• Fitness of ML3Dex= 99.54• Fitness of SMF with noise detection = 99.88
Discussion (cont.)• SMF could perfectly restore all fast-moving objects.
Conclusion• A technique for the optimization of multidimensional
grayscale soft morphological filters using the GA.• Showed excellent performance in removing dirt from film
and has little effect on the image detail.• The fast-moving objects were restored perfectly.
