Abstract: A system for digitizing an image from an optical substrate having at least a first defect comprises a digital image capture device, a first light source positioned at a first position relative to the digital image capture device, and a second light source positioned at a second position relative to the digital image capture device. The second position is offset with respect to the first position. Light emitted from the first and second light sources are combined at a light receiving portion of the digital image capture device for causing the first defect to be nullified from a composite digital representation of the image that is generated using information outputted from the digital image capture device.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein (e.g., systems, methods, and computer-readable program products) provide a high definition range “UHD” compatible version of classic image content (e.g., as-released motion pictures) that was created in an era of limited dynamic range and that maintains aesthetic characterization defined by “Director's Intent” of the classic image content. Such implementations advantageously use clues to the Director's Intent found in the classic image content to make intelligent estimations as to what a Director (or other image content editing professional) was attempting to achieve in the classic image content relative to a corresponding original image content (e.g., as-shot image content). The original image content holds original imagery details that have been altered or omitted during creation of corresponding classic image content. The classic image content exhibits attributes that reflect the Director's Intent such as, for example color, contrast, vignetting, saturation, and the like.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to using digital photographic film processing techniques for restoration of photographic film having a color grid over an underlying silver film. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention improve the resolution and reduce the noise of images with color matrix dots for use with modern digital display technologies. In doing so, embodiments of the present invention advantageously overcome the adverse situation of color matrix dots in images being distracting when viewed directly, particularly in the case of the modern world of digital displays because displaying such a color matrix as is has previously not been practical on a digital display, however means of suppressing the dots in preparation for a digital display have produced low resolution and noisy images.
