Hi, since some days I've been thinking about implementing routines to utilize the infrared channel supplied by my Nikon LS-2000 scanner for automatic defect correction. Is someone already working on this? My ideas for a first shot on this are (with low IR values ("black") being high defect probability values): - Identify single defects (pixel clusters): - Count all pixels above a certain probability threshold automatically as defects - Group adjacent defect pixels into defect clusters - Add pixels adjacent to a cluster that are above a second (lower) defect probability threshold to the defect cluster - Join defect clusters that share pixels added in the previous step - Repair defects by interpolation between "healthy" pixels. Obviously this is the trickier part of it all. Comments or ideas are welcome.
