ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for detecting and removing defects from images. Defects in an original image sequence are detected and optionally repaired using well-known techniques. Non-image data is generated containing intermediate results from the automatic defect detection and repair stage. The non-image data may include motion estimation, granularity and defect size/location information. The invention allows the operator to review the original and repaired image sequences, and optionally the non-image data, in an interactive session to accept, reject or further modify any of the automatic repairs in a more efficient manner.
