Abstract
Due to the defects of optical systems, image sensors, and imperfect algorithms for image acquisition, compression, and restoration, color artifacts often appear in images obtained by imaging devices such as digital cameras and scanners. Moreover, color artifacts are difficult to eliminate because of technical limitations, even in some mature commercial cameras. On the basis of red, green, and blue (RGB) intersection (RGBI), a correction method for color artifacts is proposed in this paper, where the RGB intersection-based method can effectively detect various types of color artifacts. Also, by combining the object information with weighted bilinear interpolation, the continuity of the image is kept while restoring the real color. Experiments demonstrate that the RGBI method, which is applicable to all color images, can eliminate various types of color artifacts with accurate detection and less artifact residue, even if the image has severe color distortion or the areas of the color artifacts are small and discrete.
