Abstract

A flash and long-exposure image pair captured in a dark environment is blurred and noisy. To remove this blur or noise from the image pair there are so many deblurring techniques existing. In this paper implemented a new technique for Restoration of Color Images is introduced. In previous methods, image integration is performed only for well-aligned images, which is a difficult process. This problem can be solved by transferring the color of the flash image using a small fraction of the corresponding pixels in the long-exposure image. Proposed method integrates the color of the long-exposure image with the detail of the flash image using Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF). This method does not require perfect alignment between the images than the previous methods. Proposed method generates integrated image which has a high contrast than the previous method which is based on SIFT.
