Infrared Against Scratches

Besides the RGB illumination unit, the ARRISCAN uses an additional infrared illumination channel to identify film defects. Since film color dyes are transparent for infrared light, the ARRISCAN sees only film defects (such as dust, lint and scratches) in the infrared image, which means such defects can quickly be isolated and corrected.

Kodak’s DIGITAL ICE Technology uses the infrared channel of the

ARRISCAN to automatically remove dust, scratches and blemishes from a scanned image. First, DIGITAL ICE identifies all defects in the image and then reconstructs the true color information wherever possible; the number of blemishes is thereby reduced significantly. Remaining defects that are too severe to be reconstructed perfectly are marked

in an additional defect map, which can either be stored as a matte or embedded into the scanned image. Downstream workflow productivity both in terms of labor and time is significantly improved.

Optimized for the ARRISCAN image processing chain, DIGITAL ICE is seamlessly embedded into the data path and is applied to the images on-the-fly while scanning.

The DIGITAL ICE package is available as an additional option for the

ARRISCAN.
