I know that your algorithms are different from what ASF does with ROC and
ICE, but it looks like ASF does their ROC first, and then uses information
from ROC to improve GEM. Part of the ROC algorithm identifies what portion
of each pixel belongs to each dye layer. When the scan includes IR, this
information can be used to help separate the RGBI layers. Using this should
help isolate dust from actual image content.
Does anybody have a Nikon scanner and could they check to see if ROC+ICE
actually does better than just ICE for removal of dust? Or is this just
something that was mentioned in the patents and never implemented in the
commercial software? If fully implemented, it might allow reasonable dust
removal from Kodachrome slides.
