OSCAR: A significant advance in the motion picture industry

摘要

With a history of film transfer going back 70 years and over 750 scanners in daily use globally, Cintel is internationally renowned for pushing the technical boundaries of film scanning and image data creation. This paper discusses Cintel's latest technological innovation, OSCAR, which effortlessly eliminates the film industry's greatest headache - the effect of dust and scratch on film. It is unusual to find significant technical advances in an industry as mature as the film industry. However Cintel's Oscar is such a dramatic advance that it may change the view of many as to the continuing use of motion picture film and it could also revolutionise film archive restoration facilities.
