Abstract

This paper studies the restoration of color-quantized images. Restoration of color-quantized images is rarely addressed in literature, and direct applications of existing restoration techniques are generally inadequate to deal with this problem. In this paper, we propose a restoration algorithm for restoring color-quantized images. This algorithm makes good use of the available color palette to derive useful a priori information for restoration. Simulation results show that it can improve the quality of a color-quantized image remarkably in terms of both SNR and CIELAB color difference metric. Its performance is obviously better than that of other conventional algorithms in the simulation.
