Abstract

This thesis presents an algorithm which processes a sequence of digital images to look like a sequence of film-originated images. The algorithm alters frame rate by compressing the original thirty frame per second sequence into a twenty-four frame per second sequence and can, if the user wishes, add grain and/or filmic artifacts such as scratches, bumps, and flicker. Interlacing artifacts associated with video are removed through the use of blurring. The algorithm is tested on a computer-generated sequence of images and a digitized video sequence. The results are then analyzed based on the author's subjective criteria.
