Abstrak

In the 1970s, the United States Environmental Protection Agency sponsored Documerica, a large-scale photography initiative to document environmental subjects nation-wide. While over 15,000 digitized public-domain photographs from the collection are available online, most of the images were scanned from damaged copies of the original prints. We present and evaluate a modified histogram matching technique based on the underlying chemistry of the prints for correcting the damaged images by using training data collected from a small set of undamaged prints. The entire set of color-adjusted Documerica images is made available in an open repository.
