VDFP: Video Deflickering with Flicker-banding Priors

Researchers introduced VDFP, a video deflickering method to remove banding artifacts from smartphone screen captures.

The paper also presents DeViD, a new dataset for modeling and evaluating complex periodic banding in videos.

VDFP uses degradation modeling and flicker-aware priors to synthesize and suppress banding while preserving detail and temporal consistency.

The work targets a common restoration problem that existing models often handle poorly, with potential value in consumer video cleanup and media pipelines.
