I need to get an image before the scratch is made. One possible technique is to compare the value of the pixels at both the boundaries of the scratch. Also, how do I identify this scratch and draw a line over it in python using OpenCV? I have tried the Hough's method but no luck.
First you need to identify the scratches. There are several methods to do this, maybe the simples is to check the anisotropy in the image.
Compute the Gx and Gy gradients of the image, on a sliding window compute the matrix
[ Sum(Gx²) Sum(GxGy) ]
[ Sum(GxGy) Sum(Gy²) ]
Then get lambda1 and lambda2 using PCA analysis. The window has a strong directional component (scratch) if lambda1 is much greater than lambda2.
Using the anisotropic parts of the image, get the mask of the skretches.
Finally, erase the skretches using inpainting.
