TAPE (resToration of digitized Analog videotaPEs)

Introduced by Lorenzo Agnolucci et al. in Reference-based Restoration of Digitized Analog Videotapes20 Oct 2023 archive 2025-07-28

A dataset of videos synthetically degraded with Adobe After Effects to exhibit artifacts resembling those of real-world analog videotapes. The original high-quality videos belong to the Venice scene of the Harmonic dataset. The artifacts taken into account are: 1) tape mistracking; 2) VHS edge waving; 3) chroma loss along the scanlines; 4) tape noise; 5) undersaturation. The dataset comprises a total of 26,392 frames corresponding to 40 clips. The clips are randomly divided into training and test sets with a 75%-25% ratio.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

7 shown of 7 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 7. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
