Cnr2

Latest revision as of 05:07, 6 February 2023

[edit] Description

This filter is a Chroma Stabilizer for analog sources. It's a temporal filter and it's very effective against two chroma artifacts: Stationary rainbows and huge analog chroma activity.
Cnr2 was inspired by the VirtualDub filter Chroma Noise Reduction 1.1 by Gilles Mouchard.

Note: vsCnr2 is recommended as a modern replacement for Cnr2.

[edit] Requirements

• [x86]: AviSynth+ or AviSynth 2.6
• [x64]: AviSynth+
• Progressive input only
• Supported color formats: YUY2, YV12

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package (x86 / x64)

*** vcredist_x86.exe is required for Cnr2-x86

*** vcredist_x64.exe is required for Cnr2-x64

[edit] Syntax and Parameters

Cnr2 (clip, string "mode", float "scdthr", int "ln", int "lm", int "un", int "um", int "vn", int "vm", bool "log", bool "sceneChroma")

clip   =

Input clip.

string  mode = "oxx"

Mode of each components, "YUV":

• o : wide
• x : narrow; this mode is more sensible to variations, and less effective.
  

float  scdthr = 10.0

Scene change detection threshold (as percentage of maximum possible change):

If sceneChroma is set to true, then it is the maximum possible change including both luma and chroma.

If sceneChroma is set to false then it is the maximum possible change considering luma only (luma only is more reliable).

Lower it to make scene change detection more sensible. If a scene change is detected, Cnr2 will reset the filtering for the new scene.

int  ln = 35

int  lm = 192

int  un = 47

int  um = 255

int  vn = 47

int  vm = 255

l parameters control the luma channel, u and v corresponds to the U/V chroma channels respectively.

The n values are the movement sensibility; higher values will denoise more, but could produce ghosting artifacts.

The m values are the maximum effectiveness of the denoiser; lower them to reduce the denoising effect.

Range: 0 to 255

bool  log = false

Log the scene change stats (output them using OutputDebugString). You can use DebugView to see it.

It will simply list the detected change, the maximum allowable change for the current scdthr setting, and the ratio (at 1.0 or greater a scene change has occurred).

bool  sceneChroma = false

Sets whether or not both chroma and luma are considered on scene change detection (true), or only luma (false).

Luma only detection tends to be more reliable.

[edit] Examples

Cnr2 with default settings:

AviSource("Blah.avi")
Cnr2(mode="oxx", scdthr=10.0, n=35, lm=192, un=47, um=255, vn=47, vm=255, log=false, sceneChroma=false)
