aWarpSharp2(int "thresh", int "blur", int "type", int "depth", int "chroma")
aSobel(int "thresh", int "chroma")
aBlur(int "blur", int "type", int "chroma")
aWarp(edge_mask_clip, int "depth", int "chroma")
aWarp4(edge_mask_clip, int "depth", int "chroma")

Introduction

This filter implements the same WarpSharpening algorithm as aWarpSharp by Marc FD, but with several bugfixes and optimizations.
In addition to the complete aWarpSharp2 algorithm, parts of the algorithm are also available as aSobel, aBlur, aWarp. This allows for more advanced processing.

Requirements

• YV12
• MMXExt capable CPU, blur will be more precise around frame borders if SSSE3 is available.

Description

thresh int = 128
Saturation limit for edge detection. Reduce for less aggressive sharpening.

blur int = 2 for type 0, 3 for type 1
Number of blur passes over edge mask.
Less passes increase sharpening effect,but can produce major artifacts with high depth and thresh.
You can use values higher than 100, but probably won't see any difference.
Chroma is processed with (blur+1)/2 passes.

type int = 0 for aWarpSharp2, 1 for aBlur
Type of blur:

• 0 : radius 6 blur.
• 1 : radius 2 blur, requires around 8x more passes than type 0 for the same effect (will be just 2.5x slower), but produce better quality.

depth int = 16 for aWarpSharp2, 3 for aWarp and aWarp4
Strength of the final warping. Negative values result in warping in oppositedirection.

chroma int =
Processing mode for chroma planes (U and V):

• 0 : fill with zeroes
• 1 : don't care, default for aSobel and aBlur
• 2 : copy
• 3 : process
• 4 : guide by luma - default for aWarpSharp, aWarp, and aWarp4 only
• 5 : same as 3, but don't process luma
• 6 : same as 4, but don't process luma
