Description

SmoothUV2 is a modern replacement for the old SmoothUV plugin. It includes two filters:

  • SSHiQ2 - a general purpose spatial denoising filter.
  • SmoothUV2 - a spatial derainbow filter.


Key differences to the original SmoothUV:

  • Filters renamed to SSHiQ2 and SmoothUV2.
  • "fields" parameter renamed to "interlaced" and changed from a boolean to an integer.
  • Additional colorspace support, including HBD.
  • x64 bit version.
  • Version 4.2.0; dropped support for AviSynth 2.6.


Requirements


*** vc_redist.x86.exe is required for SmoothUV2-x86
*** vc_redist.x64.exe is required for SmoothUV2-x64


Syntax and Parameters

SSHiQ2

A general purpose spatial denoiser. SSHiQ has independent parameters for both luma and chroma, meaning that you can process the luma only and leave the chroma intact or vice versa.

SSHiQ2 (clip, int "rY", int "rC", int "tY", int "tC", int "strY", int "strC", bool "HQY", bool "HQC", int "interlaced", int "opt", int "dither")


clip   =
A clip to process. It must be in YUV 8..16-bit planar format and must have at least three planes.


int  rY = 5
int  rC = 3
Radius respectively for luma and chroma planes.
Controls how far from the current pixel neighbors are used.
rY Must be between 1 and 7.
rC Must be between 1 and 7 for 4:2:0 subsampling and between 1 and 3 for 4:2:2/4:4:4 subsampling.
Larger values smooth more.


int  tY = 20
int  tC = 30
Threshold respectively for luma and chroma planes.
Must be between 0 and 450.
Set to 0 for copying the plane.
Larger values smooth more.


int  strY = 240
int  strC = strY
Strength respectively for luma and chroma planes.
It is only used for HiQ mode and it controls how much of the smoothed version should be used at best for calculating the new pixel.
Must be between 0 and 255.


bool  HQY = true
bool  HQC = true
Enables HiQ mode.
Edge processing strength gets automatically reduced.


int  interlaced = -1
Whether the frame is interlaced.
-1 : If frame properties are supported and frame property "_FieldBased" exists - "_FieldBased" value is used.
If frame properties aren't supported or there is no property "_FieldBased" - 0.
0 : Progressive frame.
1 : Interlaced frame.


int  opt = -1
Sets which cpu optimizations to use.
  • -1 : Auto-detect.
  • 0 : Use C++ code.
  • 1 : Use SSE2 code.
  • 2 : Use SSSE3 code.
  • 3 : Use SSE4.1 code.
  • 4 : Use AVX2 code.
  • 5 : Use AVX-512 code.


int  dither = -1
How to convert the internal 16-bit calculation to the clip depth (when clip depth < 16-bit).
  • -1 : Rounding.
  • 0 : Ordered dither.
  • 1 : Error diffusion (Floyd-Steinberg).


SmoothUV2

This filter performs structure-preserving smoothing (blurring) on the U/V (chrominance or colour) information of the image, leaving Y (luminance) intact. It was created in an attempt to reduce the appearance of "rainbows" (cross-colour artifacts) near lines in some cel animation.

SmoothUV2 (clip, int "radius", int "threshold", int "interlaced", int "opt", int "dither")


clip   =
A clip to process. It must be in YUV 8..16-bit planar format and must have at least three planes.


int  radius = 3
Must be between 1 and 7 for 4:2:0 subsampling and between 1 and 3 for 4:2:2/4:4:4 subsampling.
Larger values smooth more.


int  threshold = 270
Threshold. Must be between 0 and 450.
Larger values smooth more.


int  interlaced = -1
Whether the frame is interlaced.
-1 : If frame properties are supported and frame property "_FieldBased" exists - "_FieldBased" value is used.
If frame properties aren't supported or there is no property "_FieldBased" - 0.
0 : Progressive frame.
1 : Interlaced frame.


int  opt = -1
Sets which cpu optimizations to use.
  • -1 : Auto-detect.
  • 0 : Use C++ code.
  • 1 : Use SSE2 code.
  • 2 : Use SSSE3 code.
  • 3 : Use SSE4.1 code.
  • 4 : Use AVX2 code.
  • 5 : Use AVX-512 code.


int  dither = -1
How to convert the internal 16-bit calculation to the clip depth (when clip depth < 16-bit).
  • -1 : Rounding.
  • 0 : Ordered dither.
  • 1 : Error diffusion (Floyd-Steinberg).
