Description

BucketMedian is an implementation of spatial median filter adapting bucket(counting) sort algorithm. Also induces BMBorderProc.avsi, a script to safely process broders with MedianBucket.

Requirements

- AviSynth 2.6.0 Alpha5 or greater

- Supported color formats: Y8, YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411

** If you're using AviSynth 2.5.8, YV12 will be the only colorspace supported.

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

Syntax and Parameters

BucketMedian (clip c, int "radius", int "thresh", int "min", int "max")

clip  c =

Input clip; only planar formats are supported and only luma will be processed.

int  radius = 1

The radius of the neighborhood pixel referred to in order to calculate a median.

Higher values require heavy resources. Box size is (radius*2+1) * (radius*2+1).

Range: 1 to 255

int  thresh = 1

Threshold of which determines whether to change a pixel value into a median.

new = absolute(median - old) < thresh ? median : old

(new:filtered pixel value, old:source pixel value)

Range: 1 or higher

int  min = 0

Threshold of low pixel value.

If source's value is lower than this, the pixel is not processed.

Range: 0 to 254

int  max = 255

Threshold of high pixel value.

If source's value is higher than this, the pixel is not processed.

Range: 1 to 255

Examples

MedianBucket with default settings:

AviSource("blah.avi")
MedianBucket(radius=1, thresh=1, min=0, max=255)
