Description

MSharpen is a very simple masked sharpening plugin for AviSynth. This version is a reimplementation of neuron2's old MSharpen plugin. It features better performance, x64 compatibility and less bugs.

Requirements

• AviSynth 2.6.0 or greater
• x64 version requires AviSynth+ r1576 or later
• Supported color formats: RGB32, Y8, YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86 / x64)

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

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

Syntax and Parameters

MSharpen (clip, int "threshold", int "strength", bool "highq", bool "mask")

clip   =

Input clip

int  threshold = 15

Determines what is detected as edge detail and thus sharpened. To see what edge detail areas will be sharpened, use the 'mask' parameter.

Range: 0 to 255

int  strength = 100

Strength of the sharpening to be applied to the edge detail areas. It is applied only to the edge detail areas as determined by the threshold parameter. Strength 255 is the strongest sharpening.

Range: 0 to 255

bool  highq = true

Lets you tradeoff speed for quality of detail detection. Set it to true for the best detail detection. Set it to false for maximum speed.

bool  mask = false

When set to true, the areas to be sharpened are shown in white against a black background. Use this to set the level of detail to be sharpened. This function also makes a basic edge detection filter.

Examples

MSharpen with default settings:

AviSource("blah.avi")
MSharpen(threshold=10, strength=100, highq=true, mask=false)
