VariableBlur/BinomialBlur

Back to VariableBlur ←

Description

BinomialBlur works by repeating a 5x5 or 3x3 kernel based on pascals triangle multiple times to blur the image.

With a variance above 1 the result is very close to a true Gaussian blur and much faster (for variance below ~30).

Requirements

- Progressive input only

- Supported color formats: YV12

Syntax and Parameters

BinomialBlur (clip, float "varY", float "varC", int Y, int U, int V, bool "useMMX")

clip   =

Input clip

float  varY = 1.5

float  varC = 1.5

Variance to use; varY for luma, varC for chroma (U/V).

Remember variance=sd^2. The variance is rounded down to the nearest half integer(0.5,1.0,1.5 etc).

Radius 1 in version <=0.2 is equal to variance 0.5. Default 1.5

int  Y = 3

int  U = 2

int  V = 2

Controls which planes the filter is applied to:

• 3 : corresponding plane will be filtered
• 2 : corresponding plane will be copied from the source
• 1 : corresponding plane will be ignored
• from 0 to -255 : corresponding plane will be assigned the absolute value.

bool  useMMX = true

If true MMX instructions will be used. Default true for variance>1 else false.

Examples

BinomialBlur with default values:

AviSource("Blah.avi")
BinomialBlur(varY=1.5, varC=1.5, Y=3, U=2, V=2, useMMX=true)
