Description

A simple edge cleaning and weak dehaloing function.

Requirements

• AviSynth 2.5.8 or later
• Progressive input only
• Supported color formats: YV12

Required Plugins

Latest versions of the following filters are recommended unless stated otherwise.

• aWarpSharp2
• MaskTools2

Syntax and Parameters

EdgeCleaner (clip c, int "strength", bool "rep", int "rmode", int "smode", bool "hot")

clip  c =

Input clip.

int  strength = 10

specifies edge denoising strength.

bool  rep = true

Activates Repair for the aWarpSharped clip (true; requires Repair)

int  rmode = 17

Specifies the Repair mode:

• Mode 1 is very mild and good for halos.
• Mode 16 and 18 are good to preserve edge structure on strong settings but keep more halos and edge noise,
• Mode 17 is similar to 16 but keeps much less haloing, other modes are not recommended (17; requires Repair).

int  smode = 0

Specifies what method will be used for finding small particles, ie stars:

• 0 : disabled
• 1 : use RemoveGrain
• 2 : use Deen

bool  hot = false

Specifies whether removal of hot pixels should take place.

Examples

EdgeCleaner with default settings:

AviSource("Blah.avi")
EdgeCleaner(strength=10, rep=true, rmode=17 smode=0, hot=false)

Changelog

 03/04/2012  v1.04
     - adapted the code to work with SEt's updated aWarpSharp2
     - removed the redundant fix parameter
     - increased default strength to 10

 06/08/2008  v1.03
     - improved mask that leaves less warping and more original line structure, therefore higher strengths are now safe to use
     - improved StarMask()
     - removed super mode
     - removed srep, sshiqloc, some smodes and VD_SmartSmoothHiQ() due to StarMask() changes

 01/06/2008  v1.02
     - added srep parameter
     - improved particle masking

 01/06/2008  v1.01
     - added masking for particles with two parameters; smode and sshiqloc

 12/05/2008  v1.00
     - removed line darkening, mode 2 mask, RemoveGrain
     - assert changed to colorspace conversion to yv12
     - fixed some logic problems
     - "fixed" the aWarpSharp black pixel bug
     - added Repair
