This plugin function adjusts the histogram of a frame by either equalizing it or by matching with histogram of another image, or with given histogram table of values.
Windowed equalization . In this mode the window for deriving the input clip histogram, steps half window size each time. This windowed processing may not be suitable for all images.Possible blocky appearance. 3 window sizes for coarse, medium and fine output. Use of small value for limit may give better results
The function accepts RGB, YUY2 and Planar (YUY2 and YV12 only in 2.5 version) color formats. Clip to be processed and to be used for matching need not have identical color formats and dimensions. For example processing clip can be YV12 , 720 X 480 pixels while matching clip is YUY2, 256 X 16 pixels.
If matching with given table values, then matching clip need not be specified. The second parameter is a table of integer pairs.Each pair consists of Luma ( intensity)value and the second number is population (type = 4) or cummulative population (type = 5) at this value.The table is normalized by the plugin and so approximate values are OK. Due to limitation of number of parameters that can be input through Avisynth, not more than 25 pairs can be specified. It will be possible to input by table any desired histogram shape. The plugin linearly interpolates and extrapolates to construct a full normalized histogram from these values. In case of RGB input the selected color histogram is adjusted. For other formats Y value histogram is adjusted.
| Description | Name | Type | Limits | Default |
| Input clip histogram of which is to be altered | clip | none | ||
| The following is a table of Histogram values, to be specified only if 'table' is true | ||||
| Luma value | integer | 0 to 255 and to inrease monotonically | ||
| population or cummulative population at this luma value | integer | non negative. In case of type = 5, should monotonically increase and Max value is 256. | ||
| Type of process | type | integer | 1 for equalization 2. for windowed equalization, 3 for matching with specified frame, 4 for matcing with given table of Luma, population. 5. for luma vs cummulative population | 1 |
| Clip in which image for matching is available | mclip | clip | valid clip to be specified only if required | dummy clip |
| frame number on clip for matching | mf | integer | within clip | 0 |
| limit on % of change in value allowed. | limit | integer | 1 to 100 | 100 |
| If windowed processing opted size of window. | wsize | integer | 1(coarse), 2 (mediu) and 3 (fine) | 2 |
| color of RGB input to process. | rgb | integer | 0: red, 1 : Green, 2: Blue | 1 (green) |
