Establish a limit = Temporal Luma Threshold * Temporal influence First check this : if (Abs (Y0 - Y0[Previous frame]) + Abs (Y0 - Y0[Next frame]) + Abs (Y1 - Y1[Previous frame]) + Abs (Y1 - Y1[Next frame])) > limit then do spatial work (only 3*3 matrix) Else do spatial and temporal work (3*3*3 matrix) The lower it is -> the faster will be the filter but compressibility should be lower The higher it is -> the slower will be the filter but compressibility should be higher if temporal influence is set to -1 then only spatial work is done (high speed). This parameter is a float. 2 - Parameters sample I build the following presets to make things easier : Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") // Movie Hi Quality (good DVD source) is an alias for Convolution3D (0, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2.8, 0) Convolution3d (preset="movieLQ") // Movie Low Quality (noisy DVD source) is an alias for Convolution3D (0, 6, 10, 6, 8, 2.8, 0) Convolution3d (preset="animeHQ") // Anime Hi Quality (good DVD source) is an alias for Convolution3D (0, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0) Convolution3d (preset="animeLQ") // Anime Low Quality (noisy DVD source) is an alias for Convolution3D (1, 8, 16, 8, 8, 2.8, 0) Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ") // Anime Bad Quality (???) is an alias for Convolution3D (1, 12, 22, 8, 8, 2.8, 0) Convolution3d (preset="vhsBQ") // VHS capture Bad Quality (???) is an alias for Convolution3D (0, 32, 128, 16, 64, 10, 0) I had to test Convolution3d with bad quality TV capture and in this case you'll have to higher especially the chroma tresholds (causing some ghosting but the overall quality seems to be better). I personnaly use these parameters : Convolution3D (0, 32, 128, 32, 128, 10, 0) The thresholds of Convolution3d are only here to take care of edges and scene change. You can increase the spatial one (especially the chroma threshold) but stop as soon as you see some blurring around the edges (if you want quality). With the settings proposed you shouldn't have this problem. The Temporal one should be left below 10 to avoid ghosting. You should especially take care of the threshold with matrix 1, because with this matrix the current frame has less weight so it's easier to have ghosting. You can find some informations about how it works in : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29829 4 - Credits (2002) Thanks to bb for the original idea and a lot of tests iago, Koepi and TheReal for real full length movie (or capture) tests Tom Barry, Dividee and Sh0dan for their usefull technicals informations or ideas Ctrl-Alt-Suppr for a french tutorial Defiler for hosting Convolution3d all Convolution3D users Vlad59 (babas.lucas@laposte.net) Useful links: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Convolution3D#Spatio-Temporal_Denoisers https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49806 Change log : 2021/03/11 v1.1 (pinterf) - Original code from http://web.archive.org/web/20130118045049/http://hellninjacommando.com/con3d/beta/con3d-yv12-beta5.zip - project moved to github: https://github.com/pinterf/Convolution3D - Migrate from VC6 to Visual Studio 2019, v142 toolset - Drop all (buggy beta) inline SSE assembler - Rewrite routines in SSE2 SIMD - Turn into Avisynth 2.6 interface - Preserve frame properties when Avisynth+ v8 interface - Add YV16, YV24 and YV411 format support besides YV12 - known bug: left and right side calculation can theoretically cause crash 2003/03/29 Beta 5 : - Reorganize all the code : it should be easier to maintain and also faster - Maybe other thing I forgot :( 2003/01/01 Beta 4 : - Change AvisynthPluginInit to AvisynthPluginInit2 2003/01/01 Beta 4 Test : - New optimizations (works on byte instead of words) - Rewrite a lot of the macros to simplify the code - Added some debug output to show the SMP status - If debug parameter = -2 -> Force SMP use - If debug parameter = -1 -> Disable SMP use - Added new fast mode with 11 check point only (instead of 27) : If matrix = 2 -> Fast original matrix (121) if matrix = 3 -> Fast simple matrix (111) - Fix some problem on non mod-4 width 2002/11/30 Beta 3 : - Added little optimization on threshold checks - Should now work with any mod2 width - Checked some potential rounding problems - added basic filtering to border pixels - added case insensitive presets (for Sh0dan !) 2002/11/16 Beta 2 : - Added SMP optimizations (Thanks to MaTTeR for the beta test, +2~4 fps for him). - Reorganize a little the code (new .h files) - If both ythresh and t_ythresh = 0 then luma is not processed at all (speed gain). - idem for chroma 2002/11/07 Beta 1 : Initial YV12 release 2002/10/19 v1.01 : - Fixed a stupid bug producing garbage on last line (sometimes Copy-Paste is your enemy ;)) 2002/10/18 v1.00 : - Added version to the dll - Added named parameters - Added the special preset parameter - Added some little optimizations (~1-3% more speed) - Added a lot of comment (at least it's a lot for me ;)) 2002/09/21 Beta 4 : - Added separate pitch for each frame. Older version use the same pitch for previous, current and next frame (Thanks to dividee for this bug). - Fixed some rounding bugs with matrix 0 (Thanks to WarpEnterprises, Manono and Sh0dan for the report) - Replaced treshold by threshold : bloody typos (Thanks to CAS (a french guy) for this) - added some parameters check 2002/08/24 Beta 3 : - Fixed some rounding bug - Add a little more MMX : +8% in speed but -10% in readability ;) - Again some code cleanup and some renamed variables - New parameter for fade in or fade out (see beta2 change log) : was hardcoded (value = 3) in beta 2. 2002/08/17 Beta 2 : - Fixed some bugs in the threshold check - Fixed a weird bug in the temporal blur used on borders (Should improve quality) - Added specific temporal threshold to be sure to avoid ghosting (I found this idea while reading the readme.txt if STMedianFilter of trbarry where the same difference is made between spacial and temporal threshold, thanks for the idea Tom) - Completly rewrote the threshold check to allow working with byte instead of words - Added a specific check for fade in or fade out to avoid using Temporal informations in this case (in these scenes : compressibility will be lower but quality better), will be an option in next release. 2002/08/10 Beta 1 : - Added the simple full 1 matrix (thanks to Dividee for the hint about div 27). - code is now included (I had no time to comment & clean it, but I promess to release it) - fixed problem with last line producing garbage 2002/08/09 Alpha 5 : - Some functions are inlined -> + 1fps - small changes in the code -> +0.2 fps 2002/08/07 Alpha 4 (maybe the last alpha) : - Green rectangle problem corrected - cropping problem solved - could be a little slower (I'll check that this weekend) 2002/07/31 Alpha 3 : - Lots of code cleanup - removed unneeded emms (for higher speed) - Now this filter is only 40% slower than TemporalSmoother only - Added a check for SSE capable CPU only - Added a check for YUV input only 2002/07/30 Alpha 2 : - Added a lot of MMX/SSE optimizations - changed the way to deal with values > threshold 2002/07/27 Alpha 1 : Initial alpha
