Speed and compression of different denoisers
These are some tests I recently ran on different denoisers I figured I'd share.
Noisy clip: 4000 frames of Sex and the City (NTSC, 4:3) Clean clip: 4000 frames of Fellowship of the Ring (PAL, 16:9 (2.35)) Code:
* = Added on first edit ** = Added on second edit *** = Last added Denoiser Time Size Noisy clip None 5:33 (100%) 64,0 (100%) *Unfilter(-5,-5) 5:33 (100%) 56.0 (88%) *Undot() ´ 5:35 (101%) 61.4 (96%) temporalsoften(2,3,3,2,6) 5:47 (104%) 62,5 (98%) Mergechroma(blur(1.3)) 5:48 (105%) 61,4 (96%) **DNR2() 5:57 (108%) 62.0 (97%) *TemporalCleaner() 5:57 (108%) 62.0 (97%) temporalsoften(3,5,5,2,10) 5:59 (108%) 59,8 (93%) **STMedianFilter(8,15,4,7) 6:04 (109%) 60.3 (94%) temporalsoften(4,8,8,2,10) 6:04 (109%) 58,0 (91%) *Deen() 6:08 (111%) 53.3 (83%) fluxsmooth() 6:11 (111%) 57,4 (90%) convolution3d("moviehq") 6:14 (112%) 62,2 (97%) convolution3d("movielq") 6:14 (112%) 59,7 (93%) **Peachsmoother() 6:28 (117%) 53.7 (84%) SpaceDust() 6:46 (122%) 54,0 (84%) ****convolution3d("vhsbq") 7:05 (128%) 57.6 (90%) **SmoothHiQ(7,20,25,230,5) 16:54 (305%) 50.3 (79%) FaeryDust() 26:17 (474%) 55,6 (87%) PixieDust() 26:36 (479%) 48,7 (76%) GoldDust() 26:49 (483%) 40,4 (63%) Clean clip None 3:20 (100%) 26,3 (100%) *Undot() 3:21 (101%) 25.8 (98%) *Unfilter(-5,-5) 3:22 (101%) 23.5 (89%) Mergechroma(blur(1.3)) 3:30 (105%) 25,9 (98%) **DNR2() 3:31 (106%) 26.7 (102%) (!?) temporalsoften(2,3,3,2,6) 3:34 (107%) 25,5 (97%) temporalsoften(3,5,5,2,10) 3:42 (111%) 25,1 (95%) **STMedianFilter(8,15,4,7) 3:43 (112%) 26.2 (100%) *TemporalCleaner() 3:45 (113%) 25.9 (98%) temporalsoften(4,8,8,2,10) 3:47 (114%) 24,9 (95%) fluxsmooth() 3:50 (115%) 24,2 (92%) *Deen() 3:56 (118%) 22.4 (85%) convolution3d(movielq) 3:58 (119%) 25,0 (95%) convolution3d(moviehq) 3:59 (120%) 25,6 (97%) **Peachsmoother() 4:03 (122%) 24.3 (92%) SpaceDust() 4:07 (124%) 22,2 (84%) ***convolution3d("vhsbq") 4:23 (132%) 25.1 (95%) FaeryDust() 12:14 (367%) 23,9 (91%) GoldDust() 12:45 (383%) 20,5 (78%) PixieDust() 12:48 (384%) 22,3 (85%) **SmoothHiQ(7,20,25,230,5) 14:10 (425%) 20.6 (78%) One thing to note though is Convolution3D. It seems to be a common misconception that it’s very slow, but as you can see it’s not. All tests were run with Avisynth 2.51. Dust with the help of Warpsharp’s LoadPluginEx() Also, if you’re missing a filter leave its name and setting here and I’ll add it * Take note of Undot and Unfilter (both by Tom Barry IIRC). How is it possible they hardly affect encoding speed, yet in Unfilter's case (and to much lesser extent Undot) changes the picture's size greatly? It would seem there are hardly any extra calculations done or something like that Not that I'm complaining... Last edited by N_F; 23rd April 2003 at 10:00. |

how about smart smoother HQ ? I use it a lot in virtualdub. you should be able to load it into avs.
Also, I find compression important but quality more so. Smart smoother gives me very good results. So does convolution3d. |

I'll try to add all the filters you've mentioned within a day or two.
@PerCIVaL - I haven't had any success with sshq in avisynth yet, but I'll see if I can get it to work. @Prettz - Well my basic specs are Athlon 1300, 256 MB mem, Win XP. But I don't think it'll do you any good, there are so many other things that makes a difference |

If you are doing an exhaustive set of tests you might also want to include STMedianFilter(8,15,4,7). ( www.trbarry.com/Readme_STMedianFilter.txt )

ehmmm...
how about quality ? a psnr confrontation could be usefull you can use psnr4avi ( http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/_XOO...e/psnr4avi.exe ) Thanks Andres |

N_F, even if it would be a totally subjective judgement, I wonder if you might consider assigning a "quality" factor and then plot a graph in Excel so that time, compression and quality (again, I know that is voodoo) could indicate the general trending of the better combinations?
Probably a real pain in the backside for you |

While we're at it, let's not forget DNR2 as Shayne kindly pointed out in: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44335
I've been toying with this filter over the past few days, comparing it with Pixiedust. I'm quite impressed - the results between the two filters are very close to each other with DNR2 preserving more detail (IMHO) while running much faster. |

@DDogg - I've been thinking about that, but thing is, I have ~30 clips, and it's damn hard seeing any difference without spending a considereble amount of time comparing them. Still, I'll think about it.
Could anyone tell me what sshiq version to use? There seems to be like 10 different versions made by 10 different people available. I've found one by Sh0dan, but it works in RGB IIRC and involves some kind of vdf inport. |

numbers really mean less for this kinda comparisson,and for images,you would have to include at least few settings for each filter (yes,peachsmoother and grapesmoother too...hehe)
so it's a tremendous job for example;there's a source video screenshot,spliced with screenshot after filtering (split screen),this is cropped heavily,but the frame is picked so it had details and some uniform parts too....(this image portion is retained after cropping too) for every filter/settings there's one such jpeg (very small).... (i think somone already did such test..with few denoisers) but as i said too many filters,combinations,numerus settings for each...tough job |

"(i think somone already did such test..with few denoisers)"
It was me but pictures showed were not always very relevant (mostly due to a lack of time). Sorry... "While we're at it, let's not forget DNR2 as Shayne kindly pointed out" Yes, I'd like to play a little bit with that one. Does anybody have some sample scripts with that filter, to use them as a starting point (and then play with parameters)? Regards, FuPP Last edited by FuPP; 18th April 2003 at 11:02. |

@N_F
you should be able to get the latest version here: http://shelob.mordor.net/dgraft/hiq/smoothhiq.html As for vdf import, IIRC there is no avisynth version of the filter yet. The page above has detailed instructions how to correctly import the vdf though. Thanks for the great tests btw! |
