MSharpen for Avisynth 2.5

Here is MSharpen compiled for Avisynth 2.5. It currently supports only RGB and YUY2.

Yes, of course. The YV12 revolution sort of threw a kink in my plans.

You could look at ffdshow's msharpen implementation. I attached the source of the sharpen filters. There is a C and assembler version a little down. Look at my warpsharp port, if you'd like to see how the different variables are mapped.

I converted Warpsharp/Xsharpen, but didn't want to release msharpen, since you said you were working on it yourself.

Edit: I should not that the attachment only contains a source file.

@sh0dan

If you have coded MSharpen for YV12, by all means please send me the code.

No - I didn't - the code from ffdshow isn't pretty, but it seems to do the job well. It only processes luma, but for sharpening, that's probably better. There might be some pitch issues, since ffdshow assumes input pitch = output pitch.

This concerns the Avisynth 2.0 version so it might be a little off topic, but your msharpen seems to work miracles at reducing edge noise and ringing in Akira
keep up the good work!

Considering that MSharpen is designed to apply EE and not reduce it, I find this very surprising. But hey, if it does good things for you...I'm happy.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I have another question concerning where in my script I should use the MSharpen filter. Specifically, my question is whether I should use it before or after convolution3d. I just want to be sure that I don't inadvertantly screw up the quality (even if it isn't noticeable, I just want to be on the safe side).
Here's my script:
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\Avisynth2\plugins\Decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\Avisynth2\plugins\MSharpen.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\GordianKnot\Avisynth2\plugins\Convolution3D.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Akira\akira_part1_init_02.d2v")
FieldDeinterlace()
Convolution3d(preset="animeLQ")
MSharpen(threshold=15)
BicubicResize(512,288)
Like I mentioned earlier, MSharpen is actually greatly reducing edge noise and ringing for this movie, and it only bumped the filesize up by (if I remember correctly) a hundred KB or so for a 430MB clip.

I don't like MSharpen after FieldDeinterlace because it amplifies residual combing. Better to do it this way:

SeparateFields()
MSharpen()
Weave()
FieldDeinterlace()
Convolution3d()
BicubicResize()

I think it's OK before Convolution3d() as long as you use a reasonable threshold for MSharpen(). The areas you want Convolution3d() to clean up are the non-edge areas of MSharpen().

Thanks, I'll try that. Although, after using forced-FILM there aren't very many combed frames, and the ones that are are often in such dark and noisy scenes that after resizing, the frame already looks like it was compressed in mpeg4

OK. If it is just catching a few strays your method is probably fine.

YV12 support for MSharpen

Attached is MSharpen version 1.10 beta 1. It adds low-level optimized support for YV12.

This enhancement was contributed by Klaus Post and Milan Cutka. Thank you!

Did you modify it to only sharpen luma in YV12, or is it just a leftover from the older YUY2 documentation:
Quote:
In YUY2 and YV12 space it sharpens only the luminance channel.

It's a leftover. I'll correct it.

The new help file also needs to say Version 1.10 also. Did you miss that?

Thanks again for submitting this improvement.

Hi Neuron,

hmmm... I get a green screen with this one :

LoadPlugin("C:\video\avsfilters\yv12\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\avsfilters\yv12\msharpen.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\tests\vts_01.d2v",cpu=0,idct=2)
Crop(26,76,668,424)
MSharpen()
BicubicResize(448,320,0,0.5)
AddBorders(16,128,16,128)

Something with cropping values I guess ?

Regards,
FuPP.

Did you try anything to isolate the problem?

Comment out the Crop, BicubicResize, and AddBorders and tell me what happens.
