That would be nice, ResampleHQ is by far the best resizer out there (you can really see the differenze when there is overlayed text, ResampleHQ looks much brighter and more natural), 16 bit input and output would mean having a pretty big part of the filtering process with higher precision, which really would help a lot when encoding with the Hi10P profile.

If you are bothered by the dark halos (they don't seems too bad to me) why not giving dehalo_alpha a try?
Setting brightstr to 0.0 and darkstr to 0.0...1.0 should reduce dark halos quite effectively.

For those interested, the results of ResampleHQ can be recreated using DitherTools.

Code:
ImageSource("earthlights_big.jpg")
x = 1200
y = 600

Dither_convert_8_to_16()
Dither_y_gamma_to_linear()
Dither_resize16(x, y)
Dither_y_linear_to_gamma()
DitherPost()
This produces slightly incorrect colors as it skips a YUV->RGB->YUV, which is theoretically wrong as chroma is not independent of luma. However, the differences are marginal, especially compared to the increased sharpness by avoiding chroma resampling (and also any chroma shift).

See the following images:

ResampleHQ


DitherTools

You probably forgot the Dither_linear_to_gamma() after Dither_resize16().

You can also do the linear<->gamma conversion in the RGB colorspace:

Code:
Dither_convert_yuv_to_rgb (output="rgb48y")
Dither_y_gamma_to_linear (tv_range_in=false, tv_range_out=false, u=1, v=1)
Dither_resize16 (w, h, u=1, v=1)
Dither_y_linear_to_gamma (tv_range_in=false, tv_range_out=false, u=1, v=1)
Dither_convert_rgb_to_yuv (
\	SelectEvery (3, 0), SelectEvery (3, 1), SelectEvery (3, 2),
\	lsb=false)

I like the kernel visualization very much. I have additional question:
Is it maybe so, that in case of downsizing some kernels do not ring or blur so much or are sharper, than it is visualized in the chart?
For example started to use Bicubic everywhere because I am afraid of ringing, but maybe, there should be better choice in case of downsizing.

Weird things are going on with ResampleHQ, especially in dark areas:

ResampleHQ -> Dither_resize16 -> Spline36resize

This is probably is a bug report.

I was evaluating various resize methods with an anime source.

Dither_y_gamma_to_linear()
Dither_resize16(1280, 720)
Dither_y_linear_to_gamma()
http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/7812/mawarugamma1.png

ResampleHQ(1280,720,srcmatrix="TV.709",dstmatrix="TV.709",dstcolorspace="YV12",kernel="SPLINE36")
http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/4...warugamma3.png

Spline36Resize(1280,720)
http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/6...warugamma4.png

The PNGs are taken with AvsPmod (Rec.709 matrix).

The luma plane is correct with dither_resize16 and ResampleHQ, which is what I expected.
The chroma planes, instead, look very different with ResampleHQ, the reds are much "darker".

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/69/mawarugamma5.png
The source frame.

Moreover if we convert to RGB and then resize with ResampleHQ (just use the last png as source, if you want to test), the result is again very different.

I think there is a bug in how ResampleHQ handles chroma in YV12 mode.

I am interested in learning more about the techniques and algorithms behind this. The author has started a blog series on http://int64.org but there were no updates since July of last year. And the 2 articles there don't contain much detail. Are there particularly good books/papers/blogs on the subject that I can look into?

You may find ImageMagick documentation, source code and forums interesting. For example, that page.

I got a bit distracted with some real life things, but I'll be posting something new soon with more technical details.

What are you interested in learning about? Gamma correctness? Resampling? Colorspace conversion?

Double post I know. Actually over at Anime Music Videos forum user Mister Hatt explains that PhrostByte didn't find any major bugs with chroma, PhrostByte apperantly reported that over IRC channel.

Here is the link to that thread and Mister Hatt's statement:

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/foru...08819#p1433031

Here is what the next version of Reasmple-Hq will bring:

Changelog from http://svn.int64.org/viewvc/int64/re...doc/index.html
Resample-HQ Version 9 (Pending)

Bug fix: fix resizing very small frames.
Bug fix: infinite loop with certain invalid arguments.
FMA3 color conversions for Intel Haswell.
FMA3/FMA4 vertical resampler.

No mention of chroma bugs.

Just wanted to share.

The bug is actually in avisynth 2.58, 2.6 is fine (I think the avisynth bug was found while talking to mirkosp in IRC soon after that post).

Never actually bothered to update the post with the new info.

It's not a bug. It was just that the specific frame had very fine detail (red on white), so when downscaling the two get mixed and so the red becomes slightly darker. Using extremely sharp kernels for chroma (sinc with 8 taps) mitigates the issue (the colours are lighter) and no visible artefacts are introduced despite being sinc (since it's only on the chroma).
The issue was very evident in that case since due to :reasons: rgb input was getting downscaled to yuv (I blame Adobe), so obviously introducing a colourspace conversion is gonna make the colour shifting a lot more obvious. There is, however, a slight difference in rgb->yuv conversion output between 2.58 and 2.6, with 2.6 being very slightly better. But obviously, if you start doing rgb->yuv->rgb->yuv you're just getting the reds darker at every conversion back to yuv with that image (converting to rgb doesn't really shift the colours, it's just switching them back that introduces the issue).
Obviously, this is all completely unrelated to resamplehq and I'd guess avisynth isn't really at fault either. You can't expect black magic when dealing with colourspace conversions.

i wondered if the new(ish) deepcolour tools could be used with internal temporalsoften? my intuition tells me this would be a bad idea.

the reason is that, like the spatial filtering in resampleHQ, temporal filtering is strongly affected by working in linear space.

my canon DSLR workflow involves the adding of motion blur (shoot without to allow better stabilization, add back later), and it just wasn't quite convincing me. wrapping the whole sorry mess in converttorgb and levels(0,1/2.2,255,0,255) showed there was a benefit to the way the motion blur worked out, but of course a massive detriment on account of the banding from that quick proof-of-concept.

so now i'm on the hunt for a way to step this up to higher bit depths in order to get a more natural looking motion blur.

this might have an effect on denoising as well, though whether it's positive or negative remains to be seen (i think it's worth a try).

Questions about color spaces

Are RGB24 and RGB32 in ResampleHQ in fact sRGB (or maybe system colorspace?)?

Is following formula used for conversion between linear RGB and ITU‐R BT.709?
V= 1.099*L^0.45 – 0.099 for 1 ≥ L ≥ 0.018
V = 4.500*L for 0.018 > L ≥ 0
where:
L: luminance of the image 0 ≤ L ≤ 1
V: corresponding
I am asking because theoretically different formula is recommend for displays and for cameras (which I consider generally as mistake - formula should be the same and watching conditions should be tuned to the formula, not the opposite).

Is FCC the NTSC color space?

Is it possible to use ResampleHQ to convert sRGB to TV.709?

Finally, am I correct that VirtualDub is not color space aware and is displaying everything in sRGB/system colorspace?

RGB isn't sRGB or system color space or anything; it is just RGB values. You have to know what kind of RGB it is if you want to convert it to another gamut.

ResampleHQ's docs do state it uses sRGB gamma equations. Most modern digital video (blurays, YouTube, etc) are supposed to be mastered to sRGB gamut (sRGB uses the same primaries and white point as BT.709). I assume HD cameras try to get as close as they can to BT.709 but given how bad consumer monitors and TVs are I wouldn't expect it to be that close except in the very high end. Each camera probably needs its own calibration. It would be interesting to know if there are cameras that target a different gamut.

I do not know of any video tools available to convert from custom gamuts, i.e. convert from a custom measured color space of a camera to BT.709. There must be some though.

I normally think of the NTSC color space as NTSC (1987) = BT.601 but there are others one might call NTSC as well.

It is easy to use ResampleHQ to convert to TV.709, just set dstmatrix="TV.709".

You are right VirutalDub is not color space aware and always uses the same coefficients when converting to RGB for display. Note that all programs must convert to RGB at some point during display; VirtualDub doesn't know which matrix YUV it is getting so has to assume one. I would be nice to have a setting for this.
