New smoothing plugin: Curvature Flow Approximation
Hi everybody,
recently I created a new smoothing plugin. This is the abstract from the help file: Curvature flow equations smoothen images by smoothing their level lines. In contrast to linear smoothing filters, they do not only conserve sharp edges, but also have some remarkable properties like contrast invariance, or affine invariance. This filter resembles some recently discovered approximation schemes that (more or less) inherit many of those properties.To put it in a nutshell, this plugin is a little collection of morphological smoothing filters. Morphological filters (especially the median) have been implemented quite often, so now I put myself in the list of morphological developers. I still hope this filter might have some nice applications, especially the erosion-/dilation-only-modes. I recommend you to have Shubin's NoiseGenerator plugin (find it in WarpEnterprises' Filter Collection) installed if you want to try the Demo.avs script (a home made low-entropy noise generator will be used otherwise). The filter is attached to this thread (as zip-file), I hope this works out... Go ahead and try it - if you have some comments on this plugin, please don't hesitate and post them here - every comment is wellcome! Regards, AMSS Edit: Added version 2008.02.23 as announced here.

gives a nice sort of look. little slow though
i think it would be good for animation - it tended to strip a lot out of the live action i gave it. i'll have to try it on my home machine that has a wider variety of samples on it.

I'll have to try this on some older anime sources. In my first impression it's results look like TBilateral on anabolic steroids, or more like that NL-means look.

Can make animé look pretty soft at times (like a combination of TBilateral and WarpSharp without the sharp), but it does clean up dot crawl. Could be useful in conjunction with a good sharpener.

Update to 2008.02.23
Hi everybody,
I updated AVSCurveFlow to version 2008.02.23. Main change is the removal of AviSynth_C.dll. Thanks to Fizick, this file isn't necessary anymore (Plugin is still loaded with LoadCPlugin). Further (minor) changes are listed in the help file. The file is attached to the original post of this thread. Have fun, AMSS |
