DeScratch plugin for film line scratch removing

I develop DeScratch filter for restoration of my old 8 mm films, may be it will be useful to somebody else.

Fizick please pay a look to restoreinpaint source code.
It will let you remove bigger scratchs and pops with excellent quality.
http:\\restoreinpaint.sourceforge.net

It uses digital inpainting techniques to restore lost portions of images with great and amazing results.
You can get big support from its developer.
I hope, in some near future it could be used to remove hardcoded subtitles, not only for ripped DVD, but for old films where some portions of it has been recovered from positive copies with subtitles.

Sorry, but I can't.I don't know how to code anything.
I wasn't asking you to do something for me, just giving you this info in case you find it useful or anybody else find it useful.
I thought you were interested in improving the filter.

1. You can to learn programming.
Standard C is quite simple.
I see your similar posts during about year.
I am not a real programmer too (only FORTRAN long ago).
But if I really needed something, and it is absent, I try do it myself.

Sorry for mentor notes.

2. Thanks for info and links.
I saw it month ago (seemed from you).
But that methods probably is not appropriate to video.

3. My filter works for my video quite well.

4. With what video did you try my filter?
And with what parameters settings?
Can you show one frame from with your scratches.

Fizick, the filter is great but it also falsely triggers not noise - like snowflakes in cartoon material. Is there a way out of fine-tuning the filter?
Thank you, compatriot

Very nice snow. (From what film is it?)
But my main question:
Where are the scratches in these frames?

It's a Russian animated cartoon "Tigryenok na podsolnukhye" (A Tiger Cub on a Sunflower). Dearest Fizick, any scratches are not here the problem but the white snowfalkes themselves, because they are triggered as spots or blobs, which is the sad portion of the story!

Dear Yuri!
The more I read your posts, the more I think, that you talk about my DeSpot filter (former CTMEDIAN), but not about DeSratch filter!
If so, please answer in another thread (an with with more detailed description of your problem):

That could be very true! Because I tried one of the two filters of yours but I don't remember which one. Anyway, I'll try the both and post the results.
My warmest regards

New optimized version of DeScratch is released.
Version 0.3, July 14, 2004 - ported to native Avisynth plugin,
Speed increased due to fast blurring by Avisynth resizing functions.
(From 2 to 15 fps !)
http://bag.hotmail.ru/descratch/descratch.dhtml

Recently we can see a great guide to analog capture at doom9.
But one part of this guide is not very great
It has name "Removal of clicks and scratches"
http://www.doom9.org/capture/descratch.html
Ivo try use DeSpot for VHS horizontal line-drops removing.
I think, that DeScratch is more appropriate tool for descratch
(however is not ideal - current version process only luma plane).
Of course, you must rotate clip for processing with Descratch (and do not forget rotate it in reverse direction after cleaning ).

Example (VHS source from Ivo)


Code:
loadplugin("descratch.dll")
Avisource("drop-outs_.avi")
converttoYV12()
crop(0,0,-0,288) # select top part of frame to save screen space
input=last
assumetff() 
separatefields() # for analog interlaced source
turnleft()
descratch(mindif=4,maxgap=20,minlen=300,blurlen=50,keep=100,border=0,maxangle=0)
turnright()
weave() # restore fields
# Compare source frame and frame after scratch removing
StackVertical(input,last)

For AviSynth:

For VirtualDub, trevlac made a nice intro page. But, I don't have the link here.

Toysoldier,
look to Simplesample source! Avisynth plugins is simpler than V.Dub.

To all.
Version 0.4, released July 17, 2004
Added chroma processing: modeY, modeU, modeV parameters,
introduced in version 0.4 after Ivo's request (old versions can process luma only).

I found this thread while I was looking for filters for my Star Trek DVDs, which have a lot of scratches, especially on the previews, which don't seem to have been cleaned up at all before encoding. Using DeScratch I was able to make small (but noticeable) improvements in the episodes and major improvements to the previews. Great filter!

Hi people
I have scratches in my video in the form of lines of different colours or distorted. I'm trying Fizick's DeScratch and I've looked for information on Fizick's web and tried the following configuration, it's the same as said on the web but I added asym=1 since the filter marked thicker lines that what I expected.
However, I'm still worried about the quantity of "noise" marked by the filter since I don't see any horizontal lines where nearly all marks are present...
Sincerely, I don't know where to start tweaking the parameters since I've read them all but have no idea. As a start I would like the filter not to detect as many horizontal scratches as it does now...
What values should I change??? Here I leave you a copy of my script

AviSource("C:\Ripeos\Cruz y raya\capture00.avi")
Trim(0,38467) ++ Trim(47733,66002)

#Fizick's DeSpot
loadplugin("C:\Archivos de programa\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\descratch.dll")
ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)
crop(0,0,-0,288) # select top part of frame to save screen space
input=last
assumetff()

separatefields() # for analog interlaced source
turnleft()
descratch(asym=1,mindif=4,maxgap=20,minlen=300,blurlen=50,keep=100,border=0,maxangle=0.0, mark=true, modeU=1, modeV=1)
turnright()
weave() # restore fields
# Compare source frame and frame after scratch removing
StackVertical(input,last)

And here an image with an example of what I mean by the filter marking too much:
