HybridFuPP 0.92b (26th March 2005)

FuPP · 26th March 2005, 23:16

For those who remember

:

This Avisynth script enables both resizing and filtering. Distinct filters can be applied on the different parts of a same picture (edges, static areas, motion, dark and bright areas) : HybridFuPP is a kind of adaptive processor, allowing picture cleaning and compressibility gain.

Main idea consists in filtering strongly the less visible parts of the picture, and very softly the more visible ones. HybridFuPP uses masks to detect areas to process.

Standard processings proposed are : resizing (5 possibilities), static areas denoising, motion denoising, dark and bright areas denoising, chroma denoising (U and V channels), edges sharpening or softening (distinct horizontal and vertical settings), edges brightness control, deringing (removing artefacts around edges) and deblocking (removing blocks effects generated by mpeg compression).

Though HybridFuPP has been designed first to process rather clean materials, filtering package used is flexible and powerful enough to use it with noisy material too (depending on noise type) : increasing default settings could be though required.

HybridFuPP is provided with some presets, allowing beginners to use the script easily and other people to use these presets as basis for their explorations. Moreover, HybridFuPP allows users to define their own processing chains. Lot of things become then possible !

Download HybridFuPP 0.92b

Changelog from 0.882b :

0.92b
2 modes are available for motion precessing : motion compensated temporal denoising, or spatial denoising. Spatial denoising (default) is faster, but quality is a bit lower.
MM_Type parameter removed (motion mask type)
Two edges mask modes (parameter EM_Mode) : 1 is rather for films, 2 for animes
New deringing processing
Deblocking mode added (parameters Deblock, DB_Q, DB_Off_a and DB_Off_b)
Dark areas processing has been modified
Bright areas processing has been inactivated by default in all presets
New parameters S_Str et T_Str manage now distinctively spatial and temporal filtering strength (parameter ST_Str has been removed) for static areas
In order to get better efficiency when denoising static areas, 2 new parameters have been added : S_Radius and S_Dist. The first one is related to filtering radius, and the second one influences spatial filtering threshold (The weaker, the more edges are preserved)
New parameter E_Str_B : edges brightness
New parameter Fast (true / false). When True, dark areas, lit areas and motion (only if MP_Mode = 2) masks are computed from an already denoised and resized picture (enabling HybridFuPP to save time). If False, these masks are computed from a simply resized picture
2 new presets : anime1 and anime2
New preset HybridQ that allows sharp edges while maintaining good compressibility
Parameter L_Thr has been renamed in B_Thr
New parameters available for 'Show' : “R” (displays areas that will be deringed) and “P” (displays all the parameters used)
Be careful : range of valid values have been modified for a few parameters. Please have a look on the documentation above.

Thanks, Fupp.

I've used you're previous versions on occasion when it fitted the problem.

Thankyou for your work; I appreciate it.

Didée · 27th March 2005, 16:16

Very nice implementation, and the docu as well.

Oh, and happily I hand over the challenge cup for the script-with-most-parameters

Thanks both for kind words

Why is it that I get error while opening with winzip? I am unable to try this.

Here are a few examples on how to use HybridFuPP :

Code:

MpegSource("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
HybridFuPP()

no resizing, HybridFuPP uses his default preset (ie "High")

Code:

MpegSource("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
HybridFuPP(preset="High")

Is the same than previous example !

Code:

MpegSource("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
HybridFuPP(640, 464)

resizing 640x464, using default preset High

Code:

MpegSource("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
HybridFuPP(448, 320, preset="medium", resizer = 5, E_Str_X= 40, E_Str_Y = 10)

resizing 448x320, using default preset medium. Resizing algorithm is forced to 5, ie Lanczosresize. Edges are oversharpened, but more horizontally than vertically (useful for svcds for instance)

Code:

Mpeg2Source("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
Crop(8,80,-8,-80)
HybridFuPP(720, 288, preset = "very high", dering = true)
letterbox(0,0,16,16)

This example is more complete, using crop and letterbox. Deringing has been activated in HybridFuPP's command line.

Code:

Mpeg2Source("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
GripCrop(480, 576, overscan = 2, source_anamorphic=true, dest_anamorphic=true) 
HybridFuPP(preset = "very high", width = GripFit_resize_width, height = GripFit_resize_height)
GripBorders()

For those who use GripFit(), you may want to use GripFit_resize_width and GripFit_resize_height variables to define width and height. These variables are initialized by GripCrop()

Code:

mpeg2source("c:\test\test.d2v",idct=6)
fielddeinterlace(blend=false,full=false,dthreshold=3)
HybridFuPP(720, 288, preset = "very high")
letterbox(0,0,16,16)

in this example, picture is deinterlaced. One will notice that deinterlacing is done before using HybridFuPP

Code:

HybridFuPP(448, 320, preset = "very high", M="", LP = "" )

in this example, motion processing is disactivated (M=""), dark and bright areas processing too (LP="")

Code:

HybridFuPP( 448, 320, preset="medium", deblock=true, dering=true, DR_Radius=3, show="ERDP")

Here, deblocking and deringing are activated (deringing radius is forced to 3) ; Edges mask (E), Dering mask (R), and Dark areas mask (D) are dispayed to screen. Parameters (P) are shown too

Code:

HybridFuPP(640,480,preset="medium",N2="deen()",Dering=true,DR= """BlindPP(quant= 2,cpu2="xxxxxx",moderate_h=40,moderate_v=80)""")

in this advanced example, some HybridFuPP's processing chains N2 and DR (ie respectively static areas processing and deringing) are forced with other filtering definitions

i like very much this "Resizer".

i use it only with the default parameter (till now) so my script end with something like hybridfupp(640,480)

my movie gain a good compressibility and a very pleasure visive appeal.

now the questions:

1)i suppose you have done several test with full film, so how % in size this resizer could gain respest a pure resizer as bicubic/lanzcos... ?
( from my test think between 5%-15%, from simpleresize to lanzcos)

2)how this "resizer" (very riductive word for this script) is comparable with QMF ?

thanks

winrar isn't free, that's true; but shareware.
There is a free unrar progz and rarlab.

First of all, HybridFuPP is not a resizer. It uses resizing functions among some other functions, like noise filters.

1/ depending on the source and presets (or manual settings), gains vary from 5% to 27 % (27% : using preset very low + deblocking + deringing) : tests done using xvid defaults (except matrice : mpeg), target quant=2

2/ the main difference between QMF and HybridFuPP consists in motion detection. QMF tries to detect if a whole frame contains motion or not comparing 2 consecutive frames. If differences between the two frames are more than a defined threshold, QMF considers that the whole frame is motion. Then it blurs the whole frame.

HybridFuPP works differently. It analyses the different parts of a same frame and detects areas in motion. It applies spatial (or temporal motion compensated filtering when using parameter MP_Mode=1) to these areas only. In static areas of the frame, HybridFuPP applies a spatio-temporal filtering. That means that for frames containing motion, quality is preserved in spite of filtering.

Moreover, HybridFuPP allows things that QMF does not, like dark or bright areas filtering, edges enhancement, deblocking, deringing...

don't blame me.. but HybridFuPP is my preferred "res...r" !
no need for other noiser/denoiser/sharpner... just hybridFupp !

I think free http://www.7-zip.org ( with file manager)
can read RARs too.

It's not free but you can use it as long as you like and it still works the same.

Hi,

I tried to use HybridFuPP with DVD-RB with HCEncoder. All I get is an error message: Invalid arguments to function "Deen". I am calling function HybridFupp with: HybridFupp(preset = "very high"). Any help will be appreciated.

AGKnotUser · 14th June 2006, 04:00

Nevermind! Found the problem: I was using Deen beta 2 instead of Deen Beta 1.

AGKnotUser · 14th June 2006, 06:46

Any other way to download the package? The link at the top has been broken for days...

techmule · 29th August 2006, 12:54

The links started working again but any new developments ??? any user experiences with this filter, settings etc.
