Any resizers with anti-ringing?

Are there any plugins / filters for AVIsynth that have anti-ringing capability for resizing like madVR has? I know ResampleHQ has linear light capability, but no mention of anti-ringing. I searched around some but didn't find any mention of any.

or you can use any other resizer you want like this "xxxresize ().repair (gaussresize (p=100),mode=1)" which is basically the same as dither_resize16nr script

Okay, thanks I'll check out dither_resize16nr since I want to downscale and AFAIK nnedi3/eedi3 can't.

no, downscaling ringing is almost invisible, so using dither_resize16nr instead of dither_resize16 will only cause blur and other problems but gives you no good, it's only recommended to use non ringing resizer for upscaling

Oh... Good to know.

I was using this:
Code:
ResampleHQ(1280,720, "YV12", "TV.709", "TV.709", false, 0, 0, -0, -0 ,"CatmullRom")
flash3kyuu_deband(range=15, grainY=32, grainC=32, sample_mode=2, dither_algo=3, mt=false)
I think this is more or less the same thing using the dither package though I don't think Dither_resize16 scales in linear light...
Code:
Dither_convert_8_to_16()
Dither_resize16(1280, 720, 0, 0, -0, -0, kernel="bicubic", a1=0, a2=.5)
GradFun3(smode=1,lsb_in=true,lsb=true,debug=0)
DitherPost()
Or should I deband the source prior to scaling it since the final dither is the last step either way?

Perhaps this can also help with filter selection.

That was interesting. I hadn't seen it before.

yeah, you can achieve gamma aware resizing by using "Dither_y_gamma_to_linear" and "Dither_y_linear_to_gamma", dither_resize16 is not gamma aware

If I'm resizing in 16 bits do I need a linear light resizer?

you can use gamma aware resizing but it may give you ringing and aliasing for some unknown reasons
Code:
# 1920x1080 stacked 16bit input here #
dither_convert_yuv_to_rgb (lsb_in=true,output="rgb48y")
Dither_y_gamma_to_linear (curve="709")
dither_resize16 (1280,720)
Dither_y_linear_to_gamma (curve="709")
Dither_convert_rgb_to_yuv (SelectEvery (3, 0),SelectEvery (3, 1),SelectEvery (3, 2),lsb=true)
now your video is downscaled to 720p with gamma aware process

Interesting... I have noticed the aliasing with ResampleHQ. Especially when going from FHD to DVD. I didn't attribute it to gamma aware resizing though.

With gamma-aware resizing, ringing occurs on the dark part of a contrasted dark/light edge. The ringing exists without gamma awareness too, but it becomes more visible when resizing in a linear colorspace. The reason is exactly the same as for the preservation of stars in a night sky. Averaging pixels of different intensities in a gamma-compensated colorspace tends to darken the result.

On the other hand, the ringing is attenuated in the light part.

Anyway, the correct way to resize a Y’Cb’Cr’ picture in linear light is to convert it first in R’G’B’, then to RGB by linearizing each component. Then resize and do the inverse transform. Check this.

So it this correct then?
Code:
Dither_convert_8_to_16()
GradFun3(radius=15, smode=1, lsb_in=true, lsb=true, debug=0)
dither_convert_yuv_to_rgb (lsb_in=true, output="rgb48y")
Dither_y_gamma_to_linear (curve="709", tv_range_in=false, tv_range_out=false, u=1, v=1)
Dither_resize16(1280, 720, 2, 2, -6, -2, kernel="bicubic", a1=0, a2=.5, u=1, v=1)
Dither_y_linear_to_gamma (curve="709", 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=true)
DitherPost(mode=0)
Why do I want tv_range_in = false?

oh, my omission, sure u should set "tv_range_in=false, tv_range_out=false"
coz it works on RGB mode which means full range

This raises a question...
Which curve is the correct one to use in linear <-> gamma conversions if we're working with stacked RGB originating from standard 8 bit YCbCr (like YV12)?
I noticed you guys use curve="709" while in cretindesalpes' example there is no curve specified which means it defaults to "sRGB".

the transfer characteristics (curves) for dvd and hdtv are both bt709, and bt2020 for uhdtv

Well, yes, I know. But after we convert YV12 to RGB... doesn't that change the transfer curve to sRGB?
I thought 601 and 709 (and BT.2020) exist only in YCbCr land, not RGB.

By the way, the transfer characteristics for DVD are definitely not 709 but 601 like pretty much all SD sources.

bt601 and bt709 are exactly the same curve, transfer characteristic and matrix are 2 different things!

OK, true, it also says it in the dither documentation. However this doesn't answer my question whether the transfer characteristics change to sRGB or not if we convert a source with 709 transfer characteristics to RGB.
