Colour stabilisation

Here's a YV12 filter I recently built on request from one thrash_sensei... the idea and method are his:

http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/mg262/po...sk_11Sep05.dll

ColourMask(clip, int y, int u, int v, int lumathreshold, int chromathreshold)
returns a mask of those pixels whose colour is near (y,u,v), where nearness is defined by lumathreshold and chromathreshold. Chroma of the returned clip is nonsense.

ColourStabilise(clip, int y, int u, int v, int lumathreshold, int chromathreshold)
Replaces pixels whose colour is near (y,u,v) with colour (y,u,v), where nearness is defined by lumathreshold and chromathreshold. (Chroma subsampling is treated sensibly.)

RGBColourStabilise(clip, int colour, int lumathreshold, int chromathreshold)
Just like ColourStabilise but takes the colour as a RGB hex value. ( Rec.601 conversion ).

I think this is meant to be used on a scene by scene basis... I haven't tried this filter above and beyond making sure it was working correctly. Ask if you want the source or any technical details.

hey cool! i was thinking last night of muddling something like this together using tweak and vtoy,utoy, but a plugin is always welcome

thrash_sensei did actually make a script to do this, but it ran at 13 FPS, which is why I made the plug-in -- which he measured at about 300 FPS (though it could probably be made faster if there were any point).

I'm not masochistic enough to go through scene by scene fixing up colours like this... actually, I did at one point try to use the fact that the foreground is typically drawn with a limited palette to separate foreground and background, but it didn't work too well... I always ended up picking up a reasonable amount of background. On the other hand the material I work with is very much noisier than what most of you seem to be playing with...
