SpotLess - Temporal denoise

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Please, does anyone have any information on DPIRdeblock? I was easily able to find TemporalDegrain2 and CAS, but have had no luck finding DPIRdeblock. Thanks for any help.

[coolgit]

THis ??

Both vapoursynth i think

Thanks, coolgit, the first link, for DPIR, seems to be what I was looking for. Unfortunately you're right and it's for Vapoursynth. Do you happen to know of a similar filter-plugin for AviSynth?

[StvG]

DPIR can be used with avs-mlrt - https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/tree/main/scripts

You can use staxrip then put the dpir in vapoursynth in plugin folder. Should work.

Thanks for that, StvG. After some effort, I'm to the point where the script

ConvertToPlanarRGB()
ConvertBits(Bits=32)
mlrt_DPIR(Model=3)

run with VirtualDub2 gives me the error "There is no function named 'mlrt_ncnn'.". After more effort, I realized that your link only has the sources, but I can't build the mlrt_ncnn.dll (or mlrt_ort.dll or mlrt_ov.dll) because I'm running Win 7. Any idea where I can find these .dll's (I've searched many ways without success...)?

[Emulgator]

These are found in Asd-g repos.
https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/releases/tag/r63
Ah, just saw it, in #304 StvG mentioned it already...

For e.g., the requirements of mlrt_DPIR (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/blob/main/scripts/mlrt_DPIR.avsi#L5-L7):
- mlrt_common.avsi (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/tree/main/scripts)
- avs-mlrt - this is a group of ML (machine learning) filters for avs. It contains mlrt_ncnn, mlrt_ov and mlrt_ort. Info here (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt?tab=readme-ov-file#filters). They can be downloaded from here (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/releases). Make sure to read README of every filter because some of them have additional requirements.

StvG: Thanks--again--for your help; and, thanks for giving me just enough information to not only make progress but actually have to apply myself to do so. I struggle with GitHub because it's in a foreign language, at least to me. Would you be willing to post a default mlrt_DPIR call so I can have a better idea of what I'm missing? I don't speak computer, but often I'm able to reverse engineer something. Thanks.

I already did all this, but I think that my GPU(s) are too old to support Vulkan (which would explain the error message "Avisynth open failure: mlrt_ncnn: get_gpu_device failed".

Put mlrt_DPIR.avsi, mlrt_common.avsi, mlrt_ncnn.dll and the folder "models" in your plugins folder.

I already did this.

I wish I could afford a new computer, ha ha. Any thoughts on a standard AviSynth plugin-filter that would be similar to mlrt_DPIR?

[coolgit]

If your GPU too old then try staxrip.

Staxrip can do both avisynth and vapoursynth. Just an idea.

Ahhh, right, I remember your earlier post. Thanks for the thought, I'll see if I can sort it out :) .

Thank you. I seem to be making progress, but I'm still not quite there. After putting the open_vino.dll, the tbb12.dll, and onnxruntime.dll in my Plugins folder, and all the other openvino_.dlls. and the "gna".dll in my "SysWOW64" folder I'm down to a single VirtualDub2 error message:

VirtualDub2: VirtualDub64.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

before the AviSynth error message:

Avisynth open failure: mlrt_ov: [IE Exception] ReadNetwork(): [ NETWORK_NOT_READ ]: Unable to read the model. Please check if the model format is supported and model is correct.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

I wondered about that, so I tried that some time after my post (I forgot to edit it, sorry), but the error messages are the same. Ahhh, the script is

Do you have folder "models" next to mlrt_ov.dll? https://i.ibb.co/CsGKkDj/Untitled1.png

[kedautinh12]

64 bit plugins must be in the System32 folder and 32 bit plugins must be in the SysWOW64 folder. Don't ask me why, ask Microsoft :D

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Do you have folder "models" next to mlrt_ov.dll? https://i.ibb.co/CsGKkDj/Untitled1.png

Yes, the "models" folder (with the subfolder "dpir") is in my Plugins folder. For whatever reason, when I upgraded to AviSynth+ a couple years ago, the plugins in my "AviSynth 2.5/Plugins" folder still worked, so I never put any plugins in the (then) new folder "AviSynth+/plugins64" or "AviSynth+/plugins64+" folders.

So, I just tried copying all my plugins (and the "model" folder) to both of those folders, but the error messages are the same. I'm not sure what's wrong, but why did adding the gna.dll and all the openvino_"whatever".dlls to PATH make VirtualDub2 throw an error message?

Ahhh, I just tested a script I know works with VirtualDub2, and after the initial "KERNEL32.dll" error message, it seems to load fine...

64 bit plugins must be in the System32 folder and 32 bit plugins must be in the SysWOW64 folder. Don't ask me why, ask Microsoft :D

I'd certainly like a bit of time alone with Bill Gates, ha ha.

[StvG]

Avisynth open failure: mlrt_ov: [IE Exception] ReadNetwork(): [ NETWORK_NOT_READ ]: Unable to read the model. Please check if the model format is supported and model is correct.

Ok, I reproduced the error when I remove openvino_onnx_frontend.dll. Make sure you have this file in the path (in your case System32).

avs-mlrt is 64-bit only - meaning the avs 64-bit chain must be used (64-bit previewer, 64-bit plugins, plugins64/plugins64+ auto loading folders, System32 is part of the 64-bit system path).

So mlrt_ov.dll 1.0.2 must be in plugins64 or plugins64+ (unless is loaded manually with LoadPlugin). The files (all of them) from openvino_dll.7z if placed in system path, they must be in System32.
Also don't mix openvino_dll.7z from one release version with mlrt_ov from other release version (no the case here but mentioning it just for info).

I triple-checked; openvino_onnx_frontend.dll is in my C:/Windows/System32 folder (along with all the other openvino_.dlls {including openvino.dll}, the gna.dll, the onnxruntime.dll, and the tbb12.dll).

I'm loading it manually, which has changed things (see below).

Thank you for remembering this; I'm sorry I forgot.


After manually loading the mlrt_ov.dll, I still receive the VD2 KERNEL32.dll error message--maybe not necessarily related to mlrt since it appears for scripts that didn't have an error message before beginning the current process--but after acknowledging the error message VD2 actually opens, but the screen looks like an LSD flashback with purples and greens that look more like a spectrum meter of some kind.

[Emulgator]

Repeated this here: VD2's (build 44282) DIB decoder indeed chokes on Y32.
I have the script extended with
BlankClip(Pixel_Type="Y32").Subtitle("This is Reptttuunnioern !", size=30, align=5)
and get rendered a pink/green LSB Plane while AvsPmod Preview behaves correct.

If the script is extended with
ConvertBits(10) at the end: VD's DIB decoder sees [0][0][0][0], the result is rendered top-down, and Cyan instead of white.
ConvertBits(8) at the end: VD's DIB decoder sees Y800, this is rendered as expected.

(Note to self: Maybe I should move on to AvsPmod and finally get behind making my own encoder presets there.
Tools -> Script Encoder (CLI)
Here is one for the now ubiquituous ProRes HQ apch 10bit
Add these two lines into ffmpeg.presets
[ProRes HQ apch 10bit]
ffmpeg.exe -i "$video_input" -c:v prores -profile:v 3 -vf "format=yuv422p, setsar=sar=$par_x/$par_y" -c:a pcm_s16le "$video_output".mov

[StvG]

I triple-checked; openvino_onnx_frontend.dll is in my C:/Windows/System32 folder (along with all the other openvino_.dlls {including openvino.dll}, the gna.dll, the onnxruntime.dll, and the tbb12.dll).

Do you pass the CPU system requirements from here (https://docs.openvino.ai/2023.3/system_requirements.html)?
If you pass them (the requirements) download Dependencies_x64_Release.zip (https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases), open DependenciesGui.exe, drag and drop openvino_onnx_frontend.dll and share a screenshot of the window.

Skylake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylake_(microarchitecture)) is the minimum CPU that is officially supported.

Maybe you can have luck with mlrt_ort (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/tree/main/mlrt_ort) (mlrt_DPIR(Backend="ort")).

[LouieChuckyMerry]

StvG: Many thanks for your continued help. I'm trying to use mlrt_ort, but after trying to understand the readme

For mlrt_ort(provider="cpu") - only onnxruntime_dll.7z is needed.
For mlrt_ort(provider="dml") - onnxruntime_dll.7z and dml_dll.7z are needed.
For mlrt_ort(provider="cuda") - onnxruntime_dll.7z and cuda_dll.7z are needed.
For all providers (mlrt_ort(provider="cpu/dml/cuda")) - onnxruntime_dll.7z, dml_dll.7z and cuda_dll.7z are needed.

(honestly, that's confusing, but all the .dlls from the three .7z files are in the mlrt_ort_rt folder) I'm having trouble with my script. I'm manually loading mlrt_ort.dll, and after the usual VD2 KERNEL32.dll error message, the script

BlankClip(Pixel_Type="Y32")
mlrt_DPIR(Backend="ort")

results in the error message

Avisynth open failure:
mlrt_ort: failed loading "Path"/.../mlrt_ort_rt/onnxruntime.dll (the "mlrt_ort_rt" folder is in the same folder as the mlrt_ort.dll).

and, the script

BlankClip(Pixel_Type="Y32")
mlrt_DPIR(Backend="ort"(Provider="cpu"))

results in the error message

Avisynth open failure:
Script error: 'string' cannot be called. Give me a function!

It's probably a simple solution, I just can't figure it out.

[anton_foy]

BlankClip(Pixel_Type="Y32")
mlrt_DPIR(Backend="ort", Provider="cpu")
Should it be like this?

EDIT: misread and edited.

Backend (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/blob/main/scripts/mlrt_DPIR.avsi#L39-L42) parameter must be either string or array.
The correct syntax is:
BlankClip(Pixel_Type="Y32")
mlrt_DPIR(Backend=["ort", """provider="cpu" """])

Btw CPU is the default provider for mlrt_ort.

Edit: You can try mlrt_ov 1.0.1 (https://github.com/Asd-g/avs-mlrt/releases/tag/r36) (make sure to download the corresponding openvino_dll.7z too). It uses older OpenVINO version than the latest mlrt_ov so it could work on your CPU.

D'oh! And thank you very much for the effort, StvG, I really appreciate it. Two questions:

1) Any idea why I'm now receiving the KERNEL32.dll error in VD2, even with scripts that I know are (well, were) OK before I started playing with mlrt?

2) Any suggestion for a good DeBlock plugin-filter for AviSynth?

Dogway has a collection of deblockers in his script package. A simple (and fast) Deblock_QED might already be enough for most purposes.

In addition to his suggestion about the Dogway collection there is a section External plugins (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters)->Deblocking (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters#Deblocking) on the front page of the wiki (http://avisynth.nl). Test the more popular filters and decide which fits best in your case.

FTLOY: I use portable x64 MeGUI with the latest AviSynth+ (which autoloads most plugins-filters). As for dependencies, I use a search engine with "avisynth+ whateverplugin-filter" then head to the wiki or github page and reverse engineer it after reading the page (wiki) or readme (github) to learn the required dependencies, and if necessary I post here and plea for help from the geniuses. I'm a plodder, not a savant. Probably not the most efficient method, but it works for my limited knowledge of AviSynth.

Fair enough, whatever works for you that's good enough.

That script I posted actually works, but it doesn't get rid of the little black artifacts like your sample clip did, so not really sure, maybe I need to experiment with your app.
:thanks:

The little black dots are what SpotLess removes. Maybe try the script

SpotLess()

and check the results, then dig deeper.

Thanks Louie, just running SpotLess(video) made all the difference, and default settings seems to be good enough. :)

Hello, I'm trying to use spotless to clean some scenes but using it by default it ends affecting the image in some parts (it generate distortion in the image), I tried playing a little with some settings but couldn't get any better (probably because I not understand very well what I'm doing). I uploaded a sample of the scene, any help will be greatly appreciated.
