Delogo (deblend problem)

[color]

LINK TO SHORT VIDEO + BMP I USE:
https://sprend.com/download?C=7c82ee2ff2aa411eb45cf27ddd9bf894

I use bmp as Analys and DeBlend
I do use "Sample input" as "All frames - slowest, but most accurate".
I do try changing "DeBlend shift" but nothing works. I have looked in gimp and the text is not 100% white and some "data/image" is behind.

Something else I can do with DeLogo to get it better or is it only "Repair" that works? (looks aweful)

Also. I was thinking is it possible to create a image with alpha and only dark/black color and somehow use it in a transparent to darken the logo so its not visible?

Do you use InpantDelogo??

Never heard of InpantDelogo, I use this (https://delogo-filter-for-virtualdub.en.softonic.com/).

Is it this you mean? https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176860

It seems like InpaintDelogo only blur together the edges not deblend?

EDIT: I saw it has some other options as well. I only get "Incorrect Loc". So don't know what I am doing wrong.

But in the first sentence it says that it does deblending.
Where you got "only blur together the edges" impression?

Btw, Vdub Delogo is outdated.

Probably that's because you didn't set Loc coords, that's crop where logo is (leave 10-20 pxs borders around logo).

And edit your bmp, red pixels to full white.

"I don't know what 'coords' means"

[kedautinh12]

You need set values with Loc. First, you need use InpaintLoc() to choose coords around Logo. Second use InpaintDelogo() to make Logo and delogo. Examples:
https://github.com/Purfview/InpaintDelogo/blob/7d6af71cda7ce493ddfc5f904b9f2548b3138e28/InpaintDelogo.avsi#L196

Coords is short form of coordinates, I meant set coords of your logo to Loc parameter.

For your sample it's:
InpaintDelogo( mask="C:\1.bmp", Loc="1388,944,-280,-24", Mode="Deblend" )

or like this if you want:

coords = "1388,944,-280,-24"
InpaintDelogo( mask="C:\1.bmp", Loc=coords, Mode="Deblend" )

Use Crop(1388,944,-280,-24) to see what those coords means.

Btw, never use "DirectShowSource" filter, it's outdated too.

Oh, now I get it, "location" for the logo. I thought it ment it is creating data from the mask. (thanks for having patient with me, my english is not so great)

I do get this error now. Still a bit unshour what is wrong, I have checked so all the required plugins are up to date as well. Or have I missed something?

EDIT: I use latest Avisynt+

What is "LSMASHSource2", I've never heard of it?
Try to use normal "LWLibavVideoSource" instead. [Delete the "txt" files created for your mask before doing so]

function LSmashSource2(string path, int "atrack",

{
atrack = Default(atrack, -1)
fpsnum = Default(fpsnum, 0)
fpsden = Default(fpsden, 1)
cache = Default(cache, true)

format = Default(format, "")

video = LWLibavVideoSource(path,

\ cache=cache)
return (atrack==-2) ? video: AudioDub(video,
\ LWLibavAudioSource(path, stream_index=atrack, cache=cache))
}

I got recommended to use this a while ago instead or DSS2.

Oh, I did delete the txt. But now It says "mask is empty". Am I using wrong color?

I think you need use white color with this logo or you can create .bmp mask automatically with automask=1, after you use this mask with automask=0

Now I see that it's still red. I saw your first post, that's why in 6th post (https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1978852) I wrote that you need to change red to full white.

Btw, InpaintDelogo has automatic mask creation feature, you can activate it like this:


InpaintDelogo( mask="C:\automask.bmp", Loc="1388,944,-280,-24", Mode="Deblend", Automask=1)


This will only create a basemask [bmp], after you got it remove "Automask" to continue with delogo.

Oh, now something did happen! It was white color not red (I thought it was like virtualdub delogo it uses red, but white worked a lot better). I don't get it to work great, I will try creating a automatically mask instead. It seems like it would work better.

You need upload result samples. Mr. VX, author's InpaintDelogo will help you to make results better :D

If your logo don't appear in all clip, you can trim only frame have logo appear. After join frame no logo and frame have logo in one

Its only first 270 frames is not vissible so I have used trim(270,11579).

What works "best" on some frames are "Inpaint" and "blend" on some. But Inpaint does look off on some frames.

First looks great, but other two, not so much.

https://i.ibb.co/zfP9R08/radera.png (https://imgbb.com/)

I think I should use different and trim and use what works best for every scen instead as you say. I don't think it will work great on all scenes.

[kedautinh12]

With Inpant mode you can try with turbo=-1 and with Deblend you can try some values with IntSpd, Interp, dPP

[kedautinh12]

Or you can try with automask will be better with Analyze

Share the full video of that logo, encode with lossless x264 this script:

turbo=-1 did a much better job! I also tried IntSpd, Interp, dPP, but I don't see any difference between the 1-3 value for each also tried all three with deblend.

Or you can try with automask will be better with Analyze

I did use automask. I used my own first but I saw automask did a better jobb.

Looks like video is too low quality to deblend this logo, you've to use inpaint to delogo:
InpaintDelogo(mask="C:\1.bmp", Loc="1388,944,-280,-24", Mode="Inpaint", Turbo=-1)

Btw, logo has fade in/out animations, so you don't want to analyze such frames for deblend.

Oh, i have not noticed more than the beginning.

Well its the highest quality on the image I got and no other source are available. Do you mean it does fade in and out in the video or do you mean in the beginning only?

I think I do a mix in that case.

Edit: mode "both" did work good on some frames "inpaint" and "deblend" did do bad.

Inpaint work better with solid logo or dynamic logo (fade in, fade out). Deblend work better with transparent logo. You use mode both when your logo has transparent and solid

Oh so it flips between solid and transparent. That I did not notice at all. I will still mix, i have exported inpaint, deblend and both, so i go through frame by frame and use whats best. (Exported to png).

[VoodooFX]

How fade out can be at the beginning? Of course it's at the end.

Yes, maybe Deblend can look better at some few random frames/scenes.

Edit: mode "both" did work good on some frames "inpaint" and "deblend" did do bad.
It's illusion, you just don't understand what is going on in "Both". :)
Don't use it here.

Can you share your ebmp file and the frame numbers where you think that Deblend or Both looks better for you?

Yes, frame 4011. top "inpaint" bottom "both"

EDIT: I might have used another setting and not same on both like turbo...

Yes, frame 4011
