Enhancing and DeLogo...

[joshbm]

I have attempted at using DeLogo to get rid of this logo. It didn't go over very well. I used the method Didee talked about with AVISynth script etc. I also would like to know is there anyway of enhancing this clip (clearity, maybe using Anime filters to darken/define lines, etc?).

For the colleagues on the German Doom9 Board, I've made a guide for DeLogo+AviSynth some time back. If you can read German, get the PDF (http://forum.gleitz.info/attachment.php?attachmentid=70679). It contains (almost ;) ) everything needed for close-to-perfect removal of logos with transparency.
However if you can't read German, it's pretty useless ...

Enhancement of that source surely is possible ... but animation is not my playground.

Thanks for the reply Didee!

Is there any remote possibility of translating that guide to english ;)? I figured the source could be enhanced, because I didn't think it was that bad of a source-- I personally have just never done animaton.

Yes, of course. It's only a matter of time - perhaps this year, perhaps next year ...

Haha... ugh, anyone want to help me with enhancing the picture?

I took a stab in the dark at enhancing it... I think it looks pretty good:

What do you think? Any suggestions, improvements? Here is my script:


LoadPlugin("J:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\oldplugins\LoadPluginEx2.dll")
LoadPlugin("J:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\oldplugins\aWarpSharp.dll")
LoadPlugin("J:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\oldplugins\warpsharp.dll")

ImportPlugin("mfToon-v0.32.avs")

DirectShowSource("L:\Processing\bff.avi")

tweak(sat=1.2)
ColorYuv(levels="TV->PC")
Levels(20,1.0,255,0,255)

ConvertToYUY2()

Crop(0,21,-0,-22).Lanczos4Resize(720,480)

ChromaShift(C=-2,L=2)
Convolution3d (preset="animeHQ")

ConvertToYV12()

TrimTime("32:20","21:29:16")

UnDot().UnDot()
deen("a2d",2,5,5)
deen("a3d",1,5,5)

#a=last.FastLineDarken(strength=100)

mfToon()
LimitedSharpen(ss_x=2.0,ss_y=2.0,overshoot=7,strength=100)

#MergeLuma(a,.5)


Also I really, really would like to remove that logo :p.
