Anyone with good/calibrated display can comment? It's tricky if one can without knowing run debanding just because of deficiences of particular lcds...
Yes- I have Eizo monitor and see a lot of banding in image 1.
Debanding does a quite good job.

It is not mysterious that you praise this plugin.

I heard that the original author(AviUtl version) is a professional who is working in an authoring studio as you.

Totally missed this one, sample_mode=2 looks amazing.
Anything to watch out for concerning pre-x264-encode debanding?

I changed test image source for 1.0.2 version, the original image has less banding indeed. Forgot to mention this in OP, sorry.

By the way, I recently found a serious (stupid) bug in 1.0.2 that makes high threshold values useless. I will release a new version next week, along with SSE optimization for high precision mode.

I haven't done research for this, you may need to tweak parameters yourself.

flash3kyuu_deband in high precision mode has the job very well done, indeed. And it is fast. Congratulations to you and to the author of the original filter.

BTW, GradFun3 current default settings are a bit on the conservative side, therefore to get comparable results you should add mask=0 to your tests.

Thanks. I've added mask=0 to my scripts and uploaded new samples.

Thanks for your great work SAPikachu.

What abut YUY2 support?

There seams to be quite a lot work going on around dithering/debanding.

Is there a solution, which would dither 10bit (or higher) source to 8bit output?

As far as I understand this tool is for debanding and designed to remove existing banding on 8bit sources. What about dithering eg. v210 source- can it do this?


Andrew

YUY2 may be added in next version.

Actually, the high precision mode will upsample pixels to 14bit first, and downsample to 8bit after processing. Dithering occurs in downsampling. The dither algorithm are well-known ones (Floyd-Steinberg dithering and Ordered dithering). But since AviSynth does not support higher bit-depth natively, it may be difficult to import the video source. If it can be loaded, it shouldn't be very hard to add support for it.

There were some attemps to import v210 Qt into avisynth- not sure if it's working and compatible with your work.

OK, I will add a dither function in future version. You may also try cretindesalpes's dither tools, it has built-in dither function (DitherPost). It has some advanced dither algorithms that may be better than mine. Of course the data need to be restructured to meet its requirement.

As far as I know, ffdshow uses gradfun2dbmod, its quality is not very good and my filter should be better than it, but I don't have time to test them now. To be sure you can test them yourself.

For real time debanding, this filter is noticeably better than ffdshow's one, tried on several anime source. Thank you for sharing this SAPikachu.

I have used this filter in combination with MDegrain for several sources and I'm very happy with the results.

I also played around with the "diff_seed" parameter but can't really see any difference (apart from the fact that "diff_seed = true" is quite a bit slower). Do you have any more info on the usefulness of that parameter?
