A new yuvdenoise has been checked into CVS, and I haven't examined it to see how it works, but the old yuvdenoise was mostly capable of numerical conditioning. Even though it did its search in terms of 8x8 blocks, that was enough to help mpeg2enc's motion search, which is in terms of 16x16 blocks. The problem with using the old yuvdenoise for numerical conditioning was that it had a lot of other denoising concepts thrown in there. You would have to turn off the pass-2 bit-noise reduction and the between-frame averaging ("-l 1 -p 0", I think) to do it right. y4mdenoise, on the other hand, can definitely be used for numerical conditioning. All the complexity of y4mdenoise is basically in the motion-searching part. Once it's identified parts of the new frame that match parts of the previous frame, it averages the two parts together, thus giving them the same value. That's a relatively light-handed treatment. >Is there any way to denoise the chroma channel, >and have the denoise strength depend on the luma >channel? I'm not sure what you mean here. Could you expand upon it please? Maybe an example? Steven Boswell ulatekh at yahoo dot com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
