NAME

yuvycsnoise - Noise filter specialized for NTSC Y/C separation noise

SYNOPSIS

yuvycsnoise [-t] [-m t|b|i|c] [-S MIN] [-T ERRT[,MAXT]] [-B ERRB[,MAXB]] [-I ERRI[,MAXI]] [-C ERRC[,MAXC]]

DESCRIPTION

If video capture hardware has only a poor Y/C separator, at vertical stripe (especially red/blue), noises appear which seem checker flag and bright/dark invert per 1 frame. yuvycsnoise reduces noises of this type.

OPTIONS

yuvycsnoise accepts the following options:

-t

test. Instead of noise reduction, noises will be marked as black pixel.

-m METHOD

(default: tbic).
Select method. METHOD is string in which each character mean method.
t: 'triframe' method of luma noise reduction.
b: 'biframe' method of luma noise reduction.
i: 'infield' method of luma noise reduction.
c: chroma noise reduction. use 3 frames as 'triframe'.

-S MIN

(default: 4).
Set minimum threshold of luma/chroma difference which is treated as noise.

-T ERRT[,MAXT]

(default: 32,255).

-B ERRB[,MAXB]

(default: 32,255).

-I ERRI[,MAXI]

(default: 16,255).

-C ERRC[,MAXC]

(default: 12,255).
Set threshold of luma/chroma difference of each methods. ERRx is maximum error of luma/chroma of pixels around target pixel, which should be same if target contain noise. MAXx is maximum threshold of luma/chroma difference of target pixel from luma/chroma after noise reduced.
