Hi martin53!

Your script good work for me with small adjustments. One problem it is speed on my 4 core 2 thereaded CPU (8 virtual core) I see only speed near 8-10 fps for SD (720x576). Main reason is dither plugin or Stainless plugin? How can increase speed using MT. I find work version only with SetMTMode(5) before call Your script. May be can use avstp? How?
yup.

yup,
thank you that you use the script!

I will optimize a few things, e.g. parallelise the statistics with StainlessS' plugins and remove steps that can be avoided. Currently, the script needs up to three runtime environments; One might be obsolete and I will check how far the other two can be combined.
It was already a great help that the MYStats plugin was made and extended after I had asked for it, and I do of course hope that I can get more help of that kind in the future.

But especially when it comes to MT, I was out of luck every time I tried until now. You and everyone else are invited to understand the script - I commented every step with some short statements - and contribute speed optimizations.

Further to PM, What is RGBBalancedShift ?

I'm guessin that Gavino could sort the prob, bUt I cannot

OK. I tell a lot of porkies,
BUT, I think Gavino would be the first person to say that He is the one for predictions.

It is in the package in 1st post. In short, it does a RGBAdjust with normalized factors so the luma stays same.

In full it is more complicated to avoid clipping, be able to deal with YUV & RGB, be called from in-/outside RTE, reduce color banding ...

Gavino responded to the bug thread in the developer forum. Very kind!

Why do you turn these scripts not into a plugin?
for two reasons.

* I like prototyping in script language, and all users have a full chance to see what happens inside - and maybe improve it.

* I avoided to set up a plugin development environment till now. I am not unexperienced in C programming, but not accommodated to C++. And from reading some developer threads, I am a bit scared.

I also have the ulterior motive that one of the experienced plugin developers can't refuse to try it.

But to warn you: One part of the script is kinda 'academic' and easy to transer to C. But the fuzzy logic to deal with many real world illuminations is more a sort of to play with and gather experience than copy and compile. Let me just mention three situations I still struggle with:
- Frames showing sky and/or water only. These are blue but need to be distinguished from a scenery that suffers from a too high color temperature
- Closeups of face/body, vegetation, rock/gravel. These may be very biased towards different colours and should not be greyed out
- Clips that were taken at tungsten light typically still show white as the brightest colour because very bright orange can't be coded into the clip, or the sensor is saturated. It is neccessary to overdo the correction only for this situation and to the appropriate amount.

The three basic approaches I cited at thread start do not cope with such challenges. The script modifies 'Shades of Gray' with some additional rules and modified parameters, with an adaptive colour-local approach etc.

Dont be a scaredy cat M53.

Hope you've seen this thread in devs (Avisynth CPP Interface for C Programmers):
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163082

Once you've got the standard interface worked out, you can more of less forget CPP and just code C.

(Is easier than the C interface).

Hi martin53!
I try Your last script and find small bug .
1. Your define variable show after first use.
reduce = Default(reduce, show?1:3) # reduction factor for the stats clips
only after 6 lines I see
show = Default(show, false)
2. I get error at line
s = replace(replace(s, "--", "+"), "+-", "-")
I install Grunt, GScript, Mystats, RT_Stats.
Please advice.
yup.

Please change to
Code:
reduce = 1
I learned that it is better not to scale down the analysis frame, in order to leave the RGB relations of single bright pixels unchanged.

I also did a lot more of research, but was still not satisfied with the latest results, so I took a break and did not publish more recent test versions.
The hardest problem with my test clips is that with outdoor scenes, Max-RGB (also called white patch) is the best algorithm. But with indoor scenes, cameras over-expose lamps and show them as full white, while the scene itself is too warm. So, a means to detect this fundamental defect of the scene is needed - in order to switch between algorithms accordingly - and I could not yet find useful and reliable clip properties for that.

yup.
At Your script exist code starting from line 689
Code:
	s = "((x<128+"+D_POS+" ? (y<128+"+D_POS+" ? 1 : (0.43*((128-x-0.37+"+D_POS+")^1.08) + 0.38*(exp((128-x-0.37+"+D_POS+")*0.08)-1))/(y-128-"+D_POS+")-1) : ( y>127+"+D_POS+" ? 0 : 1-(x-128+0.18-"+D_POS+")^0.8/(128-y+"+D_POS+")) > 0) & (x<128+"+D_NEG+" ? (y<128+"+D_NEG+" ? 0 : 1-(0.43*((128-x-0.37+"+D_NEG+")^1.08) + 0.38*(exp((128-x-0.37+"+D_NEG+")*0.08)-1))/(y-128-"+D_NEG+")) : ( y>127+"+D_NEG+" ? 1 : (x-128+0.18-"+D_NEG+")^0.8/(128-y+"+D_NEG+")-1) > 0) & y-x<="+minTempUV+" & y-x>="+maxTempUV+") ? 255 : 0"
	s = replace(replace(s, "--", "+"), "+-", "-")
	s = mt_polish(s)
When i load script in VirtualDub I get error related to replace function. Which plugin have replace function?
yup.

Oops, I didn't notice this lacks in the script, it is part of my standard function library.
Replace() is a shortcut for StrReplace:
Code:
Function StrReplace(string s,string find,string replace) # Repeated, string replacements
# Original:- http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=147846&highlight=gscript           By Vampiredom, Gavino, IanB
#{i=s.FindStr(find)return(i==0?s: s.LeftStr(i-1)+replace+s.MidStr(Strlen(find)+i).StrReplace(find,replace))}
# Converted to use RT_Stats RT_StrAddStr() to avoid 2.58/2.6a3 string concatenation bug:-
{i=s.FindStr(find) return(i==0?s:RT_StrAddStr(s.LeftStr(i-1),RT_StrAddStr(replace,s.MidStr(Strlen(find)+i)).StrReplace(find,replace)))}
#=====================================================================================================================
Function Replace(string s,string find,string replace) { StrReplace(s, find, replace) }

m53, suggest convert to use rt_strreplace, is plugin, faster & no un-freeable temp strings created.

EDIT: Also can replace

Code:
s = replace(replace(s, "--", "+"), "+-", "-")
with

Code:
s = RT_StrReplaceMulti(s, "--"+Chr(10)+"+-" ,  "+"+Chr(10)+"-" )
but the Chr(10) separated multiline strings might best be constructed outside of ScriptClip/GScript rather than at each iteration.

Hi martin53!
After introduce show before first call and add replace function I get
Subtitle at frame
Code:
ScriptClip: Function did not return a video clip! (Was an int)
my script simple
Code:
AVISource("selbuild.avi")
s=AssumeTFF().Crop(16,12,-16,-12).ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true).SeparateFields().SelectEven()
AWB(s)
StackVertical(last,s)
Please explain.
yup.

Got the same error after making those small corrections needed to open the script. I'd like to give the function a shot on some VHS stuff I need to process

Check error reported in DebugView(Google) during catch(err).

@m53,

Suggestions:-

Drop MYStats, convert all to RT_Stats latest funcs.

Wrap Default(floatarg,floatnum) ---> Float(Default(floatarg,floatnum))
# If user supplied function arg as int var (Gavino Tip, avoid unintended int calcs).

Convert eg cR.MYPNorm() ---> RT_RgbChanStats(flgs=req_funcs,chan=-1)
# where same funcs called for R,G,and B channels, avoid conv to Y8 and multiple individual channel individual func calls.
# Guess that you are already doing that.

Convert eg Subtitle("#") ---> RT_Subtitle("#")
# faster but perhaps not necessary nor as pretty

Also see prev post.

DebugView shows this: [2896] RT_Debug: ScriptClip 3 ######## MYPlaneMin: Mask clip dissimilar dimensions.

M53, is there any reason you chose height >= 600 as rec709 switch as opposed to eg height > 576 ?

It is better than using RT_Stats default Width>720, shall change RT to same as yours.

EDIT:
The fault reported by Yup and Boulder, resides here:-
Code:
      cu = cYUV.UToY
      cv = cYUV.VToY

      Umin = MYPlaneMin(cu, cYUV, MaskMin=UVRANGE_CHECK_YMIN, MaskMax=255)
The debugview message "MYPlaneMin: Mask clip dissimilar dimensions." is issued by MYPlaneMin, (Throws the error)
cu and cv are quarter size (w/2,h/2) of mask when YV12.
If YV24 supplied to func then does not throw error but returns YV12 instead.

First, my apologies to all I did not answer earlier.
StainlessS, thanks for the suggestion. I copied the 600 threshold for the matrix somewhere, don't remember where. The future version on my HD is already mxRec = clp.width<=720?"Rec601":"Rec709". I agree that it is of advantage to be in line.

Luckily, I just read your post, because I was on the way to implement MYStats instead of MRGBStats because I hadn't seen that RT_Stats now includes all functions I need. Thanks you assembled everything together.

As for the bugs with the published script - it is difficult to keep up at the moment, because several things happened in parallel: the xxxStats functions grew better and were merged, I debugged the script and made it more robust, and I improved the algorithm. I can impossibly publish todays working version - it would cause too many questions and errors.

The most annoying and challenging issue is that consumer cameras depict warm white lamps as RGB=fully white, although the scene itself is balanced towards yellow. I.e. the white is heavily biased and unsuitable for AWB purposes. This has heavy impact because in almost every situation, the 'max RGB' alias 'White Patch' algorithm is the one which meets expectations best. In the meantime, I prepared three sets of reference clips with 'difficult' footage - and alas, the algorithm still produces inacceptable output with some scenes.

My proposal is that I'll concentrate on switching over to RT_Stats and provide a version that runs, and then continue with the improvements of the algorithm. Please have a few days more patience! Thanks!

EDIT: RT_Stats issue, see RT_Stats thread

Firesledge (aka Cretindesalpes) in dither.html:
Quote:
When the parameter is not defined, ITU-R BT.601 and ITU-R BT.709 are automatically selected depending on the clip definition (considered as HD if ≥ 600 lines).

For me, width>720 is a reasonable distinguishing mark for HD. I paid homage to Cretindesalpes' greater experience.
