VirtualDub MSU OldCinema Filter 2.0

MSU Graphics & Media Lab (Video Group)

Algorithm: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin
Implementation: Vladimir Popov, Nikolai Trunichkin

This filter is intended to achieve an "Old cinema" effect. You can vary color correction algorithm and add various artifacts, so video looks like "chronicle".

 

Features

  • Several color correction types
  • Vertical Stripes
  • Small and large noise
  • Emulsion exfolication effect

 

Changes in version 2.0

  • Improved vertical scratch generation algorithm
  • Added large spots generation algotithm
  • Added new color correction algorithms
  • Improved spots: black and white, and various sizes
  • Added image flicking

 

Settings

Filter has simple and advanced settings:

Âíåøíèé âèä ôèëüòðà

Filter supports VirtualDub job control, so it is usable in AviSynth. Example:

LoadVirtualDubPlugin("..\VirtualDub\plugins\MSU Old cinema.vdf","Old_cinema", 0)
clip=AVISource("D:\work\video\film.avi", false, "RGB24")
return clip.ConvertToRGB32.Old_cinema(247, 223, 181, 0, 1, 10, 10, 15, 70, 3, 20, 5, 50, 150, 0, 1, 100)

 

Filter parameters

Parameters filter

Filter parameters:

  • 16. Color correction
    No Changes - there is no color correction
    Manual Linear - linear transform from color to black&white video
    1. Red - Correct red color
    2. Green - Correct green color
    3. Blue - Correction Blue parameter
    Yellow Shift - colors are faded to yellow
    Blue Shift - colors are faded to blue
  • Fade effect
    4. True/False activate effect transfer from "Color cinema" to "Old cinema"
    5. If True then we transfer from "Color cinema" to "Old cinema", if False then transfer from "Old cinema" to "Color cinema"
    6. Start frame number
    7. Duration of transfer (in frames)
  • Roller`s track
    8. Number of tracks
    9. Clarity tracks
  • Scratch settings
    10. Number of scratches
    11. Probability of scratch
    12. How many frames scratch will be shown
    13. Clearness of scratch
    17. Scratch thickness
  • Border fade
    14. Shape of ellipse. If this parameter is greater, ellipse transforms into rectangle
    15. Fade sharpness. If this parameter is greater, pixels outside ellipse fade less
  • Show noise - display large noise
  • Screen shivering
  • Effect light lamp - colours are faded at the image border
  • Random noise on screen - display small noise
  • Flicking - light intensity is changes randomly
  • Big noise - display large spots

 

Examples

Let's consider job of the filter on a test sequence "Foreman".

Frame from film
source frame from "Foreman"sequence
after Filter
after MSU Old Cinema, use "Yellow shift" color correction

The next example demonstrates the usage of the "Real old cinema" preset. Certainly, you can adjust the amount of noise, spot, scratches and other types of artifacts regardless of the preset as every film features its own adjustments.

sourse frame, from film Terminator-2
source frame from "Foreman" sequence
frame, after filter works
after filter MSU Old Cinema work
(preset "Real old cinema")

èñõîäíûé êàäð èç ôèëüìà
source frame from "Flower" sequence
êàäð, îáðàáîòàííûé MSU Old cinema
after filter MSU Old Cinema work
(preset "Real old cinema")

Public MSU video filters
Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. Commonly we develop a whole family of some kind of a filter. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru.
MSU filters for companies
We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
