mask

Functions:

descale_detail_mask

descale_detail_mask(
    clip: VideoNode,
    rescaled: VideoNode,
    thr: float = 0.05,
    inflate: int = 2,
    xxpand: tuple[int, int] = (4, 0),
) -> ConstantFormatVideoNode

Mask non-native resolution detail to prevent detail loss and artifacting.

Descaling without masking is very dangerous, as descaling FHD material often leads to heavy artifacting and fine detail loss.

Parameters:

  • clip

    (VideoNode) –

    Original clip.

  • rescaled

    (VideoNode) –

    Clip rescaled using the presumed native kernel.

  • thr

    (float, default: 0.05 ) –

    Binarizing threshold. Lower will catch more. Assumes float bitdepth input. Default: 0.05.

  • inflate

    (int, default: 2 ) –

    Amount of times to inflate the mask. Default: 2.

  • xxpand

    (tuple[int, int], default: (4, 0) ) –

    Amount of times to Maximum the clip by. The first Maximum is done before inflating, the second after. Default: 4 times pre-inflating, 0 times post-inflating.

Returns:

  • ConstantFormatVideoNode

    Mask containing all the native FHD detail.

    blur: int | float = 3,
    bwbias: int = 1,
    tr: int = 0,
) -> ConstantFormatVideoNode

Create an error mask from the original and rescaled clip.

Parameters:

  • clip

    (VideoNode) –

    Original clip.

  • rescaled

    (VideoNode) –

    Rescaled clip.

  • thr

    (float | list[float], default: 0.038 ) –

    Threshold of the minimum difference.

  • expands

    (int | tuple[int, int, int], default: (2, 2, 3) ) –

    Iterations of mask expand at each step (diff, expand, binarize).

  • blur

    (int | float, default: 3 ) –

    How much to blur the clip. If int, it will be a box_blur, else gauss_blur.

  • bwbias

    (int, default: 1 ) –

    Calculate a bias with the clip's chroma.

  • tr

    (int, default: 0 ) –

    Make the error mask temporally stable with a temporal radius.

Returns:

  • ConstantFormatVideoNode

    Descale error mask.
