Guide: removing logos/watermarks without leaving a big ugly blur

Just something I was playing around with, thought I'd share.

Example:

Draw a b/w mask in MS Paint or whatever:

Get AviSynth and the AVSInpaint plugin.

Use the following script:

code:loadCplugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\AVSInpaint.dll")
AVISource("cam-rambo-wprp-sample.avi")
msk=ImageSource("mask.bmp").converttoyv12
inpaintlogo(mask=msk)

Result:

(Edit - why are my img tags not working?)

Heh. Thanks.

That's just a quick demonstration. There's still a bit of a halo around where the text used to be, because there's a bit of ringing in the original Xvid.

It should be possible to get better results by adjusting the mask and/or the additional inpaintlogo() parameters.

But why is it that [IMG] tags don't work in this part of the forum? They seem to work in General Discussion.

I was actually searching for an AviSynth filter to help someone with a method of masking film damage.

I found the inpainting method isn't suitable for masking a large area such as this, but it does give good results for small items like logos, watermarks, counters, etc.

very similar to

very similar to the DeLogo filter for VirtualDub, but this is hella lot simpler!
