New version of filter!

The filter is intended to remove logo from films.

This filter works with:

• Static opaque logos
• Semi transparent static logos
• Opaque animated logos

History of versions:

3.0b - semi transparent and animated logos are supported now

2.3b - fixed bug with crashing on Intel processors

2.2b - fixed grammatical errors

2.1b - fixed bug with VirtualDub crashing

2.0b - first beta version

---

Version 3.0b

---

Attention! To remove logos using manually created logo mask use 2.3b version of filter

Main filter ideas:

• Automatic logo detection
• Three ways for logo removal:
  • Blur
  • Motion compensation for correct logo area filling (Effect of objects "crawling" over the subtitles or logo)
  • Subtraction of semi transparent logo using statistical data

  Public MSU video filters Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. For a given type of digital video filtration we typically develop a family of different algorithms and implementations. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies.
