New version of filter!

The filter is intended to remove logo from films.

This filter works only with static opaque logo.

History of versions:

Main filter ideas:

• Automatic logo detection
• Two modes of work (one-pass and two-pass)
• Two ways for logo removal:
  Blur
  Motion compensation for correct logo area filling (Effect of objects "crawling" over the subtitles or logo)
• Possibility for manual mask editing (for two-pass mode)

  Example in AVI (DivX4) video and comparison with LogoAway & X-Logo filters (1.5 MB)

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.
