Spatial Smoother Description

The Spatial Smoother was designed to be a VirtualDub blur filter that operates only on pixels whose color is reasonably close to each other. The intent is to reduce noise in the video images while keeping the structure intact. In that way, it's similar to Donald Graft's Smart Smoother. So why use it? It's quite a bit faster with small diameters and the output, altough close, isn't identical so it may be better suited for some particular video sequences. Additionaly, it can work (albeit slowly) without MMX. Bear in mind that this is my first VirtualDub plugin and I am by no means a digital video expert. You can adjust the behavior of the filter with the following parameters: - Diameter: A square of (Diameter * Diameter) around each pixel is processed. Speed is falling rapidly as diameter increase. An especially fast routine is used for diameter 3. With diameters above 7, you might be better off with D. Graft's filter. - Strength: Influences the amount of noise removed, but also the amount of details blurred. Try first with the default setting of 3, then increase it if too much noise is left or decrease it if it blurs too much. Strength 0 uses a very low treshold but doesn't disable the filter completely. At Strength 18 it is a regular blur filter.
