# Adaptivegrain-rs
Reimplementation of the adaptive\_grain mask as a Vapoursynth plugin.
For a description of the math and the general idea,
see [the article](https://kageru.moe/blog/article/adaptivegrain/).
## Usage
2020-02-26 22:15:27 +01:00
```py
core.adg.Mask(clip, luma_scaling: float)
```
2020-02-26 22:13:17 +01:00
You must call `std.PlaneStats()` before this plugin
(or fill the PlaneStatsAverage frame property using some other method).
Supported formats are YUV with 8-32 bit precision integer or single precision float.
Half precision float input is not supported since no one seems to be using that anyway.
Since the output is grey and only luma is processed,
the subsampling of the input does not matter.
To replicate the original behaviour of adaptivegrain, a wrapper is provided in kagefunc.
It behaves exactly like the original implementation
(except for the performance, which is about 3x faster on my machine).
### Parameters
2020-02-26 22:15:27 +01:00
```
clip: vapoursynth.VideoNode
```
2020-02-26 22:13:17 +01:00
the input clip to generate a mask for.
2020-02-26 22:15:27 +01:00
```py
luma_scaling: float = 10.0
```
2020-02-26 22:13:17 +01:00
the luma\_scaling factor as described in the blog post.
Higher values will make the mask brighter overall.
## Build instructions
```sh
cargo build --release
```
That’s it. This is Rust, after all.
No idea what the minimum version is,
but it works with stable rust 1.41.
That’s all I know.
Binaries for Windows and Linux are in the release tab.
## FAQ
**Why do I have to call std.PlaneStats() manually?**
2020-02-26 22:16:18 +01:00
2020-02-26 22:13:17 +01:00
Because I didn’t want to reimplement it.
`kagefunc.adaptive_grain(clip, show_mask=True)`
does that for you and then just returns the mask.
**Why doesn’t this also add grain?**

I was going to do that originally,
but it just goes back to the same point
about not wanting to reimplement
something that already exists.
