VirtualDub MSU Subtitle Remover

MSU Graphics & Media Lab (Video Group)

Project, ideas: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin
Version 1.2 (MSU Subtitle&Logo Remover): Dmitriy Kulikov
Version 2.0b (MSU Subtitle Remover): Dmitriy Kulikov, Sergey Putilin
Version 3.0beta2 (MSU Subtitle Remover): Dmitriy Kulikov, Sergey Putilin, Yuriy Berdnikov

New version of filter for LOGO removal is here MSU Logo Remover

This filter is a plugin for VirtualDub (Free!)

New MSU Subtitle Remover 3.0 beta2 is available! Download filter now Unpack this file in VirtualDub "Plugins" folder.

Please read User Manual before E-Mailing us

 

What`s new in 3.0 beta2?

  • Fixed bug with "upside-down detection areas"(Thanks for your feedback!)
  • Fixed minor bugs with highly compressed video
  • New processing mode - single pass, no temporary files. Filter became more user-friendly

 

What`s new in 3.0 beta?

  • New detection algorithm - works up to 2 times faster with less memory usage and better quality
  • Improved removing algorithm

 

Main filter ideas:

  • Static subtitles - text doesn`t move for some time
  • 2-Pass or single-pass mode - Detection and removing
  • Possibility of external mask editing
  • Two subtitle removing methods
  • Blur (Spatial extrapolation)
  • Motion compensation for correct subtitle area filling (Effect of objects "crawling" over the subtitles)

    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. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru.
    MSU/YUVsoft filters for companies
    We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
