Instead of trying to enhance just a single image, these video analysis algorithms can take advantage of the information from an entire run of adjacent frames to reconstruct the original scene with more detail by tracking. 2.8 - Added FORENSIC section to replace PRO 2.7 - Added Field alignment and Transparency slider 2.6 - Added settings logging and TXT file support 2.5 - Added SuperResolution and TimeStamps 2.4 - Added HotSpot suppression and logo remover 2.3 - Added Deblocker 2.2 - Added Resize and Duplicate frame remover 2.1 - Added Denoise, Lens deblur, Field.

Summary: MotionDSP vReveal Video Enhancement Software (8/2009)

by Douglas Dixon

According to James Bond and CSI, any piece of video can be magically cleaned up, no matter how distorted and dark and shaky. Just talk to the computer, and suddenly you can clearly see the color of someone's eyes way in the background, or read tiny writing on a paper lying on the ground.

The real world version of video enhancement capabilities has been available in professional video editing tools and dedicated forensic applications. And now MotionDSP vReveal brings single-click enhancement to consumer video (www.vreveal.com).

With vReveal, just import your clip, select and preview the enhancements (Clean, Sharpen, Brighten, Enhance Contrast, Stabilize, Double Resolution, Deinterlace), and then save the result. It's made for quickly fixing up clips, for example before you share them online, without requiring firing up a video editing application (although you can trim the beginning and ends of clips).

Split-screen preview

With vReveal, MotionDSP has brought its forensic video enhancement technology to consumer videos. The interface is clean and simple, although it could be clearer about stepping though the process and showing you what enhancement options are being applied. It provides a preview of the enhancements (in almost real time for at least some of them), with a helpful split-screen option to see the results -- although not necessarily at the actual video frame size.

The available enhancements are useful for a lot of consumer video, including sharpening blurry clips, enhancing contrast, adjusting brightness (without blowing out the bright areas), and general cleaning of noisy video. The two especially interesting options typically found only in pro software are super-resolution, to double the dimensions of a smaller clip with more detail from adjacent frames, and stabilization, to smooth out jitters from hand-held cameras. There's also a somewhat-hidden deinterlace option.

vReveal can process video files in MPG and Windows formats (AVI, WMV), and more with QuickTime installed (MOV, MPEG 2, 3GP). You than can upload your video directly to YouTube, or save as a file, but only in WMV (Windows Media Video) or uncompressed AVI format. You'll then have to use a separate tool to convert clips to other popular formats for web, DVD, mobile, and other uses.

vReveal clearly can do some nice work on sub-optimal videos. It would be helpful if it gave more feedback about how well it was working -- there was no indication when the stabilization could not handle some tough racing car footage (with much more severe vibration than a handheld camera). Free printable guitar tabs.

vReveal is priced at $49.99 online. But the real test is to try it out to see how it works with your own videos. You can download the free 30-day trial (it applies a watermark to exported and captured videos) at www.vreveal.com/download.

Forensic Video Software

Forensic video enhancement applications designed for law enforcement and military use include Ocean Systems dTective which has some 1500 installed systems (packaged with Avid workstations starting at around $12K, www.oceansystems.com/dtective), as well as products that run on Windows PCs like MotionDSP Ikena (starting at $7K, www.motiondsp.com/products/Ikena) and Sarnoff Video ResolvR (around $4K, www.sarnoff.com/products/video-enhancement).

Ikena is designed to enhance video from sources like surveillance and security cameras, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), cell phone cameras, and YouTube videos. There's also the Ikena Live version for enhancing live, streaming video, for example from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or casino surveillance cameras, which also is optimized for CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics processors (GPU) to run up to five times faster.

Ikena stabilizes shaky video, cleans up noise, performs super-resolution enhancement to pull more detail out of the scene. Instead of trying to enhance just a single image, these video analysis algorithms can take advantage of the information from an entire run of adjacent frames to reconstruct the original scene with more detail by tracking common features across multiple frames.

This kind of video analysis obviously can require some significant processing power and time, but it's also trickling down into professional and even consumer video editing software. These days, digital cameras can do real-time face-finding and tracking of multiple faces in scene. And video editing tools provide a variety of video enhancement filters, although more advanced capabilities like stabilization still require more specialized professional tools.

vReveal - Video Enhancement for Consumers

More and more these days we're shooting short mini-clips on our cell phones or pocket video camcorders, ready to post directly online. However, these kinds of clips are the most in need of some clean-up, since they're shot with inexpensive imagers, though small fixed lenses, hand-held and under less-than ideal conditions, and without sophisticated in-camera adjustments.

But who wants to fire up a video editing tool to fiddle with a clip to try to clean it up. There's no time (or interest) in doing fancy video editing anyway -- no need for titles, credits, music track, or fancy transitions. At most, make a quick trim to remove some junk from the beginning or end of the clip, and it's ready to post.

And this is the scenario for which vReveal is designed -- quick and easy -- import the clip, apply and preview the enhancements, and then export and save -- including directly to YouTube. There's no project settings, no timeline, no properties window, just pick a clip and click to enhance.

Gallery - Import

vReveal uses a three-step interface, with three tabs for the workflow: Gallery (import), Enhance (options), and Share (export).

Use the Gallery tab to import and review the clip or clips that you want to enhance. vReveal can scan your computer for folders containing video, and monitor the folders for changes.

Gallery

Use the preview window to play your clips. You can apply simple edits while previewing in both the Gallery and Enhance tabs to rotate a clip, and to trim the beginning and end (though it would be helpful to have single-step controls for this). You also can capture a still image snapshot of a frame. Robinhood app.

VReveal can import video clips in MPG, AVI, ASF, and WMV file formats, and, with QuickTime installed, adds MOV, MPEG 2 and 3GP files.

Enhance - Fine Tune

Then use the Enhance tab to apply and preview the video enhancements. There's a One Click Fix button that appl
