This function allows you to remove stripe artifacts from your image. It is recommended to use the output preview to determine the suitable values for your parameters. You can display the output preview window by clicking on Preview in the Output tool.

Parameter

Description

Method

Selects the method you want to use for the removing the striping artifacts in your image.

–

GPU VSNR

Only available if you have a NVIDIA GPU in your machine.
Uses a special GPU-based VSNR algorithm.

–

GPU

Only available if you have a NVIDIA GPU in your machine.
Uses a GPU optimized algorithm to remove the stripe artifacts from the image. This calculation produces the same results as the CPU version when using the same parameter values.

–

CPU

Uses a CPU optimized algorithm to remove artifacts from the image.

Iterations

Sets the number of iterations after which the calculation is ended.

First Filter

Displays the settings of the first filter to remove vertical or horizontal stripes in your image.

–

Noise Level

Sets the intensity level of the stripes in your image.

–

Width

The calculation for the removal of stripes in the image is based on a Gaussian curve. This parameter sets the width of the curve.

–

Height

The calculation for the removal of stripes in the image is based on a Gaussian curve. This parameter sets the elongation of the curve.

–

Angle

Sets the angle for stripes in your image. An angle of 0 corresponds to vertical stripes. An angle of 90 (or -90) corresponds to horizontal stripes.

Second Filter

To remove a second set of stripes (e.g. if you have both vertical and horizontal stripes in your image), you can activate a second filter. For information about the parameters, see the descriptions above.

–

Enabled

Activated: Displays the settings for a second filter to remove striping artifacts in the image.
Deactivated: Hides the settings for a second filter and only the first filter is applied.
