vapoursynth-cambi

Contrast Aware Multiscale Banding Index (CAMBI) as a VapourSynth plugin. This is a pure Rust+VapourSynth implementation of Netflix's banding detection algorithm without a dependency on libvmaf.

Install

Via vsrepo:

vsrepo install cambi

Or manually on Windows: download a release from the Releases page and unzip cambi.dll into a plugins directory. There are separate artifacts for Raptor Lake (*-raptorlake.zip) and AMD Zen 4 (*-znver4.zip) CPUs which may or may not have better performance than the plain x86_64 build.

API

cambi.Cambi(
    clip: vs.VideoNode,
    window_size: int = 65,
    topk: float = 0.6,
    tvi_threshold: float = 0.019,
    max_log_contrast: int = 2,
    eotf: int = 0,
    prop: str = "CAMBI",
) -> vs.VideoNode

Calculates the CAMBI score of each frame of clip and stores it in the frame property named prop.

clip — Constant format 10-bit integer clip.
window_size — Window size to compute CAMBI. Note that libvmaf's documented default is 63 but internally it actually uses 65, so this plugin defaults to 65 as well.
topk — Ratio of pixels for the spatial pooling computation.
tvi_threshold — Visibility threshold for luminance ΔL < tvi_threshold*L_mean for BT.1886.
max_log_contrast — Maximum contrast in log luma level (2^max_log_contrast) at 10-bit. Default 2 is equivalent to 4 luma levels at 10-bit.
eotf — Electro-optical transfer function.

Value Description

0 Determine from the _Transfer frame property.

1 ITU-R BT.1886.

2 Perceptual quantizer (SMPTE ST 2084).
prop — Name of the frame property to store the CAMBI score in.

Value	Description
0	Determine from the `_Transfer` frame property.
1	ITU-R BT.1886.
2	Perceptual quantizer (SMPTE ST 2084).

Benchmark

With warm caches, this plugin is about 2.7 times faster than akarin.Cambi() on 1080p clips (222.3 fps vs. 80.5 fps over 10 runs of 1001 frames each).

from vstools import core, initialize_clip, set_output, vs

core.set_affinity(16)

src = core.bs.VideoSource(r"/path/to/1080p_video.m2ts")
src = initialize_clip(src, bits=10)

set_output(core.cambi.Cambi(src, window_size=65))
set_output(core.akarin.Cambi(src, window_size=65))

$ hyperfine --warmup 1 'vspipe test.py --end 1000 -o {output_node} .' -P output_node 0 1
Benchmark 1: vspipe test.py --end 1000 -o 0 .
  Time (mean ± σ):      4.502 s ±  0.043 s    [User: 53.877 s, System: 4.763 s]
  Range (min … max):    4.450 s …  4.575 s    10 runs

Benchmark 2: vspipe test.py --end 1000 -o 1 .
  Time (mean ± σ):     12.435 s ±  0.080 s    [User: 183.298 s, System: 2.283 s]
  Range (min … max):   12.342 s … 12.570 s    10 runs

Summary
  vspipe test.py --end 1000 -o 0 . ran
    2.76 ± 0.03 times faster than vspipe test.py --end 1000 -o 1 .

Build

Rust v1.93.0-nightly and cargo may be used to build the project. Older versions will likely work fine but they aren't explicitly supported.

$ git clone https://github.com/sgt0/vapoursynth-cambi.git
$ cd vapoursynth-cambi

# Debug build.
$ cargo build

# Release (optimized) build.
$ cargo build --release

# Release build optimized for the host CPU.
$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release
