New issue 265 by
lee.ston...@gmail.com: Visual artefacts appear when
filtering is enabled on a thumbnail sheet
https://code.google.com/p/webp/issues/detail?id=265
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Any options that include filtering for example: cwebp -preset photo.
Specifying -f 0 clears up these artefacts.
Using a higher -q uality value reduces them.
Any value(apart from 0) of -f creates artefacts in the same places.
Any value of -sns can change the location of artefacts for a given -f value.
Any value of -pre can change the location of artefacts for a given -f value.
Using an earlier version for example 0.2.1 does not have the artefacts
detailed here.
What is the expected output?
I would expect there to be no unsightly visual artefacts like when using
version 0.2.1. Unsure upto what version this ceased to be the case, but i
noticed them when 1st trying 0.4.1 from what i remember.
I have provided examples of 0.2.1 for your convenience, the filenames with
021 in them. The q49 file is just to show what it looks like at roughly the
same file size as 0.4.3 just using -preset photo.
What do you see instead?
On the file Sheet_001-043-photo.webp at the edges of the images gw160.png &
gw157.png on the sheet you can see noticeable dark artefacts.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Tested on Win7 64 host, and WinXP 32 inside a VM.
0.2.1, 0.4.3 and latest source from git.
Please provide any additional information below.
In this example while quite dark, to me they still just jump off the page.
I do imagine this sort of image isn't your target but wanted to log it in
case anything can be done. I am more than happy to stick with 0.2.1 as
these sheets are just for personal use.
I did grab the latest source from git this morning and compiled for win32
and the issue and files produced are identical to 0.4.3, the newer -pre
values just moved the artefacts around a bit. This image is quite tame for
the artefacts but others are more extreme. On this example -picture helps a
fair bit due to -pre 0, apart from on the thumb for gw157.png on other
thumbnail sheets it doesn't do much. On sheets with brighter images these
dark artefacts are really obvious.
These were just a random set of images i rotated to highlight the issue.
I did search and couldn't find anything related to this so i hope it isn't
a duplicate and that i had used bad search terms.
A maybe irrelevant observation:
Changing the text colour can help quite a bit but not eliminate the
artefacts.
Filename format:
[source file]-[webp version used]-[any options specified].webp
