STAdaptive Denoise
It is a filter to improve the chosen image by using the forward and backward
images. Its advantage is, it decreases the bluntness that appears in the dark
images.
The filter is applied by the following four categories.
1. Number of frame: The picture quality becomes stable and cleaner by
increasing it. But the best effect is shown when the value is lower for
brighter environment and higher for darker environment.
2. Filter Mask size: The picture quality becomes stable and cleaner by
increasing it. But in whole, the image can be less clear.
3. Spatial Threshold: The picture quality becomes stable and cleaner by
increasing it. But the detail part of the image will not be easy to
differentiate.
4. Motion Threshold: The picture quality becomes stable and cleaner by
increasing it. Input low value for the times in bright environment and high
value for the times in dark or without movement as an after image can
develop for the movements appearing.
Below is the example picture after applying [STAdaptive Denoise].

Auto Contrast Enhance
Increase the color and light intensity of the screen automatically to increase
the screen’s resolution.
Sharpen Convolution
Increase the resolution by effective to use on images with non-clear objects.
The disadvantage is that the picture decreases when it is used excessively.
As the setting value increase, the object differentiation will be easier but the
picture quality will not be good.
Sharpen
Improve the resolution of the image by emphasizing the object’s boundary
line. It has a disadvantage of lowering the picture quality as Sharpen
Convolution function does. As the setting value increase, the object
differentiation will be easier but the quality will not be better.
Edge-Sensitive Deinterlace
It is a function to enlarge the recorded image of 640x240 mode to 640x480
mode. This enlarging method is different from the existing mode. The
boundary line is preserved while enlarging so the picture quality is maintained
while the size is enlarged. If the image is recorded 640X480, contour of the
image can be deviated. This phenomenon appears frequently when the fast
motion is recorded. By using this filter in 640x480, deviated contour of the
image is fixed.
Median
It is efficient to remove specks/spots or noise in the image. Use the setting
value appropriately as the image looks as if it had been drawn with water
paint when the setting value is higher.
Smooth Convolution
It is efficient to eliminate noise. It gives more natural feeling Median. But the
disadvantage is that, the image will be hazy when the value is too high.
Gaussian
It eliminates the noise in whole. It is similar to Smoothing Convolution but
relatively more natural than Smoothing Convolution. The noise eliminating
effect is bigger as the setting value increase.
Gray
Change the image to black color.
Real Image View
When viewing the recorded data which recorded by 640x480, there comes
icon at the bottom of right side. You can see the original size of
recorded data by clicking this icon.
Note
Various filters can be applied together.
Example,
① [STAdaptive Denoise]→② [Auto Contrast Enhance]→③ [Sharpen], better picture quality can be get
from the revised image.
※ [Edge-Sensitive Deinterlace] filter and [STAdaptive Denoise] filter can not be applied together.
Furthermore apply these two filters first before applying other filters when there is a need to apply other
filters together with these two filters. When these two filters are applied later, they will be applied to the original
image and the filters applied previously will be canceled.
