• Project, Ideas: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin
• Implementation: Alexey Noskov
• Updating and additions: Sergey Grishin

Common description

BFM metric is made to measure flicking quantity between neighboring frames of the sequence.

Change Log

[!] — Known bug
[+] — New Feature
[*] — Other

Version 1.1
[*] Visualization error fixed for non-stadard resolution video

Version 1.0
[+] First filter release

Visualization

Y-plane is drawing during the visualization.

Plots

Per-frame metric’s value is showing after measurements. Metric’s value is modulus of difference between average brightness values of previous and current frames. Resulting metric’s value is average value among all per-frame values.

Algorithm

Average brightness value is calculating for each frame. Metric’s value is modulus of difference between average brightness values of previous and current frames.
