MSU Drop Frames Metric (DFM)
- Project, Ideas: Dr. Dmitriy Vatolin
- Implementation: Alexey Noskov
- Updating and additions: Sergey Grishin
Common description
DFM is made to calculate number of drop-frames in sequence.

Visualization
Metric’s visualization difference of Y-planes between two consecutive frames + 128. So, grey color (128, 128, 128) means that brigtness of a pixel is the same as at the previous frame.

Visualization example
Plots
Metric’s plot is making after all measurements. “Zero” value means that current frame exist, “one” - that it is dropped. The resulting metric’s value is number of drop-frames.

Plot's example
Algorithm
For each frame difference with the previous one is calculating. Metric’s value is 1 if frames are identical, 0 otherwise.
