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

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.

Public MSU video filters
Here are available VirtualDub and AviSynth filters. For a given type of digital video filtration we typically develop a family of different algorithms and implementations. Generally there are also versions optimized for PC and hardware implementations (ASIC/FPGA/DSP). These optimized versions can be licensed to companies. Please contact us for details via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru. 		Filters for companies
We are working with Intel, Samsung, RealNetworks and other companies on adapting our filters other video processing algorithms for specific video streams, applications and hardware like TV-sets, graphics cards, etc. Some of such projects are non-exclusive. Also we have internal researches. Please let us know via video(at)graphics.cs.msu_ru if you are interested in acquiring a license for such filters or making a custom R&D project on video processing, compression, computer vision.
