Description

any chance a filter to remove bright flashes from video?

it may drop the frame or duplicate a previous non-bright frame, making video stutter a bit.

i'll upload a sample soon.

Hi,

I've been working on a filter to do this. My code so far is here:

https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/compare/master...CyberShadow:epilepsy

Feedback from those who would find this useful would be appreciated.
I can also provide Win64 ffmpeg/mpv binaries.

I intend to submit the filter for inclusion once we conclude the results to be satisfactory.

Really nice, some comments at first glace:

  • Use the .activate callback
  • You can probably factorize the blending code in vf_framerate so ASM can be used for blending
  • A separate mode to detect only flashes (and not remove them) would probably be useful

This is bug tracker, patches should be discussed on the mailing list.

yes if you can provide a win64 binary I can test, although I am no expert.

I am curious on why you chose to write a filter for this. I am happy to see work on this, I hope a filter like this can help people.

I am assuming it is real time ?

Replying to compn:

There are binaries available at this very-temporary URL:

http://89.28.117.31:8081/bin/

There are also some samples/comparisons on the same server, but note that they may not be safe to look at.

I am curious on why you chose to write a filter for this.

Someone I know mentioned that they would find such a thing useful, and it seemed like a very interesting project that could help people.

I am assuming it is real time ?

Yes, it works in real time (on recent CPUs) and does not buffer.

I like your comparison videos. Very clear before and after.

Your filter tries pretty hard on this clip from the incredibles 2, but I don't think theres anything that can be done for it.

the only other thing i could think of is that the "next gen" version of this filter would remember which macroblocks are moving/changing colors at too fast of a pace, and then you could just freeze those ones while the (still moving, but not flashing) macroblocks are allowed to continue. Not even sure if its possible to do what I am describing though. It would also cause or look like tearing.

is there a memory leak? seems to eat about 3gb+ ram here when using your filter vs no filters. could be a mingw bug or something else.

but yes, if you have not already, please submit patch to ffmpeg-devel for discussions. that is the proper place for patch discussions. this bug tracker does not get as many eyeballs as the mailing list.

I asked netflix about the filter. they said it would need proof that the filter is following the ITU standard before considering using it.

https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/bt/R-REC-BT.1702-2-201910-I!!PDF-E.pdf

maybe a future feature request. just putting itu link here for now. maybe someone would put a bounty or hire developer to make it conform to specs.
