Brightness flicker is an annoying effect. It can be seen in video digitized from old film or captured by low-quality camera equipment, and it is apparent under some artificial lighting conditions when the frame rate has not been adjusted with respect to the flicker frequency of the lighting. Our technology automatically detects and eliminates global brightness flicker without distorting any actual change in brightness.

Primary Applications

• Digital camcorders
• Post-processing of captured video
• Restoration of video digitized from old media

Key Features

• One-pass real-time processing
• Fully automatic
• Especially beneficial for non-stationary flickering

Basic Deliverables

• Source code for a reference implementation in C
• C and assembly language source code for an implementation optimized for the PC (if required)
• Algorithm description
• Software description
• Verification instructions
