Hi Michael,

I'll look at these in detail later on, but just to touch on one point..

"eq" filter:

Contrast can go from -1000 to 1000. The range was expanded a few years ago; the doc wasn't updated.

Do note that what contrast does is scale the distance of a pixel's value from the median value i.e. 128 for a 8-bit input. So, if a pixel channel has a value of 100, then a contrast of 3 results in a value of   128 + 3*(100-128) = 44.

The order is contrast -> brightness -> gamma.


If we assume the video data is in the [0..1] range, the function (before applying gamma) is:

out = brightness + 0.5 + contrast * (in - 0.5)

This works fine for images where most pixels are in the center of the histogram. But it fails for images which consist mainly of a dark background, with only a few bright details. To amplify contrast in such images, both brightness and contrast must be adjusted.

May I suggest to add a new parameter p (pivot) in the range [0..1] which is 0.5 by default (so that it's compatible with old command lines).

out = brightness + p + contrast * (in - p)

With the p value properly set, the contrast could be adjusted without changing the brightness.

Michael
