Development of the Video Material Digital Processing Technology on the Basis of the Software Tools
Abstract:
The article presents new effective methods of digital color correction for post-processing of film in order to improve viewer perception. The semi-automated algorithm for creating stimulus material is described. The methodology for conducting experiments using an eye-tracker is presented. The author proposes a new method for setting up an experiment to study the effect of a color solution on perception, using the developed software module posted in the internet. Practical recommendations for digital processing of film have been developed, based on the data obtained as a result of the experiments. The proposed methods have been implemented in the visualization and computer graphics laboratory of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) and successfully tested in some low-cost video projects. The formulated practical recommendations on color grading are used by master and graduate students when creating short films and promotional videos for the annual international festival of short films Movie Art Fest and when creating commercials for SPbPU departments.
