standard test videos for video processing

matlab, video-processing

Solution

There are also commonly used video sequences – though to a degree it depends on the type of video algorithm you're developing (reflected in the level of motion, type of motion, resolution etc.) and the file type you want (e.g. YUV, compressed).

As a starting point, `foreman.yuv`, `Carphone.yuv`, `akiyo.yuv`, `bus.yuv`, `coastguard.yuv`, `flower.yuv`.

For example googling the above turned up a reasonable looking repositories at the following:

- YUV Video Sequences – ASU

- Derf's Test Video Collection at xiph.org

Lately, the Blender clips Big Buck Bunny, Tears of Steel and Sintel have been more frequently used, as they are available in HD and 4K resolutions as well as in stereo 3D.

Problem

So.. In image processing, lena is the standard image for testing out algorithms in the research community. Similarly.. Are there any standard videos for testing out MATLAB codes for video processing?
