All the colours of a film: study of the chromatic variation of movies

In this work, we discuss and present different techniques for film colour summarization together with a preliminary colorimetric study. The aim of this project is to combine the frames of different videos, reducing them to just one image of chromatic significance. This elaboration is made through two different methods: the movie barcodes and long exposure images. Due to their nature, those concise images have not only an artistical aim, but are movies chromatic synthesis that can eventually be used for colour checks and for identification of dominances. At first, we applied those methods on two videos from the Pixar Animation Studios\u2019 short animation movies. Then, as preliminary test, we present an application on the frames of a homemade video altered in different ways together with the relative visual and numerical results
