System and Methods for Generating Scene Stabilized Metadata

A method for using scene-stable metadata in a video data stream, the method comprising:

• dividing the video data stream into a set of scenes;
• generating a first metadata associated with a first scene within the set of scenes, wherein generating the first metadata associated with the first scene within the set of scenes comprises:
• computing a min, mid and max luminance for each frame in a scene;
• and
• computing a min, mid and max luminance for the scene;
• generating scene stable metadata;
• and
• associating the scene stable metadata with said first scene, wherein associating the scene stable metadata with said first scene further comprises:
• repeating the scene stable metadata for every frame within said first scene.

A system for using scene stable metadata to video data, said system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory associated with said processor and said memory further comprising processor-readable instructions, such that when said processor reads the processor-readable instructions, causes the processor to perform the following instructions:
• receiving a video data stream, said video data stream comprising a set of scenes;
• generating a first metadata associated with a first scene within the set of scenes, wherein generating the first metadata associated with the first scene within the set of scenes comprises:
• computing a min, mid and max luminance for each frame in a scene;
• and
• computing a min, mid and max luminance for the scene;
• generating scene stable metadata;
• and
• associating the scene stable metadata with said first scene, wherein associating the scene stable metadata with said first scene further comprises:
• repeating the scene stable metadata for every frame within said first scene.
