System and methods for automated photosensitivity detection

A computer-implemented method to for photosensitivity flash detection comprising:

• receiving video data comprising a plurality video frames arranged sequentially, each of individual frames comprising a plurality of pixels;
• converting each frame of the video from a colorspace to a detection value;
• determining a frame variance between consecutive frames, wherein the frame variance determines a portion of the frame that between the consecutive frames;
• determining whether the frame variance satisfies a flash area threshold, wherein the flash area threshold is a percentage of a total area of the frame;
• determining average frame variation values for the plurality of frames;
• accumulating the average frame variation values for the plurality of video frames;
• determining flash transitions for the plurality of video frames based on the average frame variation values;
• tracking a number of flash transitions over a defined time period throughout the plurality of video frames;
• determining whether the number of flash transitions satisfies at least one flash threshold for the video data;
• and
• outputting an indication of whether the video data satisfies the at least one flash threshold.
