JVET-AQ0060 AHG9: Showcase for Photosensitive Content Information SEI [S. Deshpande (Sharp)]

This contribution describes a demonstration of the use of the Photosensitive Content Information (PCI) SEI message described in JVET-AP2032. The tool analyzes the video for the presence of photosensitive content information as per three different standards, and a creates a visualization per-standard on video timeline. It also displays an on-screen warning while photosensitive content is played and shows logs of the photosensitive content picture ranges.

The showcase is asserted to confirm that the PCI SEI can be generated and used in practice to indicate photosensitive content in a video. We propose to include Photosensitive Content Information SEI in a WD of VSEI V5.

As per criteria:

1. Maturity: good
2. Usage scenario: clear, parameters used defined in three different standards to associate with individual pictures where critical flashes etc. appear. It would be good to keep the value ranges flexible for future displays.
3. Showcase: available in JVET-AQ0060
4. Software: available, write/parse, but extraction would be simple as demonstrated in showcase
5. Added value in SEI universe: clear
6. Added value compared to systems level solutions: n/a
7. Competition with other developments: n/a
