从支持 NV12 和 YUYV 的采集卡采集全范围/无损 rgb 帧 output

Question

I am trying to make a program which captures an image, then i need to compare captured image and the input data which i displayed, both should matc pixel by pixel

Here are the details of my capture card

$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext -d /dev/video0

ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT

I have tried using various methods opencv but ffmpeg came the closest

With below command i am able to get good results but not what i want

ffmpeg -y -f v4l2 -pix_fmt NV12 -video_size 1920x1080 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt bgra -frames:v 10 webcam%03d.bmp

Reference Image

RGB of Reference image

RGB of captured image

Note:- I am able to capture fine with Aforge on windows, but not with ffmpeg on linux. Would like to know if anyone has already got solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

We have to mark the input as BT.709 with "TV Range":

ffmpeg -y -f v4l2 -pix_fmt nv12 -video_size 1920x1080 -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc bt709 -colorspace bt709 -color_range tv -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt bgra -frames:v 10 webcam%03d.bmp

---

Marking the input color format as BT.709:

By default FFmpeg assumes BT.601 color format, and the input video applies BT.709 color format, so we have to mark the video as BT.709 using -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc bt709 -colorspace bt709 arguments.

When the input color format is BT.709, and FFmpeg convert it as it were BT.601, the result is wrong output colors.

---

Marking the range as "TV Range":
By default FFmpeg assumes assumes "Limited Range" (TV range), but we may add -color_range tv to be sure.

Note:
"TV Range" applies "Limited range" - the range of Y color channel is [16, 235] (U and V rane is [16, 240]).
(opposed to "Full range" or "PC Range" where YUV range is [0, 255]).

For reproducing the issue, we may use synthetic video (instead of camera).

Create a reference image:
ffmpeg -y -f lavfi -i testsrc=size=192x108:rate=1:duration=1 -pix_fmt bgra ref%03d.bmp

Create NV12 raw frame in BT.709, "Limited Range" (TV Range):
ffmpeg -y -f lavfi -i testsrc=size=192x108:rate=1:duration=1 -vf scale=out_color_matrix=bt709:out_range=tv -pix_fmt nv12 -f rawvideo in.nv12

Convert the raw frame to BMP without marking the color format and range (getting wrong colors):
ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -pix_fmt nv12 -video_size 192x108 -i in.nv12 -pix_fmt bgra -frames:v 1 wrong_colors_out%03d.bmp

Convert the raw frame to BMP with marking the color format and range (getting correct colors):
ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -pix_fmt nv12 -video_size 192x108 -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc bt709 -colorspace bt709 -color_range tv -i in.nv12 -pix_fmt bgra -frames:v 1 out%03d.bmp
