kalmus film color analysis tool
Project description
KALMUS
KALMUS is a Python package for the computational analysis of colors in films. It provides quantitative tools to study and compare the use of film color. This package serves two purposes: (1) various ways to measure, calculate and compare a film's colors and (2) various ways to visualize a film's color. We have named the software KALMUS in homage to Natalie Kalmus (1882 - 1965), a Technicolor Director who oversaw the color palettes of nearly 300 Hollywood feature films.
KALMUS utilizes the movie barcode as a visualization of the film's color. It has a modularized pipeline for the generation of barcodes using different measures of color and region of interest in each film frame. KALMUS provides a low-level API, high-level command line, and Graphic user interface for audience from all backgrounds to take advantage of its functionality.
