Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure relate to a method for reducing artefacts caused by the presence of flicker during capture of a video. A sequence of frames of the video are captured, the frames each comprising a plurality of predefined regions each comprising a plurality of pixels. A time-varying oscillation of the flicker is characterized based on variations, across the sequence of frames, of data relating to pixel intensities in at least one said region. Based on the characterizing of the time-varying oscillation of the flicker, a flicker correction is applied to a frame of the video.
