 * SECTION:validate-ssim
 * @short_description: GstValidate plugin to detect frame corruptions
 *
 * GstValidate plugin to run the ssim algorithm on the buffers flowing in the
 * pipeline to find regressions and detect frame corruptions.
 * It allows you to generate image files from the buffers flowing in the pipeline
 * (either as raw in the many formats supported by GStreamer or as png) and then
 * check them against pre generated, reference images.
 *
 * The ssim algorithm will set a value of 1.0 when images are perfectly identical,
 * and -1.0 if they have nothing in common. By default we consider images as similar
 * if they have at least a ssim value of 0.95 but you can override it defining the value
 * under which the test will be considered as failed.
 *
 * Errors are reported on the GstValidate reporting system. You can also ask
 * the plugin to  generate grey scale output images. Those will be named in a way
 * that should lets you precisely see where and how the test failed.
 *
 * # Configuration
 *
 * The configuration of the plugin is done through a validate configuration file,
 * specified with the %GST_VALIDATE_CONFIG environment variable. Each line starting
 * with 'ssim,' will configure the ssim plugin. In practice each configuration statement
 * will lead to the creation of a #GstValidateOverride object which will then dump
 * image files and if wanted compare those with a set of reference images.
 *
 * The following parameters can be passed in the configuration file:
 *  - element-classification: The target element classification as define in
 *    gst_element_class_set_metadata
 *  - output-dir: The directory in which the image files will be saved
 *  - min-avg-priority: (default 0.95): The minimum average similarity
 *    under which we consider the test as failing
 *  - min-lowest-priority: (default 1): The minimum 'lowest' similarity
 *    under which we consider the test as failing
 *  - reference-images-dir: Define the directory in which the files to be
 *    compared can be found
 *  - result-output-dir: The folder in which to store resulting grey scale
 *    images when the test failed. In that folder you will find images
 *    with the structural difference between the expected result and the actual
 *    result.
 *  - output-video-format: The format in which you want the images to be saved
 *  - reference-video-format: The format in which the reference images are stored
 *  - check-recurrence: The recurrence in seconds (as float) the frames should
 *    be dumped and checked.By default it is GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, meaning each
 *    and every frame is checked. Not that in any case, after a discontinuity
 *    in the stream (after a seek or a change in the video format for example)
 *    a check is done. And if recurrence == 0, images will be checked only after
 *    such discontinuity
 *  - is-config: Property letting the plugin know that the config line is exclusively
 *    used to configure the following configuration expressions. In practice this
 *    means that it will change the default values for the other configuration
 *    expressions.
 *
 * # Example #
 *
 * Let's take a special configuration where we want to compare frames that are
 * outputted by a video decoder with the ones after a agingtv element we would
 * call my_agingtv. We force to check one frame every 5.0 seconds only (with
 * check-recurrence=5.0) so the test is fast.
 *
 * The configuration file:
 * |[
 *  core, action=set-property, target-element-klass=Sink, property-name=sync, property-value=false
 *
 *  ssim, is-config=true, output-video-format="I420", reference-video-format="I420"
 *  ssim, element-classification="Video/Decoder", output-dir=/tmp/test/before-agingtv/
 *  ssim, element-name=my_agingtv, output-dir=/tmp/test/after-agingtv/, \
 *        reference-images-dir=/tmp/test/before-agingtv/, \
 *        result-output-dir=/tmp/test/failures, check-recurrence=5.0
 * ]|
 *
 * Save that content in a file called check_agingtv_ssim.config
 *
 * ## Launch the pipeline
 * |[
 *    GST_VALIDATE_CONFIG=check_agingtv_ssim.config gst-validate-1.0-debug uridecodebin uri=file://a/file ! videoconvert ! agingtv name=my_agingtv ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
 * ]|
