[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/3] lavfi/vf_ssim: add warning when color ranges differ

[Chema Gonzalez <chemag@gmail.com>]

The SSIM filter uses the pixel values without considering
the color ranges. This is incorrect. Patch adds a warning
so at least the user knows it.

Let's see an example.

(1) Let's get FR and LR versions of the same image.

```
$ ffmpeg -y -i /tmp/lena.490x490.ppm -vf scale="out_range=full" -pix_fmt yuv420p /tmp/lena.full.y4m
$ xxd /tmp/lena.full.y4m |head

```
$ ffmpeg -y -i /tmp/lena.490x490.ppm -vf scale="out_range=limited" -pix_fmt yuv420p /tmp/lena.limited.y4m
$ xxd /tmp/lena.limited.y4m | head

```

Note that the 2x images are the same. Only difference is the range,
and the precision issues related to range conversion.

(2) Let's calculate the SSIM score:
```
$ ./ffmpeg -filter_threads 1 -filter_complex_threads 1 -i /tmp/lena.full.y4m -i /tmp/lena.limited.y4m -lavfi "ssim" -f null -
...
[Parsed_ssim_0 @ 0x360ab00] SSIM Y:0.942347 (12.391801) U:0.995808 (23.776062) V:0.996104 (24.093747) All:0.960217 (14.003012)
```

As we are comparing an image with itself, we expect "Y: 1" as the
luma SSIM. Issue here is that the SSIM filter just uses the pixel
values, ignoring the color ranges.

Proposed solution is to add a warning.
```
$ ./ffmpeg -filter_threads 1 -filter_complex_threads 1 -i /tmp/foo.full.y4m -i /tmp/foo.limited.y4m -lavfi "ssim" -f null -
...
[Parsed_ssim_0 @ 0x3766280] master and reference frames use different color ranges (pc != tv)
...
[Parsed_ssim_0 @ 0x3766280] SSIM Y:0.000000 (0.000000) U:0.000000 (0.000000) V:0.000000 (0.000000) All:0.000000 (0.000000)
```

Tested:

Ran fate.
```
$ make fate -j
...
