Abstract

A method and system for analyzing and marking a film include determining color conditions which define colors compatible with a proposed mark, retrieving a number of consecutive frames to be marked, and determining potential marking areas within an image of each frame of the film. The color components associated with each potential marking area are analyzed to generate color values, and the color values of each of the potential marking areas are compared with the respective color conditions for determining ideal marking areas. Actual marking locations in the film are determined from the determined ideal marking areas.
