Magnitudes filter (Filter Mag.)
In figure 43, you can see that the leftmost column of a report shows the magnitude, or
how strongly a video image has changed. Low magnitudes of 10% to 20% indicate that
gradual changes in lighting or slow movement are being detected. Higher magnitudes
(70% or more) usually mean quick motion or sudden, dramatic changes in lighting.
