As of now, I'm passing every decoded frame to OpenCV to perform some image
analysis (like dissimilarity between present and the past frame), but this
method doesn't work accurately and also time-consuming.

"glitch" can mean lots of things, and a decoding failure is only one of

Yes, it caused due to lots of things, but most of the time glitches occur
at a tiny part of the frame (macroblock).

In this case, it looks like a transmission/data error or dropped packet(s).

I'm using FFmpeg C API not the cmd util.

There is a freezedetect filter, but that may not be what you want.

it's only used to detect contiguous static frames.

I think you better off looking at the log messages for decoder errors.

how to dump log of decoder.?
