[FFmpeg-user] how to invert a colormap implemented with filter_complex

[Audette, Michel A.]

Dear members of the ffmpeg community,

I'm trying to visualize the deep neural network-based depth estimation result based on a video input, using code available on GitHub: https://github.com/tinghuiz/SfMLearner . There is a demo on that page whose visualization is exactly right: a purple-to-yellow colormap that corresponds to plasma. e.g.:

[cid:d60c3a17-abd3-469a-978f-90199c4baf1f]

I believe that the implementation is along the lines of the following:

 -filter_complex "pseudocolor=p=plasma"

However, my current result has the proximate objects mapped to dark purple and the furthest objects appearing in yellow, which is counterintuitive from a saliency standpoint.

[cid:ce889fa7-fb3e-49d8-878c-bf66728a98c5]
It is the opposite of what I would like to achieve.

How can I invert this mapping, while retaining that particular plasma colormap?

If I try to use -lutrgb="r=negval:g=negval:b=negval", right after the -filter_complex command, I get "unrecognized option".

Thanks for your support.

Michel
