-## 🔧 Remaining Issue: Oscillation from Moving Objects
+## ✅ BRIGHTNESS SMOOTHING IMPLEMENTED
 
-### Problem Description
+### Solution: Temporal Filtering with Exponential Moving Average
 
-Even with `vslow` ramp rate and 1000ms updates, small oscillations occur when:
-- Objects move through the scene (people, cars, birds)
-- Temporarily changing the average brightness
-- Algorithm reacts to transient changes, not background light
+To handle oscillations from moving objects (people, cars, birds), brightness temporal smoothing has been implemented.
 
-**Example:**
-```
-Frame 100: brightness 128 → exposure 0.500ms
-Frame 150: person walks by → brightness 140 → exposure starts increasing
-Frame 200: person gone → brightness 128 → exposure starts decreasing
-```
-
-This creates a "breathing" effect as the algorithm chases temporary brightness changes.
-
-### Root Cause: No Temporal Filtering
-
-Currently, the algorithm:
-1. ✅ Calculates brightness every frame
-2. ❌ Uses that single frame's brightness directly for exposure decisions
-3. ❌ Reacts to transient objects instead of background lighting trend
-
-### Solution: Decouple Sampling from Adjustment
-
-**YASS approach** (which we should adopt):
+**How it works:**
 - **Sample brightness:** Every frame (high temporal resolution)
-- **Smooth brightness:** Exponential moving average or rolling average
-- **Adjust exposure:** Only based on the smoothed brightness value
+- **Smooth brightness:** Exponential moving average (EMA)
+- **Adjust exposure:** Based on smoothed brightness trend, not instantaneous values
 
 This filters out transient changes while staying responsive to actual lighting changes.
 
-### Proposed Implementation
+### Implementation
 
-Add brightness smoothing with exponential moving average (EMA):
+**New property added: `brightness-smoothing`**
 
 ```c
-/* In GstIntervalometer struct, add: */
-gdouble smoothed_brightness;     /* Exponentially smoothed brightness */
-gdouble brightness_alpha;        /* Smoothing factor (0-1) */
-
-/* In transform_ip, replace direct brightness use: */
-// Current (reacts to every frame):
-gst_intervalometer_update_camera_settings(filter, brightness);
-
-// Improved (reacts to trend):
-filter->smoothed_brightness = (brightness_alpha * brightness) +
-                              ((1.0 - brightness_alpha) * filter->smoothed_brightness);
-gst_intervalometer_update_camera_settings(filter, filter->smoothed_brightness);
+/* Exponential Moving Average formula: */
+smoothed = (alpha × new_brightness) + ((1 - alpha) × smoothed_old)
 ```
 
 **Parameters:**
-- `brightness_alpha = 0.1` → heavily smoothed (recommended for time-lapse)
-- `brightness_alpha = 0.3` → moderately smoothed
-- `brightness_alpha = 0.5` → lightly smoothed
-- `brightness_alpha = 1.0` → no smoothing (current behavior)
+- `brightness-smoothing=0.05` → Very heavy smoothing (5% new, 95% history)
+- **`brightness-smoothing=0.1`** → **Heavy smoothing (default, recommended for time-lapse)**
+- `brightness-smoothing=0.3` → Moderate smoothing
+- `brightness-smoothing=0.5` → Light smoothing
+- `brightness-smoothing=1.0` → No smoothing (instant response)
 
-With alpha=0.1:
-- New frame contributes 10%
-- History contributes 90%
-- Effectively ~10 frame averaging
-- Transient objects have minimal impact
+**With brightness-smoothing=0.1:**
+- Each new frame contributes 10% to the smoothed value
+- Previous history contributes 90%
+- Effectively averages over ~10 frames
+- Moving objects cause minor ripples instead of large swings
+- Background lighting trend still tracked accurately
 
-### Alternative: Configurable Brightness Averaging Window
+### Complete Recommended Pipeline for Dawn/Dusk:
 
-Add a new property `brightness-window` (number of frames to average):
-
-```c
-/* Rolling average over N frames */
-guint brightness_window;           /* e.g., 50 frames = 1 second at 50fps */
-gdouble brightness_history[256];   /* Circular buffer */
-guint brightness_index;            /* Current position in buffer */
-```
-
-This gives users direct control: "average brightness over last N frames"
-
-### Recommendation
-
-**For dawn/dusk time-lapse with moving objects:**
 ```bash
-intervalometer enabled=true camera-element=cam \
-    ramp-rate=vslow \
-    update-interval=1000 \
-    brightness-alpha=0.1    # (new parameter - to be implemented)
+gst-launch-1.0 \
+    idsueyesrc config-file=ini/whole-presacler64_autoexp-binningx2.ini \
+    exposure=0.85 framerate=50 gain=0 name=cam device-id=2 ! \
+    intervalometer enabled=true camera-element=cam \
+        ramp-rate=vslow \           # 5% exposure steps
+        update-interval=1000 \      # 1 update/second
+        brightness-smoothing=0.1 \  # Filter moving objects
+        log-file=timelapse.csv ! \
+    videocrop bottom=3 ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
 ```
 
-Or once averaging is implemented:
-```bash
-intervalometer enabled=true camera-element=cam \
-    ramp-rate=vslow \
-    update-interval=1000 \
-    brightness-window=50    # Average over 50 frames (1 sec at 50fps)
-```
-
-This will make the algorithm **ignore transient brightness spikes** from moving objects and focus on the **actual background lighting trend**.
+**This configuration:**
+- ✅ Samples brightness every frame (50 Hz)
+- ✅ Smooths out transient brightness changes from moving objects
+- ✅ Updates exposure slowly (1 Hz) based on smoothed brightness trend
+- ✅ Ramps exposure gradually (5% steps)
+- ✅ Results in smooth, stable time-lapse without visible oscillation
