The Italian volcanologist Giuseppe Mercalli created the Mercalli scale, which is used to assess and categorise the intensity of an earthquake, ranging from “instrumental” to “catastrophic”. Mercalli created this scale based on an assessment of the degree of damage that results from a quake.
That’s exactly what it has in common with our program Mercalli:
Mercalli also assesses shocks, shakes and distortions. Using very complex mathematical operations, it detects irregularities and removes them from a video clip. In a very intricate procedure, it assesses which movements are intended (e.g. zoom, panning), and which ones are not (e.g. shakes, shocks to the tripod, vibrations). You are then prompted to remove the unwanted movements.
