This guide provides step by step instructions to process with verification of anchor reconstructions and verifications.
- download bitstreams and jsons for a given scenario

In some cases, must process conversion from one representation to another before. This 8 to 10 bit, 10 to 8 bit, and YUV to RGB444.
In the case of S1-T11-VTM, YUV to RGB444 needs to be performed on the reference sequence as well as on the reconstructions to compute HDR metrics using HDRTools.
Convert the reconstructions of the test scenario:
python3 src/vcc.py -s S1-T11-VTM-22 convert --reconstructions

Run metrics computations, and update the json metadata.
python3 src/vcc.py -s S1-T11-VTM-22 metrics

...
Using --dry-run skips computation but attempts to parse an existing log to update the .json metadata.
python3 src/vcc.py -s S1-T11-VTM-22 csv-metrics
In order to produce a verification report, we must download the original metrics.
python3 src/vcc.py -c S1-VTM-02 csv-metrics
python3 src/vcc.py -c S1-VTM-02 convert --reconstructions
