From ea8fd63d936f19bfc773199b9fe81e8d5d1f709b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naushir Patuck Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2024 09:13:17 +0100 Subject: ipa: rpi: awb: Add a bias to the AWB search In the case of an AWB search failure, the current algorithm logic will return a point on the CT curve closest to where the search finisned. This can be quite undesirable. Instead, add some bias params to the AWB algorithm which will direct the search to a set CT value in the case where statistics become unreliable causing the search to fail.
