From 24247a12c7d354087ff8a02b5dc2cc9c916f2e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Scally Date: Thu, 2 May 2024 14:30:42 +0100 Subject: ipa: libipa: Add AgcMeanLuminance base class The Agc algorithms for the RkIsp1 and IPU3 IPAs do the same thing in very large part; following the Rpi IPA's algorithm in spirit with a few tunable values in that IPA being hardcoded in the libipa ones. Add a new base class for AgcMeanLuminance which implements the same algorithm and additionally parses yaml tuning files to inform an IPA module's Agc algorithm about valid constraint and exposure modes and their associated bounds.

The algorithm is a two-stage + * process. + * + * In the first stage, an initial gain value is derived by iteratively comparing + * the gain-adjusted mean luminance across the entire image against a target, + * and selecting a value which pushes it as closely as possible towards the + * target. + * + * In the second stage we calculate the gain required to drive the average of a + * section of a histogram to a target value, where the target and the boundaries + * of the section of the histogram used in the calculation are taken from the + * values defined for the currently configured AeConstraintMode within the + * tuning data. This class provides a helper function to parse those tuning data + * to discover the constraints, and so requires a specific format for those + * data which is described in \ref parseTuningData(). The gain from the first + * stage is then clamped to the gain from this stage. + * + * The final gain is used to adjust the effective exposure value of the image, + * and that new exposure value is divided into shutter time, analogue gain and + * digital gain according to the selected AeExposureMode.
