.. SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-4.0 .. section-begin-libcamera =========== libcamera =========== **A complex camera support library for Linux, Android, and ChromeOS** Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing operations. Control of the processing is based on advanced algorithms that must run on a programmable processor. This has traditionally been implemented in a dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices algorithms have been moved to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the boundary between camera devices and Linux often left the user with no other option than a vendor-specific closed-source solution. To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that will be open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP. libcamera was born out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to Linux-based systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android. .. section-end-libcamera .. section-begin-getting-started Getting Started --------------- To fetch the sources, build and install: :: git clone git://linuxtv.org/libcamera.git cd libcamera meson build ninja -C build install Dependencies ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following Debian/Ubuntu packages are required for building libcamera. Other distributions may have differing package names: A C++ toolchain: [required] Either {g++, clang} for libcamera: [required] meson (>= 0.47) ninja-build python3-yaml If your distribution doesn't provide a recent enough version of meson, you can install or upgrade it using pip3. .. code:: pip3 install --user meson pip3 install --user --upgrade meson for device hotplug enumeration: [optional] pkg-config libudev-dev for documentation: [optional] python3-sphinx doxygen for gstreamer: [optional] libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev for IPA module signing: [required] libgnutls28-dev openssl for qcam: [optional] qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5widgets5 Using GStreamer plugin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To use GStreamer plugin from source tree, set the following environment so that GStreamer can find it. export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(pwd)/build/src/gstreamer The debugging tool `gst-launch-1.0` can be used to construct and pipeline and test it. The following pipeline will stream from the camera named "Camera 1" onto the default video display element on your system. .. code:: gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc camera-name="Camera 1" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink .. section-end-getting-started 56977ca8529ae698400ce0e65fac6'>libcamera/camera.cpp

 * \brief Camera device handling
 *
 * At the core of libcamera is the camera device, combining one image source
 * with processing hardware able to provide one or multiple image streams. The
 * Camera class represents a camera device.
 *
 * A camera device contains a single image source, and separate camera device
 * instances relate to different image sources. For instance, a phone containing
 * front and back image sensors will be modelled with two camera devices, one
 * for each sensor. When multiple streams can be produced from the same image
 * source, all those streams are guaranteed to be part of the same camera
 * device.
 *
 * While not sharing image sources, separate camera devices can share other
 * system resources, such as an ISP. For this reason camera device instances may
 * not be fully independent, in which case usage restrictions may apply. For
 * instance, a phone with a front and a back camera device may not allow usage
 * of the two devices simultaneously.

/**
 * \class CameraConfiguration
 * \brief Hold configuration for streams of the camera

 * The CameraConfiguration holds an ordered list of stream configurations. It
 * supports iterators and operates as a vector of StreamConfiguration instances.
 * The stream configurations are inserted by addConfiguration(), and the
 * operator[](int) returns a reference to the StreamConfiguration based on its
 * insertion index. Accessing a stream configuration with an invalid index
 * results in undefined behaviour.
 *
 * CameraConfiguration instances are retrieved from the camera with
 * Camera::generateConfiguration(). Applications may then inspect the
 * configuration, modify it, and possibly add new stream configuration entries
 * with addConfiguration(). Once the camera configuration satisfies the
 * application, it shall be validated by a call to validate(). The validation
 * implements "try" semantics: it adjusts invalid configurations to the closest
 * achievable parameters instead of rejecting them completely. Applications
 * then decide whether to accept the modified configuration, or try again with
 * a different set of parameters. Once the configuration is valid, it is passed
 * to Camera::configure().
