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. This class uses the + * \ref ExposureModeHelper class to assist in that division, and expects the + * data needed to initialise that class to be present in tuning data in a + * format described in \ref parseTuningData(). + * + * In order to be able to use this algorithm an IPA module needs to be able to + * do the following: + * + * 1. Provide a luminance estimation across an entire image. + * 2. Provide a luminance Histogram for the image to use in calculating + * constraint compliance. The precision of the Histogram that is available + * will determine the supportable precision of the constraints. + * + * IPA modules that want to use this class to implement their AEGC algorithm + * should derive it and provide an overriding estimateLuminance() function for + * this class to use. They must call parseTuningData() in init(), and must also + * call setLimits() and resetFrameCounter() in configure(). They may then use + * calculateNewEv() in process(). If the limits passed to setLimits() change for + * any reason (for example, in response to a FrameDurationLimit control being + * passed in queueRequest()) then setLimits() must be called again with the new + * values. + */ + +AgcMeanLuminance::AgcMeanLuminance() + : frameCount_(0), filteredExposure_(0s), relativeLuminanceTarget_(0) +{ +} + +AgcMeanLuminance::~AgcMeanLuminance() = default; + +void AgcMeanLuminance::parseRelativeLuminanceTarget(const YamlObject &tuningData) +{ + relativeLuminanceTarget_ = + tuningData["relativeLuminanceTarget"].get<double>(kDefaultRelativeLuminanceTarget); +} + +void AgcMeanLuminance::parseConstraint(const YamlObject &modeDict, int32_t id) +{ + for (const auto &[boundName, content] : modeDict.asDict()) { + if (boundName != "upper" && boundName != "lower") { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Warning) + << "Ignoring unknown constraint bound '" << boundName << "'"; + continue; + } + + unsigned int idx = static_cast<unsigned int>(boundName == "upper"); + AgcConstraint::Bound bound = static_cast<AgcConstraint::Bound>(idx); + double qLo = content["qLo"].get<double>().value_or(0.98); + double qHi = content["qHi"].get<double>().value_or(1.0); + double yTarget = + content["yTarget"].getList<double>().value_or(std::vector<double>{ 0.5 }).at(0); + + AgcConstraint constraint = { bound, qLo, qHi, yTarget }; + + if (!constraintModes_.count(id)) + constraintModes_[id] = {}; + + if (idx) + constraintModes_[id].push_back(constraint); + else + constraintModes_[id].insert(constraintModes_[id].begin(), constraint); + } +} + +int AgcMeanLuminance::parseConstraintModes(const YamlObject &tuningData) +{ + std::vector<ControlValue> availableConstraintModes; + + const YamlObject &yamlConstraintModes = tuningData[controls::AeConstraintMode.name()]; + if (yamlConstraintModes.isDictionary()) { + for (const auto &[modeName, modeDict] : yamlConstraintModes.asDict()) { + if (AeConstraintModeNameValueMap.find(modeName) == + AeConstraintModeNameValueMap.end()) { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Warning) + << "Skipping unknown constraint mode '" << modeName << "'"; + continue; + } + + if (!modeDict.isDictionary()) { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Error) + << "Invalid constraint mode '" << modeName << "'"; + return -EINVAL; + } + + parseConstraint(modeDict, + AeConstraintModeNameValueMap.at(modeName)); + availableConstraintModes.push_back( + AeConstraintModeNameValueMap.at(modeName)); + } + } + + /* + * If the tuning data file contains no constraints then we use the + * default constraint that the IPU3/RkISP1 Agc algorithms were adhering + * to anyway before centralisation; this constraint forces the top 2% of + * the histogram to be at least 0.5. + */ + if (constraintModes_.empty()) { + AgcConstraint constraint = { + AgcConstraint::Bound::lower, + 0.98, + 1.0, + 0.5 + }; + + constraintModes_[controls::ConstraintNormal].insert( + constraintModes_[controls::ConstraintNormal].begin(), + constraint); + availableConstraintModes.push_back( + AeConstraintModeNameValueMap.at("ConstraintNormal")); + } + + controls_[&controls::AeConstraintMode] = ControlInfo(availableConstraintModes); + + return 0; +} + +int AgcMeanLuminance::parseExposureModes(const YamlObject &tuningData) +{ + std::vector<ControlValue> availableExposureModes; + + const YamlObject &yamlExposureModes = tuningData[controls::AeExposureMode.name()]; + if (yamlExposureModes.isDictionary()) { + for (const auto &[modeName, modeValues] : yamlExposureModes.asDict()) { + if (AeExposureModeNameValueMap.find(modeName) == + AeExposureModeNameValueMap.end()) { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Warning) + << "Skipping unknown exposure mode '" << modeName << "'"; + continue; + } + + if (!modeValues.isDictionary()) { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Error) + << "Invalid exposure mode '" << modeName << "'"; + return -EINVAL; + } + + std::vector<uint32_t> shutters = + modeValues["shutter"].getList<uint32_t>().value_or(std::vector<uint32_t>{}); + std::vector<double> gains = + modeValues["gain"].getList<double>().value_or(std::vector<double>{}); + + if (shutters.size() != gains.size()) { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Error) + << "Shutter and gain array sizes unequal"; + return -EINVAL; + } + + if (shutters.empty()) { + LOG(AgcMeanLuminance, Error) + << "Shutter and gain arrays are empty"; + return -EINVAL; + } + + std::vector<std::pair<utils::Duration, double>> stages; + for (unsigned int i = 0; i < shutters.size(); i++) { + stages.push_back({ + std::chrono::microseconds(shutters[i]), + gains[i] + }); + } + + std::shared_ptr<ExposureModeHelper> helper = + std::make_shared<ExposureModeHelper>(stages); + + exposureModeHelpers_[AeExposureModeNameValueMap.at(modeName)] = helper; + availableExposureModes.push_back(AeExposureModeNameValueMap.at(modeName)); + } + } + + /* + * If we don't have any exposure modes in the tuning data we create an + * ExposureModeHelper using an empty vector of stages.
