2021-11-15ipa: ipu3: Use sensor controls to update frameContextJean-Michel Hautbois
The pipeline handler populates the new sensorControls ControlList, to have the effective exposure and gain values for the current frame. This is done when a statistics buffer is received. Make those values the frameContext::sensor values for the frame when the EventStatReady event is received. AGC also needs to use frameContext.sensor as its input values and frameContext.agc as its output values. Modify computeExposure by passing it the frameContext instead of individual exposure and gain values.

2021-10-06ipa: ipu3: awb: Introduce Black Level CorrectionJean-Michel Hautbois
The pixels output by the camera normally include a black level, because sensors do not always report a signal level of '0' for black. Pixels at or below this level should be considered black and to achieve that, we need to substract an offset to all the pixels. This can be taken into account by reading the lowest value of a special region on sensors which is not exposed to light. This provides a substracting factor to be able to adjust the expected black levels in the resulting images. For a camera outputting 10-bit pixel values (in the range 0 to 1023) a typical black level might be 64. It is a fixed value, obtained by capturing a raw frame with minimum exposure and gain fixed to 1.0 while covering the sensor (the darker the better). We consider it good enough as a very first approximation, until we measure it during a tuning process and include it in a configuration file Signed-off-by: Jean-Michel Hautbois <jeanmichel.hautbois@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>

2021-10-06ipa: ipu3: Change the limits of the AWB statsJean-Michel Hautbois
Until now, the limits used to calculate the grid based on the Bayer Down Scaler configuration where taken from the kernel documentation [0]. While testing and understanding the format of the ImgU statistics, it appears that the ones defined in CrOS [1] are the correct ones. Use those.

2021-10-06ipa: ipu3: awb: Make the naming consistentJean-Michel Hautbois
The variables mix the terms cell, region and zone. It can confuse the reader, and make the algorithm more difficult to follow. Rename the local variables to be consistent with their definitions: - Cells are defined in Pixels - Zones are defined in Cells There is no "region" as such, so replace it with the correct term.

The pixel component sums for the Accumulator are inconsistent with other similar structures such as the IPAFrameContext::awb::gains. Group the red, green, and blue sums together in a struct and store them as uint64_t to reduce potential architectural differences.

2021-10-06ipa: ipu3: Rename IspStatsRegion to AccumulatorJean-Michel Hautbois
The IspStatsRegion structure was introduced as an attempt to prepare for a generic AWB algorithm structure. The structure name by itself is not explicit and it is too optimistic to try and make a generic one for now. Its role is to accumulate the pixels in a given zone. Rename it to accumulator, and remove the uncounted field at the same time. It is always possible to know how many pixels are not relevant for the algorithm by calculating total-counted. The uncounted field was only declared and not used. Amend the documentation accordingly.
