The black level is likely to get updated, if ever, only after exposure
or gain changes. Don't compute its possible updates if exposure and
gain are unchanged.
It's probably not worth trying to implement something more
sophisticated. Better to spend the effort on supporting tuning files.

This is the last step to fully convert software ISP to Algorithm-based
processing.
The newly introduced frameContext.sensor parameters are set, and the
updated code moved, before calling Algorithm::process() to have the
values up-to-date in stats processing.

Use the standard libcamera mechanism to report the "current" controls
rather than delaying updates by counting from the last update.
A problem is that with software ISP we cannot be sure about the sensor
delay. The original implementation simply skips exposure updates for 2
frames, which should be enough in most cases. After this change, we
assume the delay being exactly 2 frames, which may or may not be correct
and may work with outdated values if the delay is shorter.
According to Kieran, the wrong parts are also wrong on the
IPU3/RKISP1/Mali pipelines and only RPi have this correct. We need to
fix this, by correctly specifying the gains in the libipa camera sensor
helpers. The sooner the better because this change could introduce a
risk of increasing oscillations.
This patch also prepares moving exposure+gain to an algorithm module
where the original delay mechanism would be a (possibly unnecessary)
complication.

It's more natural to represent color gains as floating point numbers
rather than using a particular pixel-related representation.
double is used rather than float because it's a more common floating
point type in libcamera algorithms. Otherwise there is no obvious
reason to select one over the other here.
The constructed color tables still use integer representation for
efficiency.
Black level still uses pixel (integer) values, for consistency with
other libcamera parts.

After black level handling has been moved to an algorithm module, white
balance and the construction of color tables can be moved to algorithm
modules too.
This time, the moved code is split between stats processing and
parameter construction methods. It is also split to two algorithm
modules:
- White balance computation.
- Gamma table computation and color lookup tables construction. While
this applies the color gains computed by the white balance algorithm,
it is not directly related to white balance. And we may want to
modify the color lookup tables in future according to other parameters
than just gamma and white balance gains.
Gamma table computation and color lookup tables construction could be
split to separate algorithms too. But there is no big need for that now
so they are kept together for simplicity.
This is the only part of the software ISP algorithms that sets the
parameters so emitting setIspParams can be moved to prepare() method.
A more natural representation of the gains (and black level) would be
floating point numbers. This is not done here in order to minimize
changes in code movements. It will be addressed in a followup patch.

The black level determination, already present as a separate class, can
be moved to the prepared Algorithm processing structure. It is the
first of the current software ISP algorithms that is called in the stats
processing sequence, which means it is also the first one that should be
moved to the new structure. Stats processing starts with calling
Algorithm-based processing so the call order of the algorithms is
retained.
Movement of this algorithm is relatively straightforward because all it
does is processing stats.
The comment about getting black level from the tuning files is dropped.
The black level will be taken from CameraSensorHelper if available and
that will be implemented in one of the followup patches.
Black level is now recomputed on each stats processing. In a future
patch, after DelayedControls are used, this will be changed to recompute
the black level only after exposure/gain changes.
The black level depends on the sensor used, the computed value can be
reused in a followup capture sessions with the same sensor. Thus it is
sufficient to (re)set the initial value in BlackLevel::init.

This patch adds frame and bufferId arguments to stats related calls.
Although the parameters are currently unused, because frame ids are not
tracked and used and the stats buffer is passed around directly rather
than being referred by its id, they bring the internal APIs closer to
their counterparts in hardware pipelines.
It serves as a preparation for followup patches that will introduce:
- Frame number tracking in order to switch to DelayedControls
(software ISP TODO #11 + #12).
- A ring buffer for stats in order to improve passing the stats
(software ISP TODO #2).
Frame and buffer ids are unrelated for the given purposes but since they
are passed together at the same places, the change is implemented as a
single patch rather than two, basically the same, patches.

Software ISP image processing algorithms are currently defined in a
simplified way, different from other libcamera pipelines. This is not
good for several reasons:
- It makes the software ISP code harder to understand due to its
different structuring.
- Adding more algorithms may make the code harder to understand
generally.
- Mass libcamera code changes may not be easily applicable to software
ISP.
- Algorithm sharing with other pipelines is not easily possible.
This patch introduces basic software ISP IPA skeletons structured
similarly to the other pipelines. The newly added files are currently
not used or compiled and the general skeleton structures don't contain
anything particular. It is just a preparation step for a larger
refactoring and the code will be actually used and extended as needed in
followup patches.

IPA modules use custom namespaces for all their internal components to
avoid namespace clashes. The simple IPA module for the software ISP uses
libcamera::ipa::soft for this purpose. It however defines an internal
class named BlackLevel in the root of the libcamera namespace, making it
prone to clashes. Move it to the ipa::soft namespace along with the rest
of the code.

as IPA tests. This was done to ensure that the modules and tests get

Constructing the color mapping tables is related to stats rather than
debayering, where they are applied. Let's move the corresponding code
to stats processing.
The same applies to the auxiliary gamma table. As the gamma value is
currently fixed and used in a single place, with the temporary exception
mentioned below, there is no need to share it anywhere anymore.
It's necessary to initialize SoftwareIsp::debayerParams_ to default
values. These initial values are used for the first two frames, before
they are changed based on determined stats. To avoid sharing the gamma
value constant in artificial ways, we use 0.5 directly in the
initialization. This all is not a particularly elegant thing to do,
such a code belongs conceptually to the similar code in stats
processing, but doing better is left for larger refactoring.
This is a preliminary step towards building this functionality on top of
libipa/algorithm.h, which should follow.

The white balance computation didn't consider black level. This is
wrong because then the computed ratios are off when they are computed
from the whole brightness range rather than the sensor range.
This patch adjusts white balance computation for the black level. There
is no need to change white balance application in debayering as this is
already applied after black level correction.
Exposure computation already subtracts black level, no changes are
needed there.

The PipelineHandlerFactoryBase class has a name that is propagated to
the PipelineHandler instance it creates.
In present implementation, this name comes from the
REGISTER_PIPELINE_HANDLER registration macro. It corresponds to the
stringified name of the PipelineHandler derived class. Therefore,
PipelineHandler factories and instances names can be quite long such as
"PipelineHandlerRkISP1".
A libcamera user may have to explicitly refer to a PipelineHandler name
for configuration purpose: one usage of the name can be to define a
pipeline handlers match list and their priorities. It is desired, for
user convenience, to use a short name to designate a pipeline handler.
Reusing the short pipeline names already defined in the meson option
files is an existing and consistent way of naming pipelines.
This change adds an explicit name parameter to the
REGISTER_PIPELINE_HANDLER registration macro. That parameter is used to
define the name of a pipeline handler factory, instead of the current
pipeline handler class name.
Each pipeline registration is updated accordingly. The short name
assigned corresponds to the pipeline directory name in the source tree.
It is consistent with pipelines names used in meson.
Changing the pipeline name has an impact on the IPA modules: each module
defines a IPAModuleInfo structure. This structure has a pipelineName
member defining the pipeline handler name it shall match with.
Therefore, each internal IPA module definition has to be changed to have
its IPAModuleInfo pipelineName name updated with the short pipeline
handler name.
In addition to this pipelineName member, the IPAModuleInfo structure
also has a name member, associated to the IPA module name. Having
renamed the pipelines to a short name, the pipeline name and the IPA
module names of the IPAModuleInfo structure are the same: for in-tree
IPA, they correspond to the respective pipeline and IPA subdirectories
in the source tree. However the IPA name could be different, for
instance with a close source IPA implementation built out-of-tree. Thus,
it makes sense to keep the IPA name in that structure, as the 2
definitions may not always be redundant.

Source files in libcamera start by a comment block header, which
includes the file name and a one-line description of the file contents.
While the latter is useful to get a quick overview of the file contents
at a glance, the former is mostly a source of inconvenience. The name in
the comments can easily get out of sync with the file name when files
are renamed, and copy & paste during development have often lead to
incorrect names being used to start with.
Readers of the source code are expected to know which file they're
looking it. Drop the file name from the header comment block.
The change was generated with the following script:
----------------------------------------
dirs="include/libcamera src test utils"
declare -rA patterns=(
['c']=' \* '
['cpp']=' \* '
['h']=' \* '
['py']='# '
['sh']='# '
)
for ext in ${!patterns[@]} ; do
files=$(for dir in $dirs ; do find $dir -name "*.${ext}" ; done)
pattern=${patterns[${ext}]}
for file in $files ; do
name=$(basename ${file})
sed -i "s/^\(${pattern}\)${name} - /\1/" "$file"
done
done
----------------------------------------
This misses several files that are out of sync with the comment block
header. Those will be addressed separately and manually.

Black may not be represented as 0 pixel value for given hardware, it may
be higher. If this is not compensated then various problems may occur
such as low contrast or suboptimal exposure.
The black pixel value can be either retrieved from a tuning file for the
given hardware, or automatically on the fly. The former is the right
and correct method, while the latter can be used when a tuning file is
not available for the given hardware. Since there is currently no
support for tuning files in software ISP, the automatic, hardware
independent way, is always used. Support for tuning files should be
added in future but it will require more work than this patch.
The patch looks at the image histogram and assumes that black starts
when pixel values start occurring on the left. A certain amount of the
darkest pixels is ignored; it doesn't matter whether they represent
various kinds of noise or are real, they are better to omit in any case
to make the image looking better. It also doesn't matter whether the
darkest pixels occur around the supposed black level or are spread
between 0 and the black level, the difference is not important.
An arbitrary threshold of 2% darkest pixels is applied; there is no
magic about that value.
The patch assumes that the black values for different colors are the
same and doesn't attempt any other non-primitive enhancements. It
cannot completely replace tuning files and simplicity, while providing
visible benefit, is its goal. Anything more sophisticated is left for
future patches.
A possible cheap enhancement, if needed, could be setting exposure +
gain to minimum values temporarily, before setting the black level. In
theory, the black level should be fixed but it may not be reached in all
images. For this reason, the patch updates black level only if the
observed value is lower than the current one; it should be never
increased.
The purpose of the patch is to compensate for hardware properties.
General image contrast enhancements are out of scope of this patch.
Stats are still gathered as an uncorrected histogram, to avoid any
confusion and to represent the raw image data. Exposure must be
determined after the black level correction -- it has no influence on
the sub-black area and must be correct after applying the black level
correction. The granularity of the histogram is increased from 16 to 64
to provide a better precision (there is no theory behind either of those
numbers).
