2024-08-07libcamera: Drop libcamera_generated_ipa_headers from sourcesLaurent Pinchart
The libcamera_generated_ipa_headers variable, containing the list of generated IPA headers, is listed in the sources of IPA modules, as well as IPA tests. This was done to ensure that the modules and tests get rebuilt when the generate IPA headers change. However, the dependency is already handled through the libcamera_private dependency object, specified for all those modules and tests. There's no need to list the IPA generated headers as sources. Drop them. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Scally <dan.scally@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com>
2024-06-11meson: Group libipa and libipa_includes in a dependency objectLaurent Pinchart
Many build targets link with libipa and need libipa_includes. Group them in a libipa_dep dependency object to simplify the users.

2024-04-16libcamera: software_isp: Apply black level compensationMilan Zamazal
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).

2024-04-16libcamera: ipa: Add Soft IPAAndrey Konovalov
Define the Soft IPA main and event interfaces, add the Soft IPA implementation. The current src/ipa/meson.build assumes the IPA name to match the pipeline name. For this reason "-Dipas=simple" is used for the Soft IPA module. Auto exposure/gain and AWB implementation by Dennis, Toon and Martti. Auto exposure/gain targets a Mean Sample Value of 2.5 following the MSV calculation algorithm from: https://www.araa.asn.au/acra/acra2007/papers/paper84final.pdf Use CameraSensorHelper to convert the analogue gain code read from the camera sensor into real analogue gain value. In the future this makes it possible to use faster AE/AGC algorithm. Right now the CameraSensorHelper lets us use the full range of analogue gain values. If there is no CameraSensorHelper for the camera sensor in use, a warning log message is printed.
