Detailed Description

Top-level libcamera namespace.

Typedef Documentation

◆ ControlIdMap

libcamera::ControlIdMap

A map of numerical control ID to ControlId.

The map is used by ControlList instances to access controls by numerical IDs. A global map of all libcamera controls is provided by controls::controls.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ ConnectionType

enum libcamera::ConnectionType

Connection type for asynchronous communication.

This enumeration describes the possible types of asynchronous communication between a sender and a receiver. It applies to Signal::emit() and Object::invokeMethod().

Enumerator
ConnectionTypeAuto	If the sender and the receiver live in the same thread, ConnectionTypeDirect is used. Otherwise ConnectionTypeQueued is used.
ConnectionTypeDirect	The receiver is invoked immediately and synchronously in the sender's thread.
ConnectionTypeQueued	The receiver is invoked asynchronously. Invoke the receiver asynchronously in its thread when control returns to the thread's event loop. The sender proceeds without waiting for the invocation to complete.
ConnectionTypeBlocking	The receiver is invoked synchronously. If the sender and the receiver live in the same thread, this is equivalent to ConnectionTypeDirect. Otherwise, the receiver is invoked asynchronously in its thread when control returns to the thread's event loop. The sender blocks until the receiver signals the completion of the invocation.

◆ ControlType

enum libcamera::ControlType

Define the data type of a Control.

Enumerator
ControlTypeNone	Invalid type, for empty values
ControlTypeBool	The control stores a boolean value
ControlTypeByte	The control stores a byte value as an unsigned 8-bit integer
ControlTypeInteger32	The control stores a 32-bit integer value
ControlTypeInteger64	The control stores a 64-bit integer value
ControlTypeFloat	The control stores a 32-bit floating point value
ControlTypeString	The control stores a string value as an array of char

◆ ipa_controls_id_map_type

enum libcamera::ipa_controls_id_map_type

Enumerates the different control id map types.

Each ControlInfoMap and ControlList refers to a control id map that associates the ControlId references to a numerical identifier. During the serialization procedure the raw pointers to the ControlId instances cannot be transported on the wire, hence their numerical id is used to identify them in the serialized data buffer. At deserialization time it is required to associate back to the numerical id the ControlId instance it represents. This enumeration describes which ControlIdMap should be used to perform such operation.

Enumerator
IPA_CONTROL_ID_MAP_CONTROLS	The numerical control identifier are resolved to a ControlId * using the global controls::controls id map.
IPA_CONTROL_ID_MAP_PROPERTIES	The numerical control identifier are resolved to a ControlId * using the global properties::properties id map.
IPA_CONTROL_ID_MAP_V4L2	ControlId for V4L2 defined controls are created by the video device that enumerates them, and are not available across the IPC boundaries. The deserializer shall create new ControlId instances for them as well as store them in a dedicated ControlIdMap. Only lookup by numerical id can be performed on de-serialized ControlInfoMap that represents V4L2 controls.

◆ LoggingTarget

enum libcamera::LoggingTarget

Log destination type.

Enumerator
LoggingTargetNone	No logging destination. See also Logger::logSetTarget
LoggingTargetSyslog	Log to syslog. See also Logger::logSetTarget
LoggingTargetFile	Log to file. See also Logger::logSetFile
LoggingTargetStream	Log to stream. See also Logger::logSetStream

◆ LogSeverity

enum libcamera::LogSeverity

Log message severity

Enumerator
LogDebug	Debug message
LogInfo	Informational message
LogWarning	Warning message, signals a potential issue
LogError	Error message, signals an unrecoverable issue
LogFatal	Fatal message, signals an unrecoverable issue and aborts execution

◆ Orientation

enum libcamera::Orientation

strong

The image orientation in a memory buffer.

The Orientation enumeration describes the orientation of the images produced by the camera pipeline as they get received by the application inside memory buffers.

The image orientation expressed using the Orientation enumeration can be then inferred by applying to a naturally oriented image a multiple of a 90 degrees rotation in the clockwise direction from the origin and then by applying an optional horizontal mirroring.

The enumeration numerical values follow the ones defined by the EXIF Specification version 2.32, Tag 274 "Orientation", while the names of the enumerated values report the rotation and mirroring operations performed.

For example, Orientation::Rotate90Mirror describes the orientation obtained by rotating the image 90 degrees clockwise first and then applying a horizontal mirroring.

Enumerator
Rotate0
Rotate0Mirror
Rotate180
Rotate180Mirror
Rotate90Mirror
Rotate270
Rotate270Mirror
Rotate90

◆ StreamRole

enum libcamera::StreamRole

strong

Identify the role a stream is intended to play.

The StreamRole describes how an application intends to use a stream. Roles are specified by applications and passed to cameras, that then select the most appropriate streams and their default configurations.

Enumerator
Raw	The stream is intended to capture raw frames from the sensor.
StillCapture	The stream is intended to capture high-resolution, high-quality still images with low frame rate. The captured frames may be exposed with flash.
VideoRecording	The stream is intended to capture video for the purpose of recording or streaming. The video stream may produce a high frame rate and may be enhanced with video stabilization.
Viewfinder	The stream is intended to capture video for the purpose of display on the local screen. Trade-offs between quality and usage of system resources are acceptable.

◆ Transform

enum libcamera::Transform : int

strong

Enum to represent a 2D plane transform.

The Transform can take 8 distinct values, representing the usual 2D plane transforms listed below. Each of these transforms can be constructed out of 3 basic operations, namely a horizontal flip (mirror), a vertical flip, and a transposition (about the main diagonal). The transforms are encoded such that a single bit indicates the presence of each of the 3 basic operations:

bit 0 - presence of a horizontal flip
bit 1 - presence of a vertical flip
bit 2 - presence of a transposition.

We regard these 3 basic operations as being applied in a specific order: first the two flip operations (actually they commute, so the order between them is unimportant) and finally any transpose operation.

Functions are provided to manipulate directly the bits within the transform encoding, but there are also higher-level functions to invert and compose transforms. Transforms are composed according to the usual mathematical convention such that the right transform is applied first, and the left transform is applied second.

Finally, we have a total of 8 distinct transformations, as follows (a couple of them have additional synonyms for convenience). We illustrate each with its nominal effect on a rectangle with vertices labelled A, B, C and D.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examples_of_groups#dihedral_group_of_order_8

The set of 2D plane transforms is also known as the symmetry group of a square, described in the link. Note that the group can be generated by only 2 elements (the horizontal flip and a 90 degree rotation, for example), however, the encoding used here makes the presence of the vertical flip explicit.

Enumerator
Identity	Identity transform. A-B A-B Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D C-D Numeric value: 0 (no bits set).
Rot0	Synonym for Transform::Identity (zero degree rotation).
HFlip	Horizontal flip. A-B B-A Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D D-C Numeric value: 1 (horizontal flip bit set only).
VFlip	Vertical flip. A-B C-D Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D A-B Numeric value: 2 (vertical flip bit set only).
HVFlip	Horizontal and vertical flip (identical to a 180 degree rotation). A-B D-C Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D B-A Numeric value: 3 (horizontal and vertical flip bits set).
Rot180	Synonym for `HVFlip` (180 degree rotation).
Transpose	Transpose (about the main diagonal). A-B A-C Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D B-D Numeric value: 4 (transpose bit set only).
Rot270	Rotation by 270 degrees clockwise (90 degrees anticlockwise). A-B B-D Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D A-C Numeric value: 5 (transpose and horizontal flip bits set).
Rot90	Rotation by 90 degrees clockwise (270 degrees anticlockwise). A-B C-A Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D D-B Numeric value: 6 (transpose and vertical flip bits set).
Rot180Transpose	Rotation by 180 degrees followed by transpose (alternatively, transposition about the "opposite diagonal"). A-B D-B Input image \| \| goes to output image \| \| C-D C-A Numeric value: 7 (all bits set).

Function Documentation

Parameters

[in]	category	The log message category
[in]	severity	The log message severity
[in]	fileName	The file name where the message is logged from
[in]	line	The line number where the message is logged from

This function is used as a backend by the LOG() macro to create a log message for locations not inheriting from the Loggable class.

Returns: A log message

◆ ipaCreate()

IPAInterface* libcamera::ipaCreate ( )

Create an instance of the IPA interface.

Entry point to the IPA modules.

This function is the entry point of the IPA module. It is called by the IPA manager to create an instance of the IPA interface for each camera. When matched against with a pipeline handler, the IPAManager will construct an IPA instance for each associated Camera.

		bool	color
	)

Direct logging to a file.

Parameters

[in]	path	Full path to the log file
[in]	color	True to output colored messages

This function directs the log output to the file identified by path. The previous log target, if any, is closed, and all new log messages will be written to the new log file.

color controls whether or not the messages will be colored with standard ANSI escape codes. This is done regardless of whether path refers to a standard file or a TTY, the caller is responsible for disabling coloring when not suitable for the log target.

If the function returns an error, the log target is not changed.

Returns: Zero on success, or a negative error code otherwise

◆ logSetLevel()

void libcamera::logSetLevel	(	const char *	category,
		const char *	level
	)

Set the log level.

Parameters

[in]	category	Logging category
[in]	level	Log level

This function sets the log level of category to level. level shall be one of the following strings:

"DEBUG"
"INFO"
"WARN"
"ERROR"
"FATAL"

"*" is not a valid category for this function.

◆ logSetStream()

int libcamera::logSetStream	(	std::ostream *	stream,
		bool	color
	)

Direct logging to a stream.

Parameters

[in]	stream	Stream to send log output to
[in]	color	True to output colored messages

This function directs the log output to stream. The previous log target, if any, is closed, and all new log messages will be written to the new log stream.

color controls whether or not the messages will be colored with standard ANSI escape codes. This is done regardless of whether stream refers to a standard file or a TTY, the caller is responsible for disabling coloring when not suitable for the log target.

If the function returns an error, the log file is not changed

Returns: Zero on success, or a negative error code otherwise.

◆ logSetTarget()

int libcamera::logSetTarget ( LoggingTarget target )

Set the logging target.

Parameters

Compose two transforms into a transform that is equivalent to first applying t0 and then applying t1. For example, HFlip * Transpose performs HFlip first and then the Transpose yielding Rot270, as shown below.

             A-B                 B-A                     B-D
Input image  | |   -> HFLip ->   | |   -> Transpose ->   | |   = Rot270
             C-D                 D-C                     A-C

Note that composition is generally non-commutative for Transforms, and not the same as XOR-ing the underlying bit representations.

Returns: A Transform equivalent to applying t0 and then t1
