how the measured scene brightness is adjusted to reach the desired
target exposure. Constraint modes may be platform specific, and not
all constraint modes may be supported.
enum:
- name: ConstraintNormal

description: Default constraint mode.
This mode aims to balance the exposure of different parts of the
image so as to reach a reasonable average level. However, highlights
in the image may appear over-exposed and lowlights may appear
under-exposed.
- name: ConstraintHighlight

description: Highlight constraint mode.
This mode adjusts the exposure levels in order to try and avoid
over-exposing the brightest parts (highlights) of an image.
Other non-highlight parts of the image may appear under-exposed.

- AeExposureMode:
type: int32_t
description: |
Specify an exposure mode for the AE algorithm to use. These specify
how the desired total exposure is divided between the shutter time
and the sensor's analogue gain. The exposure modes are platform
specific, and not all exposure modes may be supported.
enum:

value: 1
description: Exposure mode allowing only short exposure times.
- name: ExposureLong
value: 2
description: Exposure mode allowing long exposure times.
- name: ExposureCustom
value: 3
description: Custom exposure mode.
- ExposureValue:
type: float
description: |
Specify an Exposure Value (EV) parameter. The EV parameter will only be
applied if the AE algorithm is currently enabled.
By convention EV adjusts the exposure as log2. For example
EV = [-2, -1, 0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, 2] results in an exposure adjustment
of [1/4x, 1/2x, 1/sqrt(2)x, 1x, sqrt(2)x, 2x, 4x].
\sa AeEnable
- ExposureTime:
type: int32_t
description: |
Exposure time (shutter speed) for the frame applied in the sensor
device. This value is specified in micro-seconds.
Setting this value means that it is now fixed and the AE algorithm may
not change it. Setting it back to zero returns it to the control of the
AE algorithm.
\sa AnalogueGain AeEnable
\todo Document the interactions between AeEnable and setting a fixed
value for this control. Consider interactions with other AE features,
such as aperture and aperture/shutter priority mode, and decide if
control of which features should be automatically adjusted shouldn't
better be handled through a separate AE mode control.
- AnalogueGain:
type: float
description: |
Analogue gain value applied in the sensor device.
The value of the control specifies the gain multiplier applied to all
colour channels. This value cannot be lower than 1.0.
Setting this value means that it is now fixed and the AE algorithm may
not change it. Setting it back to zero returns it to the control of the
AE algorithm.
\sa ExposureTime AeEnable
\todo Document the interactions between AeEnable and setting a fixed
value for this control. Consider interactions with other AE features,
such as aperture and aperture/shutter priority mode, and decide if
control of which features should be automatically adjusted shouldn't
better be handled through a separate AE mode control.
- Brightness:
type: float
description: |
Specify a fixed brightness parameter. Positive values (up to 1.0)
produce brighter images; negative values (up to -1.0) produce darker
images and 0.0 leaves pixels unchanged.
- Contrast:
type: float
description: |
Specify a fixed contrast parameter. Normal contrast is given by the
value 1.0; larger values produce images with more contrast.
- Lux:
type: float
description: |
Report an estimate of the current illuminance level in lux. The Lux
control can only be returned in metadata.
- AwbEnable:
type: bool
description: |
Enable or disable the AWB.
\sa ColourGains
# AwbMode needs further attention:
# - Auto-generate max enum value.
# - Better handling of custom types.
- AwbMode:
type: int32_t
description: |
Specify the range of illuminants to use for the AWB algorithm. The modes
supported are platform specific, and not all modes may be supported.

- AwbLocked:
type: bool
description: |
Report the lock status of a running AWB algorithm.
If the AWB algorithm is locked the value shall be set to true, if it's
converging it shall be set to false. If the AWB algorithm is not
running the control shall not be present in the metadata control list.
\sa AwbEnable
- ColourGains:
type: float
description: |
Pair of gain values for the Red and Blue colour channels, in that
order. ColourGains can only be applied in a Request when the AWB is
disabled.
\sa AwbEnable
size: [2]
- ColourTemperature:
type: int32_t
description: Report the current estimate of the colour temperature, in
kelvin, for this frame. The ColourTemperature control can only be
returned in metadata.
- Saturation:
type: float
description: |
Specify a fixed saturation parameter. Normal saturation is given by
the value 1.0; larger values produce more saturated colours; 0.0
produces a greyscale image.
- SensorBlackLevels:
type: int32_t
description: |
Reports the sensor black levels used for processing a frame, in the
order R, Gr, Gb, B. These values are returned as numbers out of a 16-bit
pixel range (as if pixels ranged from 0 to 65535). The SensorBlackLevels
control can only be returned in metadata.
size: [4]
- Sharpness:
type: float
description: |
A value of 0.0 means no sharpening. The minimum value means
minimal sharpening, and shall be 0.0 unless the camera can't
disable sharpening completely. The default value shall give a
"reasonable" level of sharpening, suitable for most use cases.
The maximum value may apply extremely high levels of sharpening,
higher than anyone could reasonably want. Negative values are
not allowed. Note also that sharpening is not applied to raw
streams.
- FocusFoM:
type: int32_t
description: |
Reports a Figure of Merit (FoM) to indicate how in-focus the frame is.
A larger FocusFoM value indicates a more in-focus frame. This control
depends on the IPA to gather ISP statistics from the defined focus
region, and combine them in a suitable way to generate a FocusFoM value.
In this respect, it is not necessarily aimed at providing a way to
implement a focus algorithm by the application, rather an indication of
how in-focus a frame is.
- ColourCorrectionMatrix:
type: float
description: |
The 3x3 matrix that converts camera RGB to sRGB within the
imaging pipeline. This should describe the matrix that is used
after pixels have been white-balanced, but before any gamma
transformation. The 3x3 matrix is stored in conventional reading
order in an array of 9 floating point values.
size: [3x3]
- ScalerCrop:
type: Rectangle
description: |
Sets the image portion that will be scaled to form the whole of
the final output image. The (x,y) location of this rectangle is
relative to the PixelArrayActiveAreas that is being used. The units
remain native sensor pixels, even if the sensor is being used in
a binning or skipping mode.
This control is only present when the pipeline supports scaling. Its
maximum valid value is given by the properties::ScalerCropMaximum
property, and the two can be used to implement digital zoom.
- DigitalGain:
type: float
description: |
Digital gain value applied during the processing steps applied
to the image as captured from the sensor.
The global digital gain factor is applied to all the colour channels
of the RAW image. Different pipeline models are free to
specify how the global gain factor applies to each separate
channel.
If an imaging pipeline applies digital gain in distinct
processing steps, this value indicates their total sum.
Pipelines are free to decide how to adjust each processing
step to respect the received gain factor and shall report
their total value in the request metadata.
- FrameDuration:
type: int64_t
description: |
The instantaneous frame duration from start of frame exposure to start
of next exposure, expressed in microseconds. This control is meant to
be returned in metadata.
- FrameDurationLimits:
type: int64_t
description: |
The minimum and maximum (in that order) frame duration,
expressed in microseconds.
When provided by applications, the control specifies the sensor frame
duration interval the pipeline has to use. This limits the largest
exposure time the sensor can use. For example, if a maximum frame
duration of 33ms is requested (corresponding to 30 frames per second),
the sensor will not be able to raise the exposure time above 33ms.
A fixed frame duration is achieved by setting the minimum and maximum
values to be the same. Setting both values to 0 reverts to using the
IPA provided defaults.
The maximum frame duration provides the absolute limit to the shutter
speed computed by the AE algorithm and it overrides any exposure mode
setting specified with controls::AeExposureMode. Similarly, when a
manual exposure time is set through controls::ExposureTime, it also
gets clipped to the limits set by this control. When reported in
metadata, the control expresses the minimum and maximum frame
durations used after being clipped to the sensor provided frame
duration limits.
\sa AeExposureMode
\sa ExposureTime
\todo Define how to calculate the capture frame rate by
defining controls to report additional delays introduced by
the capture pipeline or post-processing stages (ie JPEG
conversion, frame scaling).
\todo Provide an explicit definition of default control values, for
this and all other controls.
size: [2]
- SensorTimestamp:
type: int64_t
description: |
The time when the first row of the image sensor active array is exposed.
The timestamp, expressed in nanoseconds, represents a monotonically
increasing counter since the system boot time, as defined by the
Linux-specific CLOCK_BOOTTIME clock id.
The SensorTimestamp control can only be returned in metadata.
\todo Define how the sensor timestamp has to be used in the reprocessing
use case.
