[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 2/5] ipa: rkisp1: Introduce Black Level Correction

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

In order to have the proper pixel levels, apply a fixed black level
correction, based on the imx219 tuning file in RPi. The value is 4096 on
16 bits, and the pipeline for RkISP1 is on 12 bits, scale it.

+ * sensors do not always report a signal level of '0' for black. Pixels at or
+ * below this level should be considered black. To achieve that, the RkISP BLC
+ * algorithm subtracts a configurable offset from all pixels.
+ *
+ * The black level can be measured at runtime from an optical dark region of the
+ * camera sensor, or measured during the camera tuning process. The first option
+ * isn't currently supported.
