[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] ipa: raspberrypi: Handle AEC/AGC flicker controls

Tue Mar 28 10:55:21 CEST 2023


We handle the flicker modes by passing the correct period to the
AEC/AGC algorithm which already contains the necessary code.

The "Auto" mode, as well as reporting the detected flicker period via
the "AeFlickerDetected" metadata, are unsupported for now.
