Hi All,
Here is v4 of the patch-set to add Software ISP support
to libcamera / to the simple pipeline-handler.
Changes in v4 vs v3:
- Andrey:
[05/18] "libcamera: shared_mem_object: reorganize the code and document the SharedMemObject class"
- documentation fixes
[09/18] "libcamera: ipa: add Soft IPA"
- Use int32_t for again*_ and exposure*_ as this matches
the value the corresponding ControlValue::get() returns
- Check for mmap() returning MAP_FAILED on error
- Drop std::move() called on const SharedFD & argument
- Replace #defines (EXPOSURE_OPTIMAL_VALUE etc) with const expressions
- Use std::clamp() to keep exposure_ and again_ between the *_min_ and
the *_max_
- add comment on non-linear gain value vs gain code
[10/18] "libcamera: introduce SoftwareIsp"
- Fix the check of if sharedParams_ were created OK
new [18/18] "libcamera: Soft IPA: use CameraSensorHelper for analogue gain"
- One can check if his camera sensor has the CameraSensorHelper implemented with something
like 'grep ^REGISTER_CAMERA_SENSOR_HELPER src/ipa/libipa/camera_sensor_helper.cpp'. If
the camera sensor used has no CameraSensorHelper, the Soft IPA works as before this patch.
This fallback option doesn't make the code nicer, and makes it harder to change the AE/AGC
algorithm to work faster, but I decided to keep it for now.
- Milan:
[17/18] "libcamera: software_isp: Apply black level compensation"
- New patch adding black-level compensation autmatically detecting the
sensor blacklevel
- Hans:
- Small typo changes in various comments/docs
- Replace typedef-s with using
CI pipeline: at least with v3 there was 1 issue with this series vs
the CI pipeline which is not resolved yet, unit test configuration
failed to build:
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/libcamera-softisp/-/jobs/55028866#L357
The issue is that the simple pipeline handler will not build unless
-Dipas=simple is passed when configuring.
The missing header here is autogenerated.
I see that the ipu3 pipeline handler also unconditionally
includes the auto-generated:
#include <libcamera/ipa/ipu3_ipa_interface.h>
#include <libcamera/ipa/ipu3_ipa_proxy.h>
headers, so it will show similar erros when using -Dpipelines=ipu3
without -Dipas=ipu3 .
So I wonder how to fix this. Is there some meson magic
somewhere to automatically enable the ipu3 ipa when the
ipu3 pipeline is enabled which we can copy for the simple
pipeline ?
Changes in v3 vs v2:
- The Software ISP now is always build when building the simple pipeline
handler, no more -Dpipelines=simple/simple. Instead whether the SoftISP
is used or not is based on the media-controller driver. For now it is
only enabled for the "qcom-camss" driver (Andrey)
- SoftISP factory has been removed, there is a just a single SoftwareISP class now
- Fix the multi-threading issues (Andrey)
- Fully document the SharedMemObject and DmaHeap classes (Andrey)
- Drop SwStats base (integrate into SwStatsCpu class)
- Move headers for classes only used by the SoftISP into src/libcamera/software_isp
- Move SwStats / SwDebayer docs into .cpp and extend it
- Rename many foo_bar symbols to fooBar
- Add constexpr kFooBar values for varies hardcoded sizes like
the yHistoGram having 16 bins and the gammalookuptable having 1024 entries
- Make startFrame() and finishFrame() normal methods instead of
using function pointers for these
- Document how/why an array of src pointers is passed to
the debayer functions
- 12bpp unpacked raw bayer input support (Kieran)
- Add "Software ISP benchmarking" doc
Changes in v2 vs v1:
- Integrated Dennis, Martti and Toon's auto-exposure algorithm
based on the paper which they found which gives us a nice
relatively simple AEC + AGC algorithm
TODO: Add link to paper to source + commit-message
- Integrated Dennis' doxygen comments for all new classes, no more warnings!
- Move AWB gain calculations to the IPA (Andrey)
- Added 8 bpp and 10 bpp unpacked raw bayer input support (Hans)
- Use dma-buf for the output FrameBuffer-s (Andrey)
- Memcpy data from input FrameBuffers to a heap buffer on a line by line
basis to speedup debayering from uncached mem (Hans)
- This addresses all "open issues" from the v1 posting
Changes in v1 vs RFC-v2:
- Add and use SwStats[Cpu] and Debayer[Cpu] classes
- Rename linaro soft-IPA and soft-ISP implementations to simple following
the simple pipeline hander
- Integrate Pavel's swstats and debayer improvements
This has been tested on:
- Qualcomm RB5 board with a mezzanine board equipped with RPi camera v2 (Andrey)
- Lenovo x13s, sc8280xp (Bryan)
- Pinephone (Pavel)
- Debix Model A (Milan)
- Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga X1 yoga gen7/8, Alder Lake/Raptor Lake IPU6EP +
ov2740 10bpp packed + unpacked (Dennis / Hans)
- Dell Latitude 9420, Tiger Lake IPU6 + ov01a1s (RGBI) sensor
(Martti, requires IGIG_GBGR_IGIG_GRGB patches on top)

git branch for v2 of the patch set:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/libcamera-softisp/-/commits/SoftwareISP-v05
git branch for v1 of the patch set:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/libcamera-softisp/-/commits/SoftwareISP-v04
Old RFC-v2 cover-letter with small updates:
Here is an implementation of Software ISP and Software IPA
which provide debayering and implementation of image processing
algorithms for systems without a hardware ISP, or in cases when
there are no public drivers for the hardware ISP present in the
system.
The Software IPA has auto exposure/AGC and AWB. For the AGC
the analogue gain control of the camera sensor is used (if
available).
The 6th patch renames some variables in the simple pipeline
handler for the Software ISP to use the same buffer handling
code as the Converter currently does. This lets one to
avoid adding extra code to the pipeline handler, but also
makes the Software ISP and the Converter mutually exclusive.
The Software ISP / IPA are intended to be used with the simple
pipeline handler. The pipeline handler doesn't interact with
the Software IPA directly - the Software IPA is hidden behind
the Software ISP interface. To use the Software ISP the build
must be configured with -Dpipelines=simple -Dipas=simple .
This patch set uses SharedMemObject class used by the RPi pipeline
handler - the second patch in the series moves the header file
to a common directory.
This patch set has been tested on Qualcomm RB5 board with
a mezzanine board equipped with RPi camera v2 (not the
standard RB5 camera mezzanine).
git branch for the RFC-v2 patch set:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/libcamera-softisp/-/commits/SoftwareISP-v03
RFC-v1 of the patch set:
https://patchwork.libcamera.org/cover/19262/
Changes in RFC v2 vs RFC v1:
- patches are restructured and reordered
- the Software IPA is hidden behind the Software ISP interface. The
pipeline handler doesn't interact with the Software IPA directly
- instantiation of the Software ISP / IPA is configurable (at build
time)
- comment explaining the implementation limitations is added to
SwIspLinaro::IspWorker::debayerRaw10P()

Hans
