Hi All,

Here is v2 of the patch-set to add Software ISP support
to libcamera / to the simple pipeline-handler.

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 this v2 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 implementation of the Software ISP is a reference one.
A naive AWB alorithm is implemented as part of a function which
does debayering and statistics calculations - the algorithm part
is to be moved to the IPA in the next version of the patch set.
And for debayering itself there is already a more efficient
implementation by Hans de Goede. This patch set is currently using
the earlier debayering implementation as it is less lines of code
and is OK for the initial discussion.
Only RAW10P format from the sensor is currently supported, but
other debayering functions can be easily added (which of them to
call is decided based on the input format).

The Software IPA has only auto exposure and AGC. For the AGC
the analogue gain control of the camera sensor is used (if
available). The algorithm is very much simplified, and is
mostly included as a reference code.

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/simple -Dipas=simple/simple
and the Converter must not be used (the latter is hardcoded
in the simple pipeline handler).
If the build is configured with just
  -Dpipelines=simple
the Software ISP / IPA are not used, and the simple pipeline
handler works in the same way as without this patchset.

"simple" in the
  -Dpipelines=simple/simple -Dipas=simple/simple
is the name of the Software ISP / IPA implementation.
  -Dpipelines=simple/<something else> -Dipas=simple/<something else>
should work too if another implementation were added. What
implementation to use is the build time choice, only one
implementation is included into the build.

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()

Regards,

Hans
