[PATCH v6 5/7] libcamera: pipeline: Read config and register cameras based on the config

Harvey Yang chenghaoyang at chromium.org
Fri Jul 26 11:54:26 CEST 2024


From: Konami Shu <konamiz at google.com>

- Use Yaml::Parser to parse the config
- Add config file at "virtual/data/virtual.yaml"
- README.md contains the documentation for the format of config file and
  the implementation of Parser class.
- Add Parser class to parse config file in Virtual
pipeline handler
- Add header file of virtual.cpp to use VirtualCameraData class in
  Parser class
- Parse test patterns
- Raise Error when the width of a resolution is an odd number

+# Virtual Pipeline Handler
+
+Virtual pipeline handler emulates fake external camera(s) on ChromeOS for testing.
+
+## Parse config file and register cameras
+
+- The config file is located at `src/libcamera/pipeline/virtual/data/virtual.yaml`
+
+### Config File Format
+The config file contains the information about cameras' properties to register.
+The config file should be a yaml file with dictionary of the cameraIds
+associated with their properties as top level. The default value will be applied when any property is empty.
+
+Each camera block is a dictionary, containing the following keys:
+- `supported_formats` (list of `VirtualCameraData::Resolution`, optional) : List of supported resolution and frame rates of the emulated camera
+    - `width` (`unsigned int`, default=1920): Width of the window resolution. This needs to be even.
+    - `height` (`unsigned int`, default=1080): Height of the window resolution.
+    - `frame_rates` (list of `int`, default=`[30,60]` ): Range of the frame rate. The list has to be two values of the lower bound and the upper bound of the frame rate.
+- `test_pattern` (`string`, default="bars"): Which test pattern to use as frames. The options are "bars", "lines".
+- `location` (`string`, default="front"): The location of the camera. Support "front" and "back". This is displayed in qcam camera selection window but this does not change the output.
+- `model` (`string`, default="Unknown"): The model name of the camera. This is displayed in qcam camera selection window but this does not change the output.
+
+A sample config file:
+```
+---
+"Virtual0":
+  supported_formats:
+  - width: 1920
+    height: 1080
+    frame_rates:
+    - 30
+    - 60
+  - width: 1680
+    height: 1050
+    frame_rates:
+    - 70
+    - 80
+  test_pattern: "bars"
+  location: "front"
+  model: "Virtual Video Device"
+"Virtual1":
+  supported_formats:
+  - width: 800
+  test_pattern: "lines"
+  location: "back"
+  model: "Virtual Video Device1"
+"Virtual2":
+```
+
+### Implementation
+
+`Parser` class provides methods to parse the config file to register cameras
+in Virtual Pipeline Handler. `parseConfigFile()` is exposed to use in
+Virtual Pipeline Handler.
+
+This is the procedure of the Parser class:
+1. `parseConfigFile()` parses the config file to `YamlObject` using `YamlParser::parse()`.
+    - Parse the top level of config file which are the camera ids and look into each camera properties.
+2. For each camera, `parseCameraConfigData()` returns a camera with the configuration.
+    - The methods in the next step fill the data with the pointer to the Camera object.
+    - If the config file contains invalid configuration, this method returns nullptr. The camera will be skipped.
+3. Parse each property and register the data.
+    - `parseSupportedFormats()`: Parses `supported_formats` in the config, which contains resolutions and frame rates.
+    - `parseTestPattern()`: Parses `test_pattern` in the config.
+    - `parseLocation()`: Parses `location` in the config.
+    - `parseModel()`: Parses `model` in the config.
+4. Back to `parseConfigFile()` and append the camera configuration.
+5. Returns a list of camera configurations.
