 3A statistics
 =============
 
-For IPU3 ImgU, the 3A statistics accelerators collect different statistics over
-an input bayer frame. Those statistics, defined in data struct :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_stats_3a`,
-are obtained from "ipu3-imgu 3a stat" metadata capture video node, which are then
-passed to user space for statistics analysis using :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface.

 Pipeline parameters
 ===================
 
-IPU3 pipeline has a number of image processing stages, each of which takes a
-set of parameters as input. The major stages of pipelines are shown here:
-
-Raw pixels -> Bayer Downscaling -> Optical Black Correction ->
-
-Linearization -> Lens Shading Correction -> White Balance / Exposure /
-
-Focus Apply -> Bayer Noise Reduction -> ANR -> Demosaicing -> Color
-
-Correction Matrix -> Gamma correction -> Color Space Conversion ->
-
-Chroma Down Scaling -> Chromatic Noise Reduction -> Total Color
-
-Correction -> XNR3 -> TNR -> DDR
-
-The table below presents a description of the above algorithms.
-
-======================== =======================================================
-Name			 Description
-======================== =======================================================
-Optical Black Correction Optical Black Correction block subtracts a pre-defined
-			 value from the respective pixel values to obtain better
-			 image quality.
-			 Defined in :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_obgrid_param`.
-Linearization		 This algo block uses linearization parameters to
-			 address non-linearity sensor effects. The Lookup table
-			 table is defined in
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_isp_lin_vmem_params`.
-SHD			 Lens shading correction is used to correct spatial
-			 non-uniformity of the pixel response due to optical
-			 lens shading. This is done by applying a different gain
-			 for each pixel. The gain, black level etc are
-			 configured in :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_shd_config_static`.
-BNR			 Bayer noise reduction block removes image noise by
-			 applying a bilateral filter.
-			 See :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_bnr_static_config` for details.
-ANR			 Advanced Noise Reduction is a block based algorithm
-			 that performs noise reduction in the Bayer domain. The
-			 convolution matrix etc can be found in
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_anr_config`.
-Demosaicing		 Demosaicing converts raw sensor data in Bayer format
-			 into RGB (Red, Green, Blue) presentation. Then add
-			 outputs of estimation of Y channel for following stream
-			 processing by Firmware. The struct is defined as
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_dm_config`. (TODO)
-Color Correction	 Color Correction algo transforms sensor specific color
-			 space to the standard "sRGB" color space. This is done
-			 by applying 3x3 matrix defined in
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_ccm_mat_config`.
-Gamma correction	 Gamma correction :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_gamma_config` is a
-			 basic non-linear tone mapping correction that is
-			 applied per pixel for each pixel component.
-CSC			 Color space conversion transforms each pixel from the
-			 RGB primary presentation to YUV (Y: brightness,
-			 UV: Luminance) presentation. This is done by applying
-			 a 3x3 matrix defined in
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_csc_mat_config`
-CDS			 Chroma down sampling
-			 After the CSC is performed, the Chroma Down Sampling
-			 is applied for a UV plane down sampling by a factor
-			 of 2 in each direction for YUV 4:2:0 using a 4x2
-			 configurable filter :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_cds_params`.
-CHNR			 Chroma noise reduction
-			 This block processes only the chrominance pixels and
-			 performs noise reduction by cleaning the high
-			 frequency noise.
-			 See struct :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_yuvp1_chnr_config`.
-TCC			 Total color correction as defined in struct
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_yuvp2_tcc_static_config`.
-XNR3			 eXtreme Noise Reduction V3 is the third revision of
-			 noise reduction algorithm used to improve image
-			 quality. This removes the low frequency noise in the
-			 captured image. Two related structs are  being defined,
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_isp_xnr3_params` for ISP data memory
-			 and :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_isp_xnr3_vmem_params` for vector
-			 memory.
-TNR			 Temporal Noise Reduction block compares successive
-			 frames in time to remove anomalies / noise in pixel
-			 values. :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_isp_tnr3_vmem_params` and
-			 :c:type:`ipu3_uapi_isp_tnr3_params` are defined for ISP
-			 vector and data memory respectively.

-A few stages of the pipeline will be executed by firmware running on the ISP
