Hi everyone, This RFC patch series include new 4 controls ID for digital camera. I about to suggest these controls by the necessity enabling the M-5MOLS sensor's function, and I hope to discuss this in here. Any opinions and thoughts are very welcome! It's good to connect Sylwester's suggestion for discussing. - http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg39907.html But it's no problem even if it is considered as seperated subject. 1. White Balance Peset ====================== Some camera hardware provides its own preset of white balance, but fortunately the names of these presets are similar with the others. So, I thought it can be provided as a generic digital camera API. I suggest the following as items: enum v4l2_preset_white_balance { V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_INCANDESCENT = 0, V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_FLUORESCENT = 1, V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_DAYLIGHT = 2, V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_CLOUDY = 3, V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_SHADE = 4, }; 2. Scenemode ============ I had suggested it before. : http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg29917.html And I want to continue this subject on this threads. The scenemode is also needed in the mobile digital . The reason I about to suggest this function as CID, is also the items are used widely & generally. enum v4l2_scenemode { V4L2_SCENEMODE_NONE = 0, V4L2_SCENEMODE_NORMAL = 1, V4L2_SCENEMODE_PORTRAIT = 2, V4L2_SCENEMODE_LANDSCAPE = 3, V4L2_SCENEMODE_SPORTS = 4, V4L2_SCENEMODE_PARTY_INDOOR = 5, V4L2_SCENEMODE_BEACH_SNOW = 6, V4L2_SCENEMODE_SUNSET = 7, V4L2_SCENEMODE_DAWN_DUSK = 8, V4L2_SCENEMODE_FALL = 9, V4L2_SCENEMODE_NIGHT = 10, V4L2_SCENEMODE_AGAINST_LIGHT = 11, V4L2_SCENEMODE_FIRE = 12, V4L2_SCENEMODE_TEXT = 13, V4L2_SCENEMODE_CANDLE = 14, }; 3. WDR(Wide Dynamic Range) ========================== This function can be unfamiliar, but it is as known as HDR(High Dynamic Range) to iPhone users. Although the name is different, but both are the same function. It makes the image look more clear by adjusting the intensity area of illumination of the image. This function can be used only turn on/off like button control, then the actual WDR algorithm are activated in the hardware. 4. Antishake ============ This function compensate and stabilize the shakeness of the stream and image. So, if this function turned on, the image created without many shakeness. It means both, the case when compensating the stream's shakeness, and when stabilizing the image itself. 5. References ============= - This is the example of the various digital camera's upper controls. You can find that the term of each control is very similiar. @ White Balance Preset http://imaging.nikon.com/history/basics/17/index.htm http://www.dailyphotographytips.net/camera-controls-and-settings/how-to-set-custom-white-balance/ http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/articles/how-to-white-balance-your-camera http://www.digital-photography-school.com/introduction-to-white-balance @ Scenemode http://www.digital-photography-school.com/digital-camera-modes http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/digital-camera-scene-modes/ @ WDR and HDR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_dynamic_range @ Ahtishake http://www.digital-slr-guide.com/digital-slr-anti-shake.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
