[PATCH RFC 1/2] V4L: Add auto focus selection targets

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sylwester Nawrocki <s.nawrocki@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The camera automatic focus algorithms may require setting up
a spot or rectangle coordinates.

The automatic focus selection targets are introduced in order
to allow applications to query and set such coordinates. Those
selections are intended to be used together with the automatic
focus controls available in the camera control class.
