Description:
libXCam is a project for extended camera features and focus on image
quality improvement and video analysis. There are lots features supported
in image pre-processing, image post-processing and smart analysis. This
library makes GPU/CPU/ISP working together to improve image quality.
OpenCL is used to improve performance in different platforms.
Features:
- Image processing features
- Advanced features
- 360-degree video stitching
- support ultra-high resolution (8K) video stitching.
- support processing NV12 & YUV420 pixel format.
- support 2/3/4 fish-eye cameras (FoV >180 degree) video stitching.
- stitching image adopts equirectangular projection (ERP).
- algorithms are optimized by AVX512 instruction, GLES and Vulkan.
- stitching quality tuning supports OpenCV fisheye camera calibration parameters.
- Automotive surround view (360-degree) stitching (OpenCL/CPU/GLES)
- Support bowl view 3D model stitching by 4 input videos.
- Enable geometry remap for WFoV camera calibration(intrinsic and extrinsic data).
- Quality and performance improved (OpenCL/CPU/GLES).
- CPU version upstreamed into AOSP for automotive surround view.
- Enable Vulkan to improve performance.
- DNN inference framework
- Support pedestrian and vehicle detection.
- Digital Video Stabilization
- OpenCV feature-matched based video stabilization.
- gyroscope 3-DoF (orientation) based video stabilization.
- Blender: multi-band blender (OpenCL/CPU/GLES)
- Noise reduction (OpenCL)
- adaptive NR based on wavelet-haar and Bayersian shrinkage.
- 3D-NR with inter-block and intra-block reference.
- wavelet-hat NR (obsolete).
- Wide dynamic range (WDR) (OpenCL)
- histogram adjustment tone-mapping.
- gaussian-based tone-mapping (obsolete).
- Fog removal: retinex and dark channel prior algorithm (OpenCL)
- dark channel prior algorithm based defog.
- multi-scale retinex based defog (obsolete).
- Basic pipeline from bayer to YUV/RGB format (OpenCL / AtomISP)
- Gamma correction, MACC, color space, demosaicing, simple bilateral
noise reduction, edge enhancement and temporal noise reduction.
- 3A features
- Auto whitebalance, auto exposure, auto focus, black level correction,
color correction, 3a-statistics calculation.
- Support 3rd party 3A lib which can be loaded dynamically
- Support 3a analysis tuning framework for different features
- Support smart analysis framework
- Face detection interface/plugin.
- Enable gstreamer plugin
- xcamsrc, capture from usb/isp camera, process 3a/basic/advanced features.
- xcamfilter, improve image quality by advanced features and smart analysis.
