libXCam is a project for extended camera(not limited in 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.

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.

• Basic features Gamma correction, MACC, color space, demosaicing, noise reduction, edge enhancement. - Advanced features
  • Noise reduction: simple bilateral NR, temporal NR, wavelet NR, adaptive NR with Bayesian shrinkage, 3D-NR.
  • WDR: gaussian-based tone-mapping, histogram adjustment tone-mapping
  • Fog removal: retinex and dark channel prior algorithm.
  • Blender: multi-band blender and fisheye geometry map correction.
  • Image stiching: feature detect and match to generate 360 degree panorama photography by stitching multiple neighbor images
  • DVS: digital video stabilization based on feature detect, optical flow and motion model estimation.
  • 3A features Auto whitebalance, auto exposure, auto focus, black level correction, color correction, 3a-statistics calculation.

• Capture features support memory type of mmap and dma buffer.
• Support 3rd party 3A lib which can be loaded dynamically.
  • hybrid 3a plugin
• Image processing based on both ISP and Open CL.
• Support 3a analysis tuning framework for different features
• Support smart analysis framework
  • Face detection interface/plugin
• Support as gstreamer plugin
  • xcamsrc, capture from usb/isp camera, process 3a/basic/advanced features.
  • xcamfilter, improve image quality by advanced features and smart analysis.

Prerequisite:

• install gcc/g++, automake, autoconf, libtool, gawk, pkg-config
• Linux kernel > 3.10
• install libdrm-dev
• install ocl-icd-dev, ocl-icd-opencl-dev
• If --enable-libcl, need compile ocl driver https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Beignet/
• If --enable-opencv, need compile opencv http://opencv.org (or: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki)
• If --enable-gst, need install libgstreamer1.0-dev, libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
• If --enable-aiq, need get ia_imaging lib which we don't support.

Building and installing:

• Environment variable settings
  For different --prefix options, the environment variables may be different. Please set the environment variable according to the actual situation.
  --prefix=/usr/local:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0:$GST_PLUGIN_PATH
  

  --prefix=/usr:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0:$GST_PLUGIN_PATH
  

• $ ./autogen.sh [options]

  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [default=/usr/local]
  --enable-debug          enable debug, [default=no]
  --enable-profiling      enable profiling, [default=no]
  --enable-drm            enable drm buffer, [default=yes]
  --enable-aiq            enable Aiq 3A algorithm build, [default=no]
  --enable-gst            enable gstreamer plugin build, [default=no]
  --enable-libcl          enable libcl image processor, [default=yes]
  --enable-opencv         enable opencv library, [default=no]
  --enable-docs           build Doxygen documentation [default=no]
  --enable-3alib          enable 3A lib build, [default=no]
  --enable-smartlib       enable smart analysis lib build, [default=no]
  

  For example:

  $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-3alib --enable-aiq --enable-gst --enable-drm \
    --enable-libcl --enable-opencv --enable-profiling --enable-smartlib
