=========
|
|
|
|
Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing
|
|
operations. Control of the processing is based on advanced algorithms that must
|
|
run on a programmable processor. This has traditionally been implemented in a
|
|
dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices algorithms have been moved
|
|
to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the boundary between camera devices and
|
|
Linux often left the user with no other option than a vendor-specific
|
|
closed-source solution.
|
|
|
|
To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started
|
|
collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that will be
|
|
open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP. libcamera was born
|
|
out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to Linux-based
|
|
systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android.
