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.

• Image processing features.
  • Advanced features.
    • Automotive surround view(360) stitching (both OpenCL version and CPU version).
      • Support bowl view 3D model stitching by 4 video input.
      • Enable geometry remap for WFoV camera calibration(intrinsic and extrinsic data).
      • Quality improved (OCL version done, CPU version WIP).
      • CPU version upstreamed into AOSP for automotive surround view.
    • 360 video stitching (Equirectangular mode via OpenCL).
      • Support 2-fisheye (>180 degree) video stream stitching.
      • Performance and quality improved.
    • Digital Video Stabilization:
      • OpenCV feature-matched based video stabilization.
      • gyroscope 3-DoF (orientation) based video stabilization.
    • Blender: multi-band blender (OpenCL).
    • 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.
  • hybrid 3a plugin.
• 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.

• install gcc/g , automake, autoconf, libtool, gawk, pkg-config
• Linux kernel > 3.10
• 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.

• 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-capi           enable libxcam-capi library, [default=yes]
  --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-gst --enable-libcl --enable-opencv \
    --enable-smartlib --enable-profiling
