From 35b23b522696118b5ec5b84ba6846ee96aa2743e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guennadi Liakhovetski Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:34:20 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB (13651): sh_mobile_ceu_camera: document the scaling and cropping algorithm The sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver implements an advanced algorithm, combining scaling and cropping on the client and on the host. Due to its complexity the algorithm deserves separate documentation. create mode 100644 Documentation/video4linux/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.txt Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- .../video4linux/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.txt | 157 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 157 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/video4linux/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.txt diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.txt b/Documentation/video4linux/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..2ae16349a78 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/video4linux/sh_mobile_ceu_camera.txt @@ -0,0 +1,157 @@ + Cropping and Scaling algorithm, used in the sh_mobile_ceu_camera driver + ======================================================================= + +Terminology +----------- + +sensor scales: horizontal and vertical scales, configured by the sensor driver +host scales: -"- host driver +combined scales: sensor_scale * host_scale + + +Generic scaling / cropping scheme +--------------------------------- + +-1-- +| +-2-- -\ +| --\ +| --\ ++-5-- -\ -- -3-- +| ---\ +| --- -4-- -\ +| -\ +| - -6-- +| +| - -6'- +| -/ +| --- -4'- -/ +| ---/ ++-5'- -/ +| -- -3'- +| --/ +| --/ +-2'- -/ +| +| +-1'- + +Produced by user requests: + +S_CROP(left / top = (5) - (1), width / height = (5') - (5)) +S_FMT(width / height = (6') - (6)) + +Here: + +(1) to (1') - whole max width or height +(1) to (2) - sensor cropped left or top +(2) to (2') - sensor cropped width or height +(3) to (3') - sensor scale +(3) to (4) - CEU cropped left or top +(4) to (4') - CEU cropped width or height +(5) to (5') - reverse sensor scale applied to CEU cropped width or height +(2) to (5) - reverse sensor scale applied to CEU cropped left or top +(6) to (6') - CEU scale - user window + + +S_FMT +----- + +Do not touch input rectangle - it is already optimal. + +1.
