This means reporting\nmetadata itself from software ISP and adding relevant values to the\nmetadata.\n\nRunning ‘cam’ with --metadata now produces something like the following:\n\n  SensorBlackLevels = [ 4096, 4096, 4096, 4096 ]\n  ColourGains = [ 0.001153, 0.001145 ]\n  ExposureTime = 66578\n  AnalogueGain = 10.666667\n  SensorTimestamp = 5466162537000\n\nChanges in v6:\n- Frame info is always added for requests, whether software ISP is used\n  or not.\n- SimpleCameraData::completeRequest method merged into\n  tryCompleteRequest + related arrangements regarding the metadata\n  check.\n- Constructor added to SimpleFrameInfo and used as suggested by Laurent.\n\nChanges in v5:\n- Updated for current master.\n\nChanges in v4:\n- SimpleCameraData::completeRequest just returns if frame info is not\n  found.\n- SimpleCameraData::completeRequest split to completeRequest and\n  tryCompleteRequest and checkCompleted argument removed.\n- SoftwareIsp::saveMetadata replaced by a lambda function.\n- blackLevels array initialization reflowed to 72 columns.\n- exposureTime converted to the right unit.\n- maybe_unused removed from a used argument.\n- Metadata is taken from frame contexts rather than from active states.\n\nChanges in v3:\n- Don't use dynamic allocation for SimpleFrames entries.\n- A tentative patch to add exposure/gain to metadata.\n\nChanges in v2:\n- Taken over from Kieran.\n- Updated for master.\n- Black level is reported as uint16_t, according to the control\n  documentation.\n- Contrast value is reported in metadata.\n- The metadata used to proces the image is reported rather than the\n  metadata determined from the image.\n- Metadata is reported using a new signal rather than (ab)using\n  setIspParams; this change is less or more needed due to changed simple\n  IPA structure since v1.\n- Frame -> request mapping is introduced to make sure the metadata is\n  assigned to the right request.\n\nKieran Bingham (3):\n  ipa: simple: softisp: Extend to pass metadata\n  ipa: simple: Report the ColourGains in metadata\n  ipa: simple: Report black levels in metadata\n\nMilan Zamazal (3):\n  libcamera: software_isp: Track frames and requests\n  ipa: simple: Report contrast in metadata\n  ipa: simple: Report exposure in metadata\n\n .../internal/software_isp/software_isp.h      |  2 +\n include/libcamera/ipa/soft.mojom              |  4 +-\n src/ipa/simple/algorithms/agc.cpp             | 11 ++-\n src/ipa/simple/algorithms/awb.cpp             | 21 +++-\n src/ipa/simple/algorithms/awb.h               |  6 +-\n src/ipa/simple/algorithms/blc.cpp             | 11 ++-\n src/ipa/simple/algorithms/lut.cpp             | 15 ++-\n src/ipa/simple/algorithms/lut.h               |  5 +\n src/ipa/simple/ipa_context.h                  | 11 ++-\n src/ipa/simple/soft_simple.cpp                | 24 +++--\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/simple.cpp      | 96 ++++++++++++++++++-\n src/libcamera/software_isp/software_isp.cpp   | 29 ++++--\n 12 files changed, 207 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-)"
