    "content": "This series superceeds [0] \"rkisp1: cproc - Metadata and Hue\ndevelopments\" by introducing a new base type for libipa to be able to\nmaintain values which are quantized for hardware.\n\nThese data values often need to be converted, perhaps to a fixed-point\nformat for configuration of hardware, but also then back to a floating\npoint for returning as metadata.\n\nIn particular this series builds to solve the review comment that\nblocked the original series at [1]\n\nThe Quantized type provides a storage mechanism to make both of these\nstorage representations visible to code that wishes to utilise the\nspecific values.\n\nThe series then re-introduces the proposed updates to cproc using the\nnew Q types by supplying Fixed Point types and a scaled fixed point type\nfor the Hue control.\n\nTests and documentation are provided throughout.\n\n[0] https://patchwork.libcamera.org/project/libcamera/list/?series=5245\n[1] https://patchwork.libcamera.org/patch/23645/#34626\n\nRunning the tests directly shows the following output (all passing)\n\ntest/ipa/libipa/quantized\nQuantised tests passed successfully.\ntest/ipa/libipa/fixedpoint\n\nQ1_7(-1 .. 0.992188)  Min: [0x80:-1] -- Max: [0x7f:0.992188] Step:0.0078125\n  Checking -1 == [0x80:-1]\n  Checking -0.992 == [0x81:-0.992188]\n  Checking -0.006 == [0xff:-0.0078125]\n  Checking 0 == [0x00:0]\n  Checking 0.008 == [0x01:0.0078125]\n  Checking 0.992 == [0x7f:0.992188]\n\nUQ1_7(0 .. 1.99219)  Min: [0x00:0] -- Max: [0xff:1.99219] Step:0.0078125\n  Checking 0 == [0x00:0]\n  Checking 1 == [0x80:1]\n  Checking 1.992 == [0xff:1.99219]\n\nQ4_7(-8 .. 7.99219)  Min: [0x0400:-8] -- Max: [0x03ff:7.99219] Step:0.0078125\n  Checking -8 == [0x0400:-8]\n  Checking -0.008 == [0x07ff:-0.0078125]\n  Checking 0 == [0x0000:0]\n  Checking 0.008 == [0x0001:0.0078125]\n  Checking 7.992 == [0x03ff:7.99219]\n  Checking 0.2 == [0x001a:0.203125]\n  Checking -0.2 == [0x07e6:-0.203125]\n  Checking -0.8 == [0x079a:-0.796875]\n  Checking -0.4 == [0x07cd:-0.398438]\n  Checking -1.4 == [0x074d:-1.39844]\n\nQ5_4(-16 .. 15.9375)  Min: [0x0100:-16] -- Max: [0x00ff:15.9375] Step:0.0625\n  Checking -16 == [0x0100:-16]\n  Checking 15.94 == [0x00ff:15.9375]\n\nQ12_4(-2048 .. 2047.94)  Min: [0x8000:-2048] -- Max: [0x7fff:2047.94] Step:0.0625\n  Checking 0 == [0x0000:0]\n  Checking 7.5 == [0x0078:7.5]\n\nUQ12_4(0 .. 4095.94)  Min: [0x0000:0] -- Max: [0xffff:4095.94] Step:0.0625\n  Checking 0 == [0x0000:0]\n  Checking 7.5 == [0x0078:7.5]\n\nRange validation:\n  Checking -100 == [0x80:-1]\n  Checking 100 == [0x7f:0.992188]\n  Checking -100 == [0x00:0]\n  Checking 100 == [0xff:1.99219]\n\n\nScaled Fixed-Point Quantizer tests:\n\nHueQ (Scaled Q1_7 * 90) (-90 .. 89.2969)  Min: [0x80:-90] -- Max: [0x7f:89.2969] Step:0.703125\n  Checking -90 == [0x80:-90]\n  Checking -45 == [0xc0:-45]\n  Checking 0 == [0x00:0]\n  Checking 45 == [0x40:45]\n  Checking 90 == [0x7f:89.2969]\n  Checking -99 == [0x80:-90]\n  Checking 99 == [0x7f:89.2969]\n\nCPROC Fixed-Point Quantizer conversion tests:\n  Checking [0x80:-1] == [0x80:-1]\n  Checking [0x7f:0.992188] == [0x7f:0.992188]\n  Checking [0x00:0] == [0x00:0]\n  Checking [0xff:1.99219] == [0xff:1.99219]\n\n\n\nKieran Bingham (13):\n  ipa: libipa: Provide a Quantized data type support\n  test: libipa: Add tests for Quantized types\n  ipa: libipa: Provide fixed point quantized traits\n  test: libipa: Provide FixedPoint Quantized tests\n  ipa: libipa: fixedpoint: Fix unsigned usage\n  test: libipa: Add Q4.7 type and tests to match existing use case tests\n  ipa: libipa: Provide Q5.4 FixedPoint support\n  ipa: libipa: fixedpoint: Provide a ScaledFixedPoint type\n  test: libipa: Provide ScaledFixedPoint tests\n  ipa: rkisp1: cproc: Convert to use Quantized types\n  ipa: rkisp1: cproc: Report metadata\n  ipa: rkisp1: cproc: Provide a Hue control\n  DNI: test: libipa: fixedpoint: Validate extra types\n\nvan Veen, Stephan (1):\n  libcamera: controls: Define a new core Hue control\n\n src/ipa/libipa/fixedpoint.cpp       | 182 ++++++++++++++++++++\n src/ipa/libipa/fixedpoint.h         |  72 ++++++++\n src/ipa/libipa/meson.build          |   2 +\n src/ipa/libipa/quantized.cpp        | 134 +++++++++++++++\n src/ipa/libipa/quantized.h          |  78 +++++++++\n src/ipa/rkisp1/algorithms/cproc.cpp |  66 +++++---\n src/ipa/rkisp1/algorithms/cproc.h   |   4 +\n src/ipa/rkisp1/ipa_context.h        |  22 ++-\n src/libcamera/control_ids_core.yaml |  13 ++\n test/ipa/libipa/fixedpoint.cpp      | 247 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-\n test/ipa/libipa/meson.build         |   1 +\n test/ipa/libipa/quantized.cpp       | 130 +++++++++++++++\n 12 files changed, 916 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 src/ipa/libipa/quantized.cpp\n create mode 100644 src/ipa/libipa/quantized.h\n create mode 100644 test/ipa/libipa/quantized.cpp"
