    "content": "Hello !\n\nI proposed to add the lens controls with ancillary links support in a\nprevious series [1] but it seems more interesting to have it on top of\nan AF algorithm.\n\nThe first patch in this series introduces Kate's algorithm used by the\nIPU3IPA which is a contrast-based one. I adapted it a bit, as the\nstatistics on RPi are not the same, and I simplified it a bit, using\nonly one of the filters and all the regions (ie, it calculates a focus\non the scene, and not only on the center of this scene).\n\nThis is posted as a RFC, as it lacks a few things:\n- Kieran mentionned that the entityControls in the RPi pipeline handler\n  should be emplaced into a map using an enum. I tried to do it, but I\n  am no jinja2 expert, and it takes me too much time for something\n  supposed to be easy :-). Help appreciated here (;-) ;-)).\n- The algorithm is not using any controls while David proposed those in\n  [3]. I am planning to do it, at least to pass a region and send back\n  the focus lens position but -ENOTIME yet.\n\nDavid, Naushir, Laurent, Kieran, I am not sure about the copyrights and\nlicenses, please comment :-).\n\nThanks !\n\nJean-Michel Hautbois (3):\n  ipa: raspberrypi: Introduce an autofocus algorithm\n  libcamera: raspberrypi: Control the lens from pipeline\n  ipa: raspberrypi: Control the lens position\n\n include/libcamera/ipa/raspberrypi.mojom       |   1 +\n .../raspberrypi/controller/af_algorithm.hpp   |  20 ++\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/af_status.h    |  31 +++\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/focus_status.h |   3 +\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/iob/af.cpp     | 231 ++++++++++++++++++\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/iob/af.h       |  55 +++++\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/meson.build               |   1 +\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp           |  36 ++-\n .../pipeline/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp      |  17 ++\n 9 files changed, 393 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/af_algorithm.hpp\n create mode 100644 src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/af_status.h\n create mode 100644 src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/iob/af.cpp\n create mode 100644 src/ipa/raspberrypi/controller/iob/af.h"
