SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-4.0 + +Design of Exposure and Gain controls +==================================== + +This document explains the design and rationale of the controls related to +exposure and gain. This includes the all-encompassing auto-exposure (AE), the +manual exposure control, and the manual gain control. + +Description of the problem +-------------------------- + +Sub controls +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There are more than one control that make up total exposure: exposure time, +gain, and aperture (though for now we will not consider aperture). We already +had individual controls for setting the values of manual exposure and manual +gain, but for switching between auto mode and manual mode we only had a +high-level boolean AeEnable control that would set *both* exposure and gain to +auto mode or manual mode; we had no way to set one to auto and the other to +manual. + +So, we need to introduce two new controls to act as "levers" to indicate +individually for exposure and gain if the value would come from AEGC or if it +would come from the manual control value. + +Aperture priority +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +We eventually may need to support aperture, and so whatever our solution is for +having only some controls on auto and the others on manual needs to be +extensible. + +Flickering when going from auto to manual +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When a manual exposure or gain value is requested by the application, it costs +a few frames worth of time for them to take effect. This means that during a +transition from auto to manual, there would be flickering in the control values +and the transition won't be smooth. + +Take for instance the following flow, where we start on auto exposure (which +for the purposes of the example increments by 1 each frame) and we want to +switch seamlessly to manual exposure, which involves copying the exposure value +computed by the auto exposure algorithm: + +:: + + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ + | N | | N+1 | | N+2 | | N+3 | | N+4 | | N+5 | | N+6 | + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ + + Mode requested: Auto Auto Auto Manual Manual Manual Manual + Exp requested: N/A N/A N/A 2 2 2 2 + Set in Frame: N+2 N+3 N+4 N+5 N+6 N+7 N+8 + + Mode used: Auto Auto Auto Auto Auto Manual Manual + Exp used: 0 1 2 3 4 2 2 + +As we can see, after frame N+2 completes, we copy the exposure value that was +used for frame N+2 (which was computed by AE algorithm), and queue that value +into request N+3 with manual mode on. However, as it takes two frames for the +exposure to be set, the exposure still changes since it is set by AE, and we +get a flicker in the exposure during the switch from auto to manual. + +A solution is to *not submit* any exposure value when manual mode is enabled, +and wait until the manual mode as been "applied" before copying the exposure +value: + +:: + + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ + | N | | N+1 | | N+2 | | N+3 | | N+4 | | N+5 | | N+6 | + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ + + Mode requested: Auto Auto Auto Manual Manual Manual Manual + Exp requested: N/A N/A N/A None None None 5 + Set in Frame: N+2 N+3 N+4 N+5 N+6 N+7 N+8 + + Mode used: Auto Auto Auto Auto Auto Manual Manual + Exp used: 0 1 2 3 4 5 5 + +In practice, this works. However, libcamera has a policy where once a control +is submitted, its value is saved and does not need to be resubmitted. If the +manual exposure value was set while auto mode was on, in theory the value would +be saved, so when manual mode is enabled, the exposure value that was +previously set would immediately be used. Clearly this solution isn't correct, +but it can serve as the basis for a proper solution, with some more rigorous +rules. + +Existing solutions +------------------ + +Raspberry Pi +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Raspberry Pi IPA gets around the lack of individual AeEnable controls for +exposure and gain by using magic values. When AeEnable is false, if one of the +manual control values was set to 0 then the value computed by AEGC would be +used for just that control. This solution isn't desirable, as it prevents +that magic value from being used as a valid value. + +To get around the flickering issue, when AeEnable is false, the Raspberry Pi +AEGC simply stops updating the values to be set, without restoring the +previously set manual exposure time and gain. This works, but is not a proper +solution. + +Android +^^^^^^^ + +The Android HAL specification requires that exposure and gain (sensitivity) +must both be manual or both be auto. It cannot be that one is manual while the +other is auto, so they simply don't support sub controls. + +For the flickering issue, the Android HAL has an AeLock control. To transition +from auto to manual, the application would keep AE on auto, and turn on the +lock. Once the lock has propagated through, then the value can be copied from +the result into the request and the lock disabled and the mode set to manual. + +The problem with this solution is, besides the extra complexity, that it is +ambiguous what happens if there is a state transition from manual to locked +(even though it's a state transition that doesn't make sense). If locked is +defined to "use the last automatically computed values" then it could use the +values from the last time it AE was set to auto, or it would be undefined if AE +was never auto (eg. it started out as manual), or if AE is implemented to run +in the background it could just use the current values that are computed. If +locked is defined to "use the last value that was set" there would be less +ambiguity. Still, it's better if we can make it impossible to execute this +nonsensical state transition, and if we can reduce the complexity of having +this extra control or extra setting on a lever. + +Summary of goals +---------------- + +- We need a lock of some sort, to instruct the AEGC to not update output + results + +- We need manual modes, to override the values computed by the AEGC + +- We need to support seamless transitions from auto to manual, and do so + without flickering + +- We need custom minimum values for the manual controls; that is, no magic + values for enabling/disabling auto + +- All of these need to be done with AE sub-controls (exposure time, analogue + gain) and be extensible to aperture in the future + +Our solution +------------ + +A diagram of our solution: + +:: + + +----------------------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ + | INPUT | ALGORITHM | RESULT | OUTPUT | + +----------------------------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+ + + ExposureTimeMode ExposureTimeMode + ---------------------+----------------------------------------+-----------------> + 0: Auto | | + 1: Manual | V + | |\ + | | \ + | /----------------------------------> | 1| ExposureTime + | | +-------------+ exposure time | | --------------> + \--)--> | | --------------> | 0| + ExposureTime | | | | / + ------------------------+--> | | |/ + | | AeState + | AEGC | -----------------------------------> + AnalogueGain | | + ------------------------+--> | | |\ + | | | | \ + /--)--> | | --------------> | 0| AnalogueGain + | | +-------------+ analogue gain | | --------------> + | \----------------------------------> | 1| + | | / + | |/ + | ^ + AnalogueGainMode | | AnalogueGainMode + ---------------------+----------------------------------------+-----------------> + 0: Auto + 1: Manual + + +The diagram is divided in four sections horizontally: + +- Input: The values received from the request controls + +- Algorithm: The algorithm itself + +- Result: The values calculated by the algorithm + +- Output: The values reported in result metadata and applied to the device + +The four input controls are divided between manual values (ExposureTime and +AnalogueGain), and operation modes (ExposureTimeMode and AnalogueGainMode). The +former are the manual values, the latter control how they're applied. The two +modes are independent from each other, and each can take one of two values: + +- Auto (0): The AGC computes the value normally. The AGC result is applied + to the output. The manual value is ignored *and is not retained*. + +- Manual (1): The AGC uses the manual value internally. The corresponding + manual control from the request is applied to the output. The AGC result + is ignored. + +The AeState control reports the state of the unified AEGC block. If both +ExposureTimeMode and AnalogueGainMode are set to manual then it will report +Idle. If at least one of the two is set to auto, then AeState will report +if the AEGC has Converged or not (Searching). This control replaces the old +AeLocked control, as it was insufficient for reporting the AE state. + +There is a caveat to manual mode: the manual control value is not retained if +it is set during auto mode. This means that if manual mode is entered without +also setting the manual value, then it will enter a state similar to "locked", +where the last automatically computed value while the mode was auto will be +used. Once the manual value is set, then that will be used and retained as +usual. + +This simulates an auto -> locked -> manual or auto -> manual state transition, +and makes it impossible to do the nonsensical manual -> locked state +transition. + +We specifically do not have a "master AE control" like the old AeEnable. This +is because we have the individual mode controls, and if we had a master AE +control it would be a "control that sets other controls", which could easily +get out of control. + +With this solution, the earlier example would become: + +:: + + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ + | N+2 | | N+3 | | N+4 | | N+5 | | N+6 | | N+7 | | N+8 | | N+9 | | N+10| + +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ + Mode requested: Auto Manual Manual Manual Manual Manual Manual Manual Manual + Exp requested: N/A None None None None 10 None 10 10 + Set in Frame: N+4 N+5 N+6 N+7 N+8 N+9 N+10 N+11 N+12 + + Mode used: Auto Auto Auto Manual Manual Manual Manual Manual Manual + Exp used: 2 3 4 5 5 5 5 10 10 + +This example is extended by a few frames to exhibit the simulated "locked" +state.

Thus, the value +that is used in requests N+5 and N+6 (where the mode is disabled), comes from +the last value that was used when the mode was auto, which comes from frame +N+4. + +Then, in N+7, a manual value of 10 is supplied. It takes until frame N+9 for +the exposure to be applied. N+8 does not supply a manual value, but the last +supplied value is retained, so a manual value of 10 is still used and set in +frame N+10. + +Although this behavior is the same as what we had with waiting for the manual +mode to propagate (in the section "Description of the problem"), this time it +is correct as we have defined specifically that if a manual value was specified +while the mode was auto, it will not be retained. + +Description of the controls +--------------------------- + +As described above, libcamera offers the following controls related to exposure +and gain: + +- AnalogueGain + +- AnalogueGainMode + +- ExposureTime + +- ExposureTimeMode + +- AeState + +Auto-exposure and auto-gain can be enabled and disabled separately using the +ExposureTimeMode and AnalogueGainMode controls respectively. There is no +overarching AeEnable control. + +When the respective mode is set to auto, the respective value that is computed +by the AEGC algorithm is applied to the image sensor. Any value that is +supplied in the manual ExposureTime/AnalogueGain control is ignored and not +retained. Another way to understand this is that when the mode transitions from +auto to manual, the internally stored control value is overwritten with the +last value computed by the auto algorithm. + +This means that when we transition from auto to manual without supplying a +manual control value, the last value that was set by the AEGC algorithm will +keep be used. This can be used to do a flickerless transition from auto to +manual as described earlier. If the camera started out in manual mode and no +corresponding value has been supplied yet, then a best-effort default value +shall be set. + +The manual control value can be set in the same request as setting the mode to +auto if the desired manual control value is already known. + +Transitioning from manual to auto shall be implicitly flickerless, as the AEGC +algorithms are expected to start running from the last manual value. + +The AeState metadata reports the state of the AE algorithm. As AE cannot +compute exposure and gain separately, the state of the AE component is +unified. There are three states: Idle, Searching, and Converged. + +The state shall be Idle if both ExposureTimeMode and AnalogueGainMode +are set to Manual. If the camera only supports one of the two controls, +then the state shall be Idle if that one control is set to Manual. If +the camera does not support Manual for at least one of the two controls, +then the state will never be Idle, as AE will always be running. + +The state shall be Searching if at least one of exposure or gain calculated +by the AE algorithm is used (that is, at least one of the two modes is Auto), +*and* the value(s) have not converged yet. + +The state shall be Converged if at least one of exposure or gain calculated +by the AE algorithm is used (that is, at least one of the two modes is Auto), +*and* the value(s) have converged. diff --git a/Documentation/index.rst b/Documentation/index.rst index bea406608477..251112fbdf5f 100644 --- a/Documentation/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/index.rst @@ -23,7 +23,9 @@ SoftwareISP Benchmarking Tracing guide + Design document: AE + .. toctree:: :hidden: - introduction \ No newline at end of file + introduction diff --git a/Documentation/meson.build b/Documentation/meson.build index 36ffae239353..6158320e177c 100644 --- a/Documentation/meson.build +++ b/Documentation/meson.build @@ -128,6 +128,7 @@ if sphinx.found() 'coding-style.rst', 'conf.py', 'contributing.rst', + 'design/ae.rst', 'documentation-contents.rst', 'environment_variables.rst', 'feature_requirements.rst', From patchwork Mon Jan 20 20:44:54 2025 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Patchwork-Submitter: Laurent Pinchart X-Patchwork-Id: 22590 Return-Path: X-Original-To: parsemail@patchwork.libcamera.org Delivered-To: parsemail@patchwork.libcamera.org Received: from lancelot.ideasonboard.com (lancelot.ideasonboard.com [92.243.16.209]) by patchwork.libcamera.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 4472AC0DA4 for ; Mon, 20 Jan 2025 20:45:33 +0000 (UTC) Received: from lancelot.ideasonboard.com (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by lancelot.ideasonboard.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 918E468552; Mon, 20 Jan 2025 21:45:31 +0100 (CET) Authentication-Results: lancelot.ideasonboard.com; dkim=pass (1024-bit key; unprotected) header.d=ideasonboard.com header.i=@ideasonboard.com header.b="Qwh4WN0b"; dkim-atps=neutral Received: from perceval.ideasonboard.com (perceval.ideasonboard.com [213.167.242.64]) by lancelot.ideasonboard.com (Postfix) with ESMTPS id AA3D868546 for ; Mon, 20 Jan 2025 21:45:26 +0100 (CET) Received: from pendragon.ideasonboard.com (81-175-209-231.bb.dnainternet.fi [81.175.209.231]) by perceval.ideasonboard.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 02C6822A; Mon, 20 Jan 2025 21:44:24 +0100 (CET) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/simple; d=ideasonboard.com; s=mail; t=1737405865; bh=v8W33EK+skVP/8PMTS5yRrSk32PVJ7d7gYKH5HeuC2I=; h=From:To:Cc:Subject:Date:In-Reply-To:References:From; b=Qwh4WN0b4Iq39ZyX84KVY8vXr30noCtzSbiu8CVQszpKr81IoIRNgixY6eiEtgdix jsj46mQ913+sU8dgSyqwBinuSUQHLpRwfHffLtupgNIXd0/qZxB915IV+lHWvE6Tg4 BCsJuiqSeQrEjrByUaD1KEeyW4pdkAACo389jlqc= From: Laurent Pinchart To: libcamera-devel@lists.libcamera.org Cc: Naushir Patuck , David Plowman , Paul Elder , Jacopo Mondi Subject: [PATCH v9 03/12] libcamera: uvcvideo: Register ExposureTimeMode control Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2025 22:44:54 +0200 Message-ID: <20250120204515.24096-4-laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.45.2 In-Reply-To: <20250120204515.24096-1-laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> References: <20250120204515.24096-1-laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-BeenThere: libcamera-devel@lists.libcamera.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.29 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: libcamera-devel-bounces@lists.libcamera.org Sender: "libcamera-devel" From: Jacopo Mondi Port the UVC pipeline handler to use the new ExposureTimeMode control when processing Camera controls in place of the AeEnable control.

However this will cause problems if aperture sub-controls are introduced, and an application from a pre-aperture era uses a camera that supports aperture. If there is no AeEnable control, then a pre-aperture era application might set analogue gain and exposure time to manual, while aperture silently stays auto since that's the default mode. Thus aperture would be uncontrollable by the application. With an AeEnable control, then a pre-aperture era application can set AeEnable to manual, and under the hood all three of analogue gain and exposure time and aperture will be set to manual. The application won't be able to set the manual aperture, however. Although the above scenario is expected to be rare, the scenario with an AeEnable control seems less detrimental. With an AeEnable control at least the aperture would be static at a reasonably usable value, whereas without an AeEnable the aperture would be more-or-less uncontrolable and could go to extreme values as the AEGC algorithm tries to compensate for the manual analogue gain and exposure time values. Thus we redefine the AeEnable control, available only as a control and not in metadata. It will be preprocessed by the Camera class so that the relevant sub-controls are set. No pipline handler nor IPA shall act on the AeEnable control. The IPA still has to report the control as available, however.
