<description>
The mode control selects how the image data is converted from the
sensor's native color into linear sRGB color.
</description>
<details>
When auto-white balance (AWB) is enabled with android.control.awbMode, this
control is overridden by the AWB routine. When AWB is disabled, the
application controls how the color mapping is performed.
We define the expected processing pipeline below. For consistency
across devices, this is always the case with TRANSFORM_MATRIX.
When either FULL or HIGH_QUALITY is used, the camera device may
do additional processing but android.colorCorrection.gains and
android.colorCorrection.transform will still be provided by the
camera device (in the results) and be roughly correct.
Switching to TRANSFORM_MATRIX and using the data provided from
FAST or HIGH_QUALITY will yield a picture with the same white point
as what was produced by the camera device in the earlier frame.
The expected processing pipeline is as follows:
The white balance is encoded by two values, a 4-channel white-balance
gain vector (applied in the Bayer domain), and a 3x3 color transform
matrix (applied after demosaic).
The 4-channel white-balance gains are defined as:
android.colorCorrection.gains = [ R G_even G_odd B ]
where `G_even` is the gain for green pixels on even rows of the
output, and `G_odd` is the gain for green pixels on the odd rows.
These may be identical for a given camera device implementation; if
the camera device does not support a separate gain for even/odd green
channels, it will use the `G_even` value, and write `G_odd` equal to
`G_even` in the output result metadata.
The matrices for color transforms are defined as a 9-entry vector:
android.colorCorrection.transform = [ I0 I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 I6 I7 I8 ]
which define a transform from input sensor colors, `P_in = [ r g b ]`,
to output linear sRGB, `P_out = [ r' g' b' ]`,
with colors as follows:
r' = I0r + I1g + I2b
g' = I3r + I4g + I5b
b' = I6r + I7g + I8b
Both the input and output value ranges must match. Overflow/underflow
values are clipped to fit within the range.
</details>
<hal_details>
HAL must support both FAST and HIGH_QUALITY if color correction control is available
on the camera device, but the underlying implementation can be the same for both modes.
That is, if the highest quality implementation on the camera device does not slow down
capture rate, then FAST and HIGH_QUALITY should generate the same output.

in this matrix result metadata. The transform should keep the magnitude
of the output color values within `[0, 1.0]` (assuming input color
values is within the normalized range `[0, 1.0]`), or clipping may occur.

These per-channel gains are either set by the camera device

The gains in the result metadata are the gains actually
applied by the camera device to the current frame.
The valid range of gains varies on different devices, but gains
between [1.0, 3.0] are guaranteed not to be clipped. Even if a given
device allows gains below 1.0, this is usually not recommended because
this can create color artifacts.
</details>
<hal_details>
The 4-channel white-balance gains are defined in
the order of `[R G_even G_odd B]`, where `G_even` is the gain
for green pixels on even rows of the output, and `G_odd`
is the gain for green pixels on the odd rows.
If a HAL does not support a separate gain for even/odd green
channels, it must use the `G_even` value, and write
`G_odd` equal to `G_even` in the output result metadata.

Chromatic (color) aberration is caused by the fact that different wavelengths of light
can not focus on the same point after exiting from the lens. This metadata defines
the high level control of chromatic aberration correction algorithm, which aims to
minimize the chromatic artifacts that may occur along the object boundaries in an
image.
FAST/HIGH_QUALITY both mean that camera device determined aberration
correction will be applied. HIGH_QUALITY mode indicates that the camera device will
use the highest-quality aberration correction algorithms, even if it slows down
capture rate. FAST means the camera device will not slow down capture rate when
applying aberration correction.
LEGACY devices will always be in FAST mode.

<details>
Some kinds of lighting fixtures, such as some fluorescent
lights, flicker at the rate of the power supply frequency
(60Hz or 50Hz, depending on country). While this is
typically not noticeable to a person, it can be visible to
a camera device. If a camera sets its exposure time to the
wrong value, the flicker may become visible in the
viewfinder as flicker or in a final captured image, as a
set of variable-brightness bands across the image.
Therefore, the auto-exposure routines of camera devices
include antibanding routines that ensure that the chosen
exposure value will not cause such banding. The choice of
exposure time depends on the rate of flicker, which the
camera device can detect automatically, or the expected
rate can be selected by the application using this
control.
A given camera device may not support all of the possible
options for the antibanding mode. The
android.control.aeAvailableAntibandingModes key contains
the available modes for a given camera device.
AUTO mode is the default if it is available on given
camera device. When AUTO mode is not available, the
default will be either 50HZ or 60HZ, and both 50HZ
and 60HZ will be available.
If manual exposure control is enabled (by setting
android.control.aeMode or android.control.mode to OFF),
then this setting has no effect, and the application must
ensure it selects exposure times that do not cause banding
issues. The android.statistics.sceneFlicker key can assist
the application in this.
</details>

For all capture request templates, this field must be set

<description>Adjustment to auto-exposure (AE) target image

<units>Compensation steps</units>
<range>android.control.aeCompensationRange</range>
<details>
The adjustment is measured as a count of steps, with the
step size defined by android.control.aeCompensationStep and the
allowed range by android.control.aeCompensationRange.
For example, if the exposure value (EV) step is 0.333, '6'
will mean an exposure compensation of +2 EV; -3 will mean an
exposure compensation of -1 EV. One EV represents a doubling
of image brightness. Note that this control will only be
effective if android.control.aeMode `!=` OFF. This control
will take effect even when android.control.aeLock `== true`.
In the event of exposure compensation value being changed, camera device
may take several frames to reach the newly requested exposure target.
During that time, android.control.aeState field will be in the SEARCHING
state. Once the new exposure target is reached, android.control.aeState will
change from SEARCHING to either CONVERGED, LOCKED (if AE lock is enabled), or
FLASH_REQUIRED (if the scene is too dark for still capture).

<description>Whether auto-exposure (AE) is currently locked to its latest
calculated values.</description>
<details>
When set to `true` (ON), the AE algorithm is locked to its latest parameters,
and will not change exposure settings until the lock is set to `false` (OFF).
Note that even when AE is locked, the flash may be fired if
the android.control.aeMode is ON_AUTO_FLASH /
ON_ALWAYS_FLASH / ON_AUTO_FLASH_REDEYE.
When android.control.aeExposureCompensation is changed, even if the AE lock
is ON, the camera device will still adjust its exposure value.
If AE precapture is triggered (see android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger)
when AE is already locked, the camera device will not change the exposure time
(android.sensor.exposureTime) and sensitivity (android.sensor.sensitivity)
parameters. The flash may be fired if the android.control.aeMode
is ON_AUTO_FLASH/ON_AUTO_FLASH_REDEYE and the scene is too dark. If the
android.control.aeMode is ON_ALWAYS_FLASH, the scene may become overexposed.
Similarly, AE precapture trigger CANCEL has no effect when AE is already locked.
When an AE precapture sequence is triggered, AE unlock will not be able to unlock
the AE if AE is locked by the camera device internally during precapture metering
sequence In other words, submitting requests with AE unlock has no effect for an
ongoing precapture metering sequence. Otherwise, the precapture metering sequence
will never succeed in a sequence of preview requests where AE lock is always set
to `false`.
Since the camera device has a pipeline of in-flight requests, the settings that
get locked do not necessarily correspond to the settings that were present in the
latest capture result received from the camera device, since additional captures
and AE updates may have occurred even before the result was sent out. If an
application is switching between automatic and manual control and wishes to eliminate
any flicker during the switch, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Starting in auto-AE mode:
2. Lock AE
3. Wait for the first result to be output that has the AE locked
4. Copy exposure settings from that result into a request, set the request to manual AE
5. Submit the capture request, proceed to run manual AE as desired.
See android.control.aeState for AE lock related state transition details.

Not available if android.control.maxRegionsAe is 0.
Otherwise will always be present.
The maximum number of regions supported by the device is determined by the value
of android.control.maxRegionsAe.
The coordinate system is based on the active pixel array,
with (0,0) being the top-left pixel in the active pixel array, and
(android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.height - 1) being the
bottom-right pixel in the active pixel array.
The weight must be within `[0, 1000]`, and represents a weight
for every pixel in the area. This means that a large metering area
with the same weight as a smaller area will have more effect in
the metering result. Metering areas can partially overlap and the
camera device will add the weights in the overlap region.
The weights are relative to weights of other exposure metering regions, so if only one
region is used, all non-zero weights will have the same effect. A region with 0
weight is ignored.
If all regions have 0 weight, then no specific metering area needs to be used by the
camera device.
If the metering region is outside the used android.scaler.cropRegion returned in
capture result metadata, the camera device will ignore the sections outside the crop
region and output only the intersection rectangle as the metering region in the result
metadata. If the region is entirely outside the crop region, it will be ignored and
not reported in the result metadata.

The HAL level representation of MeteringRectangle[] is a

Every five elements represent a metering region of

<details>This entry is normally set to IDLE, or is not
included at all in the request settings. When included and
set to START, the camera device will trigger the auto-exposure (AE)
precapture metering sequence.
When set to CANCEL, the camera device will cancel any active
precapture metering trigger, and return to its initial AE state.
If a precapture metering sequence is already completed, and the camera
device has implicitly locked the AE for subsequent still capture, the
CANCEL trigger will unlock the AE and return to its initial AE state.
The precapture sequence should be triggered before starting a
high-quality still capture for final metering decisions to
be made, and for firing pre-capture flash pulses to estimate
scene brightness and required final capture flash power, when
the flash is enabled.
Normally, this entry should be set to START for only a
single request, and the application should wait until the
sequence completes before starting a new one.
When a precapture metering sequence is finished, the camera device
may lock the auto-exposure routine internally to be able to accurately expose the
subsequent still capture image (`android.control.captureIntent == STILL_CAPTURE`).
For this case, the AE may not resume normal scan if no subsequent still capture is
submitted. To ensure that the AE routine restarts normal scan, the application should
submit a request with `android.control.aeLock == true`, followed by a request
with `android.control.aeLock == false`, if the application decides not to submit a
still capture request after the precapture sequence completes. Alternatively, for
API level 23 or newer devices, the CANCEL can be used to unlock the camera device
internally locked AE if the application doesn't submit a still capture request after
the AE precapture trigger. Note that, the CANCEL was added in API level 23, and must not
be used in devices that have earlier API levels.
The exact effect of auto-exposure (AE) precapture trigger
depends on the current AE mode and state; see
android.control.aeState for AE precapture state transition
details.
On LEGACY-level devices, the precapture trigger is not supported;
capturing a high-resolution JPEG image will automatically trigger a
precapture sequence before the high-resolution capture, including
potentially firing a pre-capture flash.
Using the precapture trigger and the auto-focus trigger android.control.afTrigger
simultaneously is allowed. However, since these triggers often require cooperation between
the auto-focus and auto-exposure routines (for example, the may need to be enabled for a
focus sweep), the camera device may delay acting on a later trigger until the previous
trigger has been fully handled. This may lead to longer intervals between the trigger and
changes to android.control.aeState indicating the start of the precapture sequence, for
example.
If both the precapture and the auto-focus trigger are activated on the same request, then
the camera device will complete them in the optimal order for that device.
</details>
<hal_details>
The HAL must support triggering the AE precapture trigger while an AF trigger is active
(and vice versa), or at the same time as the AF trigger. It is acceptable for the HAL to
treat these as two consecutive triggers, for example handling the AF trigger and then the
AE trigger. Or the HAL may choose to optimize the case with both triggers fired at once,
to minimize the latency for converging both focus and exposure/flash usage.

<description>Whether auto-focus (AF) is currently enabled, and what
mode it is set to.</description>
<range>android.control.afAvailableModes</range>
<details>Only effective if android.control.mode = AUTO and the lens is not fixed focus
(i.e. `android.lens.info.minimumFocusDistance > 0`). Also note that
when android.control.aeMode is OFF, the behavior of AF is device
dependent. It is recommended to lock AF by using android.control.afTrigger before
setting android.control.aeMode to OFF, or set AF mode to OFF when AE is OFF.
If the lens is controlled by the camera device auto-focus algorithm,
the camera device will report the current AF status in android.control.afState
in result metadata.</details>
<hal_details>
When afMode is AUTO or MACRO, the lens must not move until an AF trigger is sent in a
request (android.control.afTrigger `==` START). After an AF trigger, the afState will end
up with either FOCUSED_LOCKED or NOT_FOCUSED_LOCKED state (see
android.control.afState for detailed state transitions), which indicates that the lens is
locked and will not move. If camera movement (e.g. tilting camera) causes the lens to move
after the lens is locked, the HAL must compensate this movement appropriately such that
the same focal plane remains in focus.
When afMode is one of the continuous auto focus modes, the HAL is free to start a AF
scan whenever it's not locked. When the lens is locked after an AF trigger
(see android.control.afState for detailed state transitions), the HAL should maintain the
same lock behavior as above.
When afMode is OFF, the application controls focus manually. The accuracy of the
focus distance control depends on the android.lens.info.focusDistanceCalibration.
However, the lens must not move regardless of the camera movement for any focus distance
manual control.
To put this in concrete terms, if the camera has lens elements which may move based on
camera orientation or motion (e.g. due to gravity), then the HAL must drive the lens to
remain in a fixed position invariant to the camera's orientation or motion, for example,
by using accelerometer measurements in the lens control logic. This is a typical issue
that will arise on camera modules with open-loop VCMs.

The maximum number of focus areas supported by the device is determined by the value

The coordinate system is based on the active pixel array,
with (0,0) being the top-left pixel in the active pixel array, and
(android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.height - 1) being the
bottom-right pixel in the active pixel array.
The weight must be within `[0, 1000]`, and represents a weight
for every pixel in the area. This means that a large metering area
with the same weight as a smaller area will have more effect in
the metering result. Metering areas can partially overlap and the
camera device will add the weights in the overlap region.
The weights are relative to weights of other metering regions, so if only one region
is used, all non-zero weights will have the same effect. A region with 0 weight is
ignored.
If all regions have 0 weight, then no specific metering area needs to be used by the
camera device.
If the metering region is outside the used android.scaler.cropRegion returned in
capture result metadata, the camera device will ignore the sections outside the crop
region and output only the intersection rectangle as the metering region in the result
metadata. If the region is entirely outside the crop region, it will be ignored and
not reported in the result metadata.

<details>
When set to `true` (ON), the AWB algorithm is locked to its latest parameters,

Since the camera device has a pipeline of in-flight requests, the settings that
get locked do not necessarily correspond to the settings that were present in the
latest capture result received from the camera device, since additional captures
and AWB updates may have occurred even before the result was sent out. If an
application is switching between automatic and manual control and wishes to eliminate
any flicker during the switch, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Starting in auto-AWB mode:
2. Lock AWB
3. Wait for the first result to be output that has the AWB locked
4. Copy AWB settings from that result into a request, set the request to manual AWB
5. Submit the capture request, proceed to run manual AWB as desired.
Note that AWB lock is only meaningful when
android.control.awbMode is in the AUTO mode; in other modes,
AWB is already fixed to a specific setting.
Some LEGACY devices may not support ON; the value is then overridden to OFF.

<value deprecated="true" optional="true">HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO
<notes>
This is deprecated, please use {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}
and {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession#createHighSpeedRequestList}
for high speed video recording.
Optimized for high speed video recording (frame rate >=60fps) use case.
The supported high speed video sizes and fps ranges are specified in
android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations. To get desired
output frame rates, the application is only allowed to select video size
and fps range combinations listed in this static metadata. The fps range
can be control via android.control.aeTargetFpsRange.
In this mode, the camera device will override aeMode, awbMode, and afMode to
ON, ON, and CONTINUOUS_VIDEO, respectively. All post-processing block mode
controls will be overridden to be FAST. Therefore, no manual control of capture
and post-processing parameters is possible. All other controls operate the
same as when android.control.mode == AUTO. This means that all other
android.control.* fields continue to work, such as
* android.control.aeTargetFpsRange
* android.control.aeExposureCompensation
* android.control.aeLock
* android.control.awbLock
* android.control.effectMode
* android.control.aeRegions
* android.control.afRegions
* android.control.awbRegions
* android.control.afTrigger
* android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger
Outside of android.control.*, the following controls will work:
* android.flash.mode (automatic flash for still capture will not work since aeMode is ON)
* android.lens.opticalStabilizationMode (if it is supported)
* android.scaler.cropRegion
* android.statistics.faceDetectMode
For high speed recording use case, the actual maximum supported frame rate may
be lower than what camera can output, depending on the destination Surfaces for
the image data. For example, if the destination surface is from video encoder,
the application need check if the video encoder is capable of supporting the
high frame rate for a given video size, or it will end up with lower recording
frame rate. If the destination surface is from preview window, the preview frame
rate will be bounded by the screen refresh rate.
The camera device will only support up to 2 output high speed streams
(processed non-stalling format defined in android.request.maxNumOutputStreams)
in this mode. This control will be effective only if all of below conditions are true:
* The application created no more than maxNumHighSpeedStreams processed non-stalling
format output streams, where maxNumHighSpeedStreams is calculated as
min(2, android.request.maxNumOutputStreams[Processed (but not-stalling)]).
* The stream sizes are selected from the sizes reported by
android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations.
* No processed non-stalling or raw streams are configured.
When above conditions are NOT satistied, the controls of this mode and
android.control.aeTargetFpsRange will be ignored by the camera device,
the camera device will fall back to android.control.mode `==` AUTO,
and the returned capture result metadata will give the fps range choosen
by the camera device.
Switching into or out of this mode may trigger some camera ISP/sensor
reconfigurations, which may introduce extra latency. It is recommended that
the application avoids unnecessary scene mode switch as much as possible.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true">HDR
<notes>
Turn on a device-specific high dynamic range (HDR) mode.
In this scene mode, the camera device captures images
that keep a larger range of scene illumination levels
visible in the final image. For example, when taking a
picture of a object in front of a bright window, both
the object and the scene through the window may be
visible when using HDR mode, while in normal AUTO mode,
one or the other may be poorly exposed. As a tradeoff,
HDR mode generally takes much longer to capture a single
image, has no user control, and may have other artifacts
depending on the HDR method used.
Therefore, HDR captures operate at a much slower rate
than regular captures.
In this mode, on LIMITED or FULL devices, when a request
is made with a android.control.captureIntent of
STILL_CAPTURE, the camera device will capture an image
using a high dynamic range capture technique. On LEGACY
devices, captures that target a JPEG-format output will
be captured with HDR, and the capture intent is not
relevant.
The HDR capture may involve the device capturing a burst
of images internally and combining them into one, or it
may involve the device using specialized high dynamic
range capture hardware. In all cases, a single image is
produced in response to a capture request submitted
while in HDR mode.
Since substantial post-processing is generally needed to
produce an HDR image, only YUV, PRIVATE, and JPEG
outputs are supported for LIMITED/FULL device HDR
captures, and only JPEG outputs are supported for LEGACY
HDR captures. Using a RAW output for HDR capture is not
supported.
Some devices may also support always-on HDR, which
applies HDR processing at full frame rate. For these
devices, intents other than STILL_CAPTURE will also
produce an HDR output with no frame rate impact compared
to normal operation, though the quality may be lower
than for STILL_CAPTURE intents.
If SCENE_MODE_HDR is used with unsupported output types
or capture intents, the images captured will be as if
the SCENE_MODE was not enabled at all.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true" hidden="true">FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT
<notes>Same as FACE_PRIORITY scene mode, except that the camera
device will choose higher sensitivity values (android.sensor.sensitivity)
under low light conditions.
The camera device may be tuned to expose the images in a reduced
sensitivity range to produce the best quality images. For example,
if the android.sensor.info.sensitivityRange gives range of [100, 1600],
the camera device auto-exposure routine tuning process may limit the actual
exposure sensitivity range to [100, 1200] to ensure that the noise level isn't
exessive in order to preserve the image quality. Under this situation, the image under
low light may be under-exposed when the sensor max exposure time (bounded by the
android.control.aeTargetFpsRange when android.control.aeMode is one of the
ON_* modes) and effective max sensitivity are reached. This scene mode allows the
camera device auto-exposure routine to increase the sensitivity up to the max
sensitivity specified by android.sensor.info.sensitivityRange when the scene is too
dark and the max exposure time is reached. The captured images may be noisier
compared with the images captured in normal FACE_PRIORITY mode; therefore, it is
recommended that the application only use this scene mode when it is capable of
reducing the noise level of the captured images.
Unlike the other scene modes, android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode
remain active when FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT is set.

Scene modes are custom camera modes optimized for a certain set of conditions and
capture settings.
This is the mode that that is active when
`android.control.mode == USE_SCENE_MODE`. Aside from FACE_PRIORITY, these modes will
disable android.control.aeMode, android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode
while in use.
The interpretation and implementation of these scene modes is left
to the implementor of the camera device. Their behavior will not be
consistent across all devices, and any given device may only implement
a subset of these modes.
</details>
<hal_details>
HAL implementations that include scene modes are expected to provide
the per-scene settings to use for android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode in
android.control.sceneModeOverrides.
For HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO mode, if it is included in android.control.availableSceneModes,
the HAL must list supported video size and fps range in
android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations. For a given size, e.g.
1280x720, if the HAL has two different sensor configurations for normal streaming
mode and high speed streaming, when this scene mode is set/reset in a sequence of capture
requests, the HAL may have to switch between different sensor modes.
This mode is deprecated in HAL3.3, to support high speed video recording, please implement
android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations and CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO
capbility defined in android.request.availableCapabilities.

<description>Whether video stabilization is

<details>
Video stabilization automatically warps images from
the camera in order to stabilize motion between consecutive frames.
If enabled, video stabilization can modify the
android.scaler.cropRegion to keep the video stream stabilized.
Switching between different video stabilization modes may take several
frames to initialize, the camera device will report the current mode
in capture result metadata. For example, When "ON" mode is requested,
the video stabilization modes in the first several capture results may
still be "OFF", and it will become "ON" when the initialization is
done.
In addition, not all recording sizes or frame rates may be supported for
stabilization by a device that reports stabilization support. It is guaranteed
that an output targeting a MediaRecorder or MediaCodec will be stabilized if
the recording resolution is less than or equal to 1920 x 1080 (width less than
or equal to 1920, height less than or equal to 1080), and the recording
frame rate is less than or equal to 30fps. At other sizes, the CaptureResult
android.control.videoStabilizationMode field will return
OFF if the recording output is not stabilized, or if there are no output
Surface types that can be stabilized.
If a camera device supports both this mode and OIS
(android.lens.opticalStabilizationMode), turning both modes on may
produce undesirable interaction, so it is recommended not to enable
both at the same time.

The order of this list matches that of availableSceneModes,

<details>
Switching between or enabling AF modes (android.control.afMode) always
resets the AF state to INACTIVE. Similarly, switching between android.control.mode,
or android.control.sceneMode if `android.control.mode == USE_SCENE_MODE` resets all
the algorithm states to INACTIVE.
The camera device can do several state transitions between two results, if it is
allowed by the state transition table. For example: INACTIVE may never actually be
seen in a result.
The state in the result is the state for this image (in sync with this image): if
AF state becomes FOCUSED, then the image data associated with this result should
be sharp.
Below are state transition tables for different AF modes.
When android.control.afMode is AF_MODE_OFF or AF_MODE_EDOF:

For the above table, the camera device may skip reporting any state changes that happen
without application intervention (i.e. mode switch, trigger, locking). Any state that
can be skipped in that manner is called a transient state.
For example, for these AF modes (AF_MODE_AUTO and AF_MODE_MACRO), in addition to the

When switch between AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_* (CAF modes) and AF_MODE_AUTO/AF_MODE_MACRO
(AUTO modes), the initial INACTIVE or PASSIVE_SCAN states may be skipped by the
camera device. When a trigger is included in a mode switch request, the trigger
will be evaluated in the context of the new mode in the request.

List of available high speed video size, fps range and max batch size configurations
supported by the camera device, in the format of (width, height, fps_min, fps_max, batch_size_max).
</description>
<range>
For each configuration, the fps_max &gt;= 120fps.
</range>
<details>
When CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO is supported in android.request.availableCapabilities,
this metadata will list the supported high speed video size, fps range and max batch size
configurations. All the sizes listed in this configuration will be a subset of the sizes
reported by {@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputSizes}
for processed non-stalling formats.
For the high speed video use case, the application must
select the video size and fps range from this metadata to configure the recording and
preview streams and setup the recording requests. For example, if the application intends
to do high speed recording, it can select the maximum size reported by this metadata to
configure output streams. Once the size is selected, application can filter this metadata
by selected size and get the supported fps ranges, and use these fps ranges to setup the
recording requests. Note that for the use case of multiple output streams, application
must select one unique size from this metadata to use (e.g., preview and recording streams
must have the same size). Otherwise, the high speed capture session creation will fail.
The min and max fps will be multiple times of 30fps.
High speed video streaming extends significant performance pressue to camera hardware,
to achieve efficient high speed streaming, the camera device may have to aggregate
multiple frames together and send to camera device for processing where the request
controls are same for all the frames in this batch. Max batch size indicates
the max possible number of frames the camera device will group together for this high
speed stream configuration. This max batch size will be used to generate a high speed
recording request list by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession#createHighSpeedRequestList}.
The max batch size for each configuration will satisfy below conditions:
* Each max batch size will be a divisor of its corresponding fps_max / 30. For example,
if max_fps is 300, max batch size will only be 1, 2, 5, or 10.
* The camera device may choose smaller internal batch size for each configuration, but
the actual batch size will be a divisor of max batch size. For example, if the max batch
size is 8, the actual batch size used by camera device will only be 1, 2, 4, or 8.
* The max batch size in each configuration entry must be no larger than 32.
The camera device doesn't have to support batch mode to achieve high speed video recording,
in such case, batch_size_max will be reported as 1 in each configuration entry.
This fps ranges in this configuration list can only be used to create requests
that are submitted to a high speed camera capture session created by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}.
The fps ranges reported in this metadata must not be used to setup capture requests for
normal capture session, or it will cause request error.
</details>
<hal_details>
All the sizes listed in this configuration will be a subset of the sizes reported by
android.scaler.availableStreamConfigurations for processed non-stalling output formats.
Note that for all high speed video configurations, HAL must be able to support a minimum
of two streams, though the application might choose to configure just one stream.
The HAL may support multiple sensor modes for high speed outputs, for example, 120fps
sensor mode and 120fps recording, 240fps sensor mode for 240fps recording. The application
usually starts preview first, then starts recording. To avoid sensor mode switch caused
stutter when starting recording as much as possible, the application may want to ensure
the same sensor mode is used for preview and recording. Therefore, The HAL must advertise
the variable fps range [30, fps_max] for each fixed fps range in this configuration list.
For example, if the HAL advertises [120, 120] and [240, 240], the HAL must also advertise
[30, 120] and [30, 240] for each configuration. In doing so, if the application intends to
do 120fps recording, it can select [30, 120] to start preview, and [120, 120] to start
recording. For these variable fps ranges, it's up to the HAL to decide the actual fps
values that are suitable for smooth preview streaming. If the HAL sees different max_fps
values that fall into different sensor modes in a sequence of requests, the HAL must
switch the sensor mode as quick as possible to minimize the mode switch caused stutter.

boost to the nearest supported value.
The final boost value used will be available in the output capture result.
For devices that support post RAW sensitivity boost, the YUV/JPEG output images
of such device will have the total sensitivity of
`android.sensor.sensitivity * android.control.postRawSensitivityBoost / 100`
The sensitivity of RAW format images will always be `android.sensor.sensitivity`

<notes>Edge enhancement is applied at different levels for different output streams,
based on resolution. Streams at maximum recording resolution (see {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createCaptureSession}) or below have
edge enhancement applied, while higher-resolution streams have no edge enhancement
applied. The level of edge enhancement for low-resolution streams is tuned so that
frame rate is not impacted, and the quality is equal to or better than FAST (since it
is only applied to lower-resolution outputs, quality may improve from FAST).
This mode is intended to be used by applications operating in a zero-shutter-lag mode
with YUV or PRIVATE reprocessing, where the application continuously captures
high-resolution intermediate buffers into a circular buffer, from which a final image is
produced via reprocessing when a user takes a picture. For such a use case, the
high-resolution buffers must not have edge enhancement applied to maximize efficiency of
preview and to avoid double-applying enhancement when reprocessed, while low-resolution
buffers (used for recording or preview, generally) need edge enhancement applied for
reasonable preview quality.
This mode is guaranteed to be supported by devices that support either the
YUV_REPROCESSING or PRIVATE_REPROCESSING capabilities
(android.request.availableCapabilities lists either of those capabilities) and it will
be the default mode for CAMERA3_TEMPLATE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG template.

<description>Operation mode for edge
enhancement.</description>
<range>android.edge.availableEdgeModes</range>
<details>Edge enhancement improves sharpness and details in the captured image. OFF means
no enhancement will be applied by the camera device.
FAST/HIGH_QUALITY both mean camera device determined enhancement
will be applied. HIGH_QUALITY mode indicates that the
camera device will use the highest-quality enhancement algorithms,
even if it slows down capture rate. FAST means the camera device will
not slow down capture rate when applying edge enhancement. FAST may be the same as OFF if
edge enhancement will slow down capture rate. Every output stream will have a similar
amount of enhancement applied.
ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG is meant to be used by applications that maintain a continuous circular
buffer of high-resolution images during preview and reprocess image(s) from that buffer
into a final capture when triggered by the user. In this mode, the camera device applies
edge enhancement to low-resolution streams (below maximum recording resolution) to
maximize preview quality, but does not apply edge enhancement to high-resolution streams,
since those will be reprocessed later if necessary.
For YUV_REPROCESSING, these FAST/HIGH_QUALITY modes both mean that the camera
device will apply FAST/HIGH_QUALITY YUV-domain edge enhancement, respectively.
The camera device may adjust its internal edge enhancement parameters for best
image quality based on the android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor, if it is set.
</details>
<hal_details>
For YUV_REPROCESSING The HAL can use android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor to
adjust the internal edge enhancement reduction parameters appropriately to get the best
quality images.

HAL must support both FAST and HIGH_QUALITY if edge enhancement control is available

This control is only effective when flash unit is available

When this control is used, the android.control.aeMode must be set to ON or OFF.
Otherwise, the camera device auto-exposure related flash control (ON_AUTO_FLASH,
ON_ALWAYS_FLASH, or ON_AUTO_FLASH_REDEYE) will override this control.
When set to OFF, the camera device will not fire flash for this capture.
When set to SINGLE, the camera device will fire flash regardless of the camera
device's auto-exposure routine's result. When used in still capture case, this
control should be used along with auto-exposure (AE) precapture metering sequence
(android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger), otherwise, the image may be incorrectly exposed.
When set to TORCH, the flash will be on continuously. This mode can be used
for use cases such as preview, auto-focus assist, still capture, or video recording.
The flash status will be reported by android.flash.state in the capture result metadata.

<range>android.jpeg.availableThumbnailSizes</range>
<details>When set to (0, 0) value, the JPEG EXIF will not contain thumbnail,
but the captured JPEG will still be a valid image.
For best results, when issuing a request for a JPEG image, the thumbnail size selected
should have the same aspect ratio as the main JPEG output.
If the thumbnail image aspect ratio differs from the JPEG primary image aspect
ratio, the camera device creates the thumbnail by cropping it from the primary image.
For example, if the primary image has 4:3 aspect ratio, the thumbnail image has
16:9 aspect ratio, the primary image will be cropped vertically (letterbox) to
generate the thumbnail image. The thumbnail image will always have a smaller Field
Of View (FOV) than the primary image when aspect ratios differ.
When an android.jpeg.orientation of non-zero degree is requested,
the camera device will handle thumbnail rotation in one of the following ways:
* Set the {@link android.media.ExifInterface#TAG_ORIENTATION EXIF orientation flag}
and keep jpeg and thumbnail image data unrotated.
* Rotate the jpeg and thumbnail image data and not set
{@link android.media.ExifInterface#TAG_ORIENTATION EXIF orientation flag}. In this
case, LIMITED or FULL hardware level devices will report rotated thumnail size in
capture result, so the width and height will be interchanged if 90 or 270 degree
orientation is requested. LEGACY device will always report unrotated thumbnail
size.
</details>
<hal_details>
The HAL must not squeeze or stretch the downscaled primary image to generate thumbnail.
The cropping must be done on the primary jpeg image rather than the sensor active array.
The stream cropping rule specified by "S5. Cropping" in camera3.h doesn't apply to the
thumbnail image cropping.

Lens filters are typically used to lower the amount of light the

step is the standard logarithmic representation, which are
non-negative, and inversely proportional to the amount of light
hitting the sensor. For example, setting this to 0 would result
in no reduction of the incoming light, and setting this to 2 would
mean that the filter is set to reduce incoming light by two stops
(allowing 1/4 of the prior amount of light to the sensor).

<description>
Sets whether the camera device uses optical image stabilization (OIS)

</description>
<range>android.lens.info.availableOpticalStabilization</range>
<details>
OIS is used to compensate for motion blur due to small
movements of the camera during capture. Unlike digital image
stabilization (android.control.videoStabilizationMode), OIS
makes use of mechanical elements to stabilize the camera
sensor, and thus allows for longer exposure times before
camera shake becomes apparent.
Switching between different optical stabilization modes may take several
frames to initialize, the camera device will report the current mode in
capture result metadata. For example, When "ON" mode is requested, the
optical stabilization modes in the first several capture results may still
be "OFF", and it will become "ON" when the initialization is done.
If a camera device supports both OIS and digital image stabilization
(android.control.videoStabilizationMode), turning both modes on may produce undesirable
interaction, so it is recommended not to enable both at the same time.
Not all devices will support OIS; see
android.lens.info.availableOpticalStabilization for
available controls.

<description>The lens focus distance calibration quality.</description>
<details>
The lens focus distance calibration quality determines the reliability of
focus related metadata entries, i.e. android.lens.focusDistance,
android.lens.focusRange, android.lens.info.hyperfocalDistance, and
android.lens.info.minimumFocusDistance.
APPROXIMATE and CALIBRATED devices report the focus metadata in
units of diopters (1/meter), so `0.0f` represents focusing at infinity,
and increasing positive numbers represent focusing closer and closer
to the camera device. The focus distance control also uses diopters
on these devices.
UNCALIBRATED devices do not use units that are directly comparable
to any real physical measurement, but `0.0f` still represents farthest
focus, and android.lens.info.minimumFocusDistance represents the
nearest focus the device can achieve.
</details>
<hal_details>
For devices advertise APPROXIMATE quality or higher, diopters 0 (infinity
focus) must work. When autofocus is disabled (android.control.afMode == OFF)
and the lens focus distance is set to 0 diopters
(android.lens.focusDistance == 0), the lens will move to focus at infinity

lens some time to move; during the move the lens state should be MOVING and

Quaternion coefficients

<details>
The four coefficients that describe the quaternion
rotation from the Android sensor coordinate system to a
camera-aligned coordinate system where the X-axis is
aligned with the long side of the image sensor, the Y-axis
is aligned with the short side of the image sensor, and
the Z-axis is aligned with the optical axis of the sensor.
To convert from the quaternion coefficients `(x,y,z,w)`
to the axis of rotation `(a_x, a_y, a_z)` and rotation
amount `theta`, the following formulas can be used:
theta = 2 * acos(w)
a_x = x / sin(theta/2)
a_y = y / sin(theta/2)
a_z = z / sin(theta/2)
To create a 3x3 rotation matrix that applies the rotation
defined by this quaternion, the following matrix can be
used:
R = [ 1 - 2y^2 - 2z^2, 2xy - 2zw, 2xz + 2yw,
2xy + 2zw, 1 - 2x^2 - 2z^2, 2yz - 2xw,
2xz - 2yw, 2yz + 2xw, 1 - 2x^2 - 2y^2 ]
This matrix can then be used to apply the rotation to a
column vector point with
`p' = Rp`
where `p` is in the device sensor coordinate system, and
`p'` is in the camera-oriented coordinate system.

<description>Position of the camera optical center.</description>

<details>
The position of the camera device's lens optical center,
as a three-dimensional vector `(x,y,z)`, relative to the
optical center of the largest camera device facing in the
same direction as this camera, in the {@link
android.hardware.SensorEvent Android sensor coordinate
axes}. Note that only the axis definitions are shared with
the sensor coordinate system, but not the origin.
If this device is the largest or only camera device with a
given facing, then this position will be `(0, 0, 0)`; a
camera device with a lens optical center located 3 cm from
the main sensor along the +X axis (to the right from the
user's perspective) will report `(0.03, 0, 0)`.
To transform a pixel coordinates between two cameras
facing the same direction, first the source camera
android.lens.radialDistortion must be corrected for. Then
the source camera android.lens.intrinsicCalibration needs
to be applied, followed by the android.lens.poseRotation
of the source camera, the translation of the source camera
relative to the destination camera, the
android.lens.poseRotation of the destination camera, and
finally the inverse of android.lens.intrinsicCalibration
of the destination camera. This obtains a
radial-distortion-free coordinate in the destination
camera pixel coordinates.
To compare this against a real image from the destination
camera, the destination camera image then needs to be
corrected for radial distortion before comparison or
sampling.

For lens parameters android.lens.focalLength, android.lens.focusDistance,
android.lens.filterDensity and android.lens.aperture, when changes are requested,
they may take several frames to reach the requested values. This state indicates
the current status of the lens parameters.
When the state is STATIONARY, the lens parameters are not changing. This could be
either because the parameters are all fixed, or because the lens has had enough
time to reach the most recently-requested values.
If all these lens parameters are not changable for a camera device, as listed below:
* Fixed focus (`android.lens.info.minimumFocusDistance == 0`), which means
android.lens.focusDistance parameter will always be 0.
* Fixed focal length (android.lens.info.availableFocalLengths contains single value),
which means the optical zoom is not supported.
* No ND filter (android.lens.info.availableFilterDensities contains only 0).
* Fixed aperture (android.lens.info.availableApertures contains single value).
Then this state will always be STATIONARY.
When the state is MOVING, it indicates that at least one of the lens parameters
is changing.

The parameters for this camera device's intrinsic
calibration.
</description>
<units>
Pixels in the
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize
coordinate system.
</units>
<details>
The five calibration parameters that describe the
transform from camera-centric 3D coordinates to sensor
pixel coordinates:
[f_x, f_y, c_x, c_y, s]
Where `f_x` and `f_y` are the horizontal and vertical
focal lengths, `[c_x, c_y]` is the position of the optical
axis, and `s` is a skew parameter for the sensor plane not
being aligned with the lens plane.
These are typically used within a transformation matrix K:
K = [ f_x, s, c_x,
0, f_y, c_y,
0 0, 1 ]
which can then be combined with the camera pose rotation
`R` and translation `t` (android.lens.poseRotation and
android.lens.poseTranslation, respective) to calculate the
complete transform from world coordinates to pixel
coordinates:
P = [ K 0 * [ R t
0 1 ] 0 1 ]
and with `p_w` being a point in the world coordinate system
and `p_s` being a point in the camera active pixel array
coordinate system, and with the mapping including the
homogeneous division by z:
p_h = (x_h, y_h, z_h) = P p_w
p_s = p_h / z_h
so `[x_s, y_s]` is the pixel coordinates of the world
point, `z_s = 1`, and `w_s` is a measurement of disparity
(depth) in pixel coordinates.
Note that the coordinate system for this transform is the
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize system,
where `(0,0)` is the top-left of the
preCorrectionActiveArraySize rectangle. Once the pose and
intrinsic calibration transforms have been applied to a
world point, then the android.lens.radialDistortion
transform needs to be applied, and the result adjusted to
be in the android.sensor.info.activeArraySize coordinate
system (where `(0, 0)` is the top-left of the
activeArraySize rectangle), to determine the final pixel
coordinate of the world point for processed (non-RAW)
output buffers.

Unitless coefficients.

<details>
Four radial distortion coefficients `[kappa_0, kappa_1, kappa_2,
kappa_3]` and two tangential distortion coefficients
`[kappa_4, kappa_5]` that can be used to correct the
lens's geometric distortion with the mapping equations:
x_c = x_i * ( kappa_0 + kappa_1 * r^2 + kappa_2 * r^4 + kappa_3 * r^6 ) +
kappa_4 * (2 * x_i * y_i) + kappa_5 * ( r^2 + 2 * x_i^2 )
y_c = y_i * ( kappa_0 + kappa_1 * r^2 + kappa_2 * r^4 + kappa_3 * r^6 ) +
kappa_5 * (2 * x_i * y_i) + kappa_4 * ( r^2 + 2 * y_i^2 )
Here, `[x_c, y_c]` are the coordinates to sample in the
input image that correspond to the pixel values in the
corrected image at the coordinate `[x_i, y_i]`:
correctedImage(x_i, y_i) = sample_at(x_c, y_c, inputImage)
The pixel coordinates are defined in a normalized
coordinate system related to the
android.lens.intrinsicCalibration calibration fields.
Both `[x_i, y_i]` and `[x_c, y_c]` have `(0,0)` at the
lens optical center `[c_x, c_y]`. The maximum magnitudes
of both x and y coordinates are normalized to be 1 at the
edge further from the optical center, so the range
for both dimensions is `-1 <= x <= 1`.
Finally, `r` represents the radial distance from the
optical center, `r^2 = x_i^2 + y_i^2`, and its magnitude
is therefore no larger than `|r| <= sqrt(2)`.
The distortion model used is the Brown-Conrady model.

<notes>MINIMAL noise reduction is applied without reducing frame rate relative to
sensor output. </notes></value>
<value optional="true">ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG
<notes>Noise reduction is applied at different levels for different output streams,
based on resolution. Streams at maximum recording resolution (see {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createCaptureSession}) or below have noise
reduction applied, while higher-resolution streams have MINIMAL (if supported) or no
noise reduction applied (if MINIMAL is not supported.) The degree of noise reduction
for low-resolution streams is tuned so that frame rate is not impacted, and the quality
is equal to or better than FAST (since it is only applied to lower-resolution outputs,
quality may improve from FAST).
This mode is intended to be used by applications operating in a zero-shutter-lag mode
with YUV or PRIVATE reprocessing, where the application continuously captures
high-resolution intermediate buffers into a circular buffer, from which a final image is
produced via reprocessing when a user takes a picture. For such a use case, the
high-resolution buffers must not have noise reduction applied to maximize efficiency of
preview and to avoid over-applying noise filtering when reprocessing, while
low-resolution buffers (used for recording or preview, generally) need noise reduction
applied for reasonable preview quality.
This mode is guaranteed to be supported by devices that support either the
YUV_REPROCESSING or PRIVATE_REPROCESSING capabilities
(android.request.availableCapabilities lists either of those capabilities) and it will
be the default mode for CAMERA3_TEMPLATE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG template.

<description>Mode of operation for the noise reduction algorithm.</description>
<range>android.noiseReduction.availableNoiseReductionModes</range>
<details>The noise reduction algorithm attempts to improve image quality by removing
excessive noise added by the capture process, especially in dark conditions.
OFF means no noise reduction will be applied by the camera device, for both raw and
YUV domain.
MINIMAL means that only sensor raw domain basic noise reduction is enabled ,to remove
demosaicing or other processing artifacts. For YUV_REPROCESSING, MINIMAL is same as OFF.
This mode is optional, may not be support by all devices. The application should check
android.noiseReduction.availableNoiseReductionModes before using it.
FAST/HIGH_QUALITY both mean camera device determined noise filtering
will be applied. HIGH_QUALITY mode indicates that the camera device
will use the highest-quality noise filtering algorithms,
even if it slows down capture rate. FAST means the camera device will not
slow down capture rate when applying noise filtering. FAST may be the same as MINIMAL if
MINIMAL is listed, or the same as OFF if any noise filtering will slow down capture rate.
Every output stream will have a similar amount of enhancement applied.
ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG is meant to be used by applications that maintain a continuous circular
buffer of high-resolution images during preview and reprocess image(s) from that buffer
into a final capture when triggered by the user. In this mode, the camera device applies
noise reduction to low-resolution streams (below maximum recording resolution) to maximize
preview quality, but does not apply noise reduction to high-resolution streams, since
those will be reprocessed later if necessary.
For YUV_REPROCESSING, these FAST/HIGH_QUALITY modes both mean that the camera device
will apply FAST/HIGH_QUALITY YUV domain noise reduction, respectively. The camera device
may adjust the noise reduction parameters for best image quality based on the
android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor if it is set.
</details>
<hal_details>
For YUV_REPROCESSING The HAL can use android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor to
adjust the internal noise reduction parameters appropriately to get the best quality
images.

<value optional="true">MANUAL_SENSOR
<notes>
The camera device can be manually controlled (3A algorithms such
as auto-exposure, and auto-focus can be bypassed).
The camera device supports basic manual control of the sensor image
acquisition related stages. This means the following controls are
guaranteed to be supported:
* Manual frame duration control

</value>
<value optional="true">BURST_CAPTURE
<notes>
The camera device supports capturing high-resolution images at >= 20 frames per
second, in at least the uncompressed YUV format, when post-processing settings are set
to FAST. Additionally, maximum-resolution images can be captured at >= 10 frames
per second. Here, 'high resolution' means at least 8 megapixels, or the maximum
resolution of the device, whichever is smaller.
More specifically, this means that a size matching the camera device's active array
size is listed as a supported size for the {@link
android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} format in either {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputSizes} or {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getHighResolutionOutputSizes},
with a minimum frame duration for that format and size of either <= 1/20 s, or
<= 1/10 s, respectively; and the android.control.aeAvailableTargetFpsRanges entry
lists at least one FPS range where the minimum FPS is >= 1 / minimumFrameDuration
for the maximum-size YUV_420_888 format. If that maximum size is listed in {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getHighResolutionOutputSizes},
then the list of resolutions for YUV_420_888 from {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputSizes} contains at
least one resolution >= 8 megapixels, with a minimum frame duration of <= 1/20
s.
If the device supports the {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#RAW10}, {@link
android.graphics.ImageFormat#RAW12}, then those can also be captured at the same rate
as the maximum-size YUV_420_888 resolution is.
If the device supports the PRIVATE_REPROCESSING capability, then the same guarantees
as for the YUV_420_888 format also apply to the {@link
android.graphics.ImageFormat#PRIVATE} format.
In addition, the android.sync.maxLatency field is guaranted to have a value between 0
and 4, inclusive. android.control.aeLockAvailable and android.control.awbLockAvailable
are also guaranteed to be `true` so burst capture with these two locks ON yields
consistent image output.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true" ndk_hidden="true">YUV_REPROCESSING
<notes>
The camera device supports the YUV_420_888 reprocessing use case, similar as
PRIVATE_REPROCESSING, This capability requires the camera device to support the
following:
* One input stream is supported, that is, `android.request.maxNumInputStreams == 1`.
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} is supported as an output/input format, that is,
YUV_420_888 is included in the lists of formats returned by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getInputFormats} and
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputFormats}.
* {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getValidOutputFormatsForInput}
returns non-empty int[] for each supported input format returned by {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getInputFormats}.
* Each size returned by {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getInputSizes
getInputSizes(YUV_420_888)} is also included in {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputSizes
getOutputSizes(YUV_420_888)}
* Using {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} does not cause a frame rate drop
relative to the sensor's maximum capture rate (at that resolution).
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} will be reprocessable into both
{@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} and {@link
android.graphics.ImageFormat#JPEG} formats.
* The maximum available resolution for {@link
android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} streams (both input/output) will match the
maximum available resolution of {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#JPEG} streams.
* Static metadata android.reprocess.maxCaptureStall.
* Only the below controls are effective for reprocessing requests and will be present
in capture results. The reprocess requests are from the original capture results that
are associated with the intermediate {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888}
output buffers. All other controls in the reprocess requests will be ignored by the
camera device.
* android.jpeg.*
* android.noiseReduction.mode
* android.edge.mode
* android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor
* android.noiseReduction.availableNoiseReductionModes and
android.edge.availableEdgeModes will both list ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG as a supported mode.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true">DEPTH_OUTPUT
<notes>
The camera device can produce depth measurements from its field of view.
This capability requires the camera device to support the following:
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#DEPTH16} is supported as an output format.
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#DEPTH_POINT_CLOUD} is optionally supported as an
output format.
* This camera device, and all camera devices with the same android.lens.facing,
will list the following calibration entries in both
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraCharacteristics} and
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CaptureResult}:
- android.lens.poseTranslation
- android.lens.poseRotation
- android.lens.intrinsicCalibration
- android.lens.radialDistortion
* The android.depth.depthIsExclusive entry is listed by this device.
* A LIMITED camera with only the DEPTH_OUTPUT capability does not have to support
normal YUV_420_888, JPEG, and PRIV-format outputs. It only has to support the DEPTH16
format.
Generally, depth output operates at a slower frame rate than standard color capture,
so the DEPTH16 and DEPTH_POINT_CLOUD formats will commonly have a stall duration that
should be accounted for (see
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputStallDuration}).
On a device that supports both depth and color-based output, to enable smooth preview,
using a repeating burst is recommended, where a depth-output target is only included
once every N frames, where N is the ratio between preview output rate and depth output
rate, including depth stall time.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true" ndk_hidden="true">CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO
<notes>
The device supports constrained high speed video recording (frame rate >=120fps)
use case. The camera device will support high speed capture session created by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}, which
only accepts high speed request lists created by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession#createHighSpeedRequestList}.
A camera device can still support high speed video streaming by advertising the high speed
FPS ranges in android.control.aeAvailableTargetFpsRanges. For this case, all normal
capture request per frame control and synchronization requirements will apply to
the high speed fps ranges, the same as all other fps ranges. This capability describes
the capability of a specialized operating mode with many limitations (see below), which
is only targeted at high speed video recording.
The supported high speed video sizes and fps ranges are specified in
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges}.
To get desired output frame rates, the application is only allowed to select video size
and FPS range combinations provided by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getHighSpeedVideoSizes}.
The fps range can be controlled via android.control.aeTargetFpsRange.
In this capability, the camera device will override aeMode, awbMode, and afMode to
ON, AUTO, and CONTINUOUS_VIDEO, respectively. All post-processing block mode
controls will be overridden to be FAST. Therefore, no manual control of capture
and post-processing parameters is possible. All other controls operate the
same as when android.control.mode == AUTO. This means that all other
android.control.* fields continue to work, such as
* android.control.aeTargetFpsRange
* android.control.aeExposureCompensation
* android.control.aeLock
* android.control.awbLock
* android.control.effectMode
* android.control.aeRegions
* android.control.afRegions
* android.control.awbRegions
* android.control.afTrigger
* android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger
Outside of android.control.*, the following controls will work:
* android.flash.mode (TORCH mode only, automatic flash for still capture will not
work since aeMode is ON)
* android.lens.opticalStabilizationMode (if it is supported)
* android.scaler.cropRegion
* android.statistics.faceDetectMode (if it is supported)
For high speed recording use case, the actual maximum supported frame rate may
be lower than what camera can output, depending on the destination Surfaces for
the image data. For example, if the destination surface is from video encoder,
the application need check if the video encoder is capable of supporting the
high frame rate for a given video size, or it will end up with lower recording
frame rate. If the destination surface is from preview window, the actual preview frame
rate will be bounded by the screen refresh rate.
The camera device will only support up to 2 high speed simultaneous output surfaces
(preview and recording surfaces)
in this mode. Above controls will be effective only if all of below conditions are true:
* The application creates a camera capture session with no more than 2 surfaces via
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}. The
targeted surfaces must be preview surface (either from
{@link android.view.SurfaceView} or {@link android.graphics.SurfaceTexture}) or
recording surface(either from {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#getSurface} or
{@link android.media.MediaCodec#createInputSurface}).
* The stream sizes are selected from the sizes reported by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getHighSpeedVideoSizes}.
* The FPS ranges are selected from
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges}.
When above conditions are NOT satistied,
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}
will fail.
Switching to a FPS range that has different maximum FPS may trigger some camera device
reconfigurations, which may introduce extra latency. It is recommended that
the application avoids unnecessary maximum target FPS changes as much as possible
during high speed streaming.

<description>List of capabilities that this camera device
advertises as fully supporting.</description>
<details>
A capability is a contract that the camera device makes in order
to be able to satisfy one or more use cases.
Listing a capability guarantees that the whole set of features
required to support a common use will all be available.
Using a subset of the functionality provided by an unsupported
capability may be possible on a specific camera device implementation;
to do this query each of android.request.availableRequestKeys,
android.request.availableResultKeys,
android.request.availableCharacteristicsKeys.
The following capabilities are guaranteed to be available on
android.info.supportedHardwareLevel `==` FULL devices:
* MANUAL_SENSOR
* MANUAL_POST_PROCESSING
Other capabilities may be available on either FULL or LIMITED
devices, but the application should query this key to be sure.
</details>
<hal_details>
Additional constraint details per-capability will be available
in the Compatibility Test Suite.
Minimum baseline requirements required for the
BACKWARD_COMPATIBLE capability are not explicitly listed.
Instead refer to "BC" tags and the camera CTS tests in the
android.hardware.camera2.cts package.
Listed controls that can be either request or result (e.g.
android.sensor.exposureTime) must be available both in the
request and the result in order to be considered to be
capability-compliant.
For example, if the HAL claims to support MANUAL control,
then exposure time must be configurable via the request _and_
the actual exposure applied must be available via
the result.
If MANUAL_SENSOR is omitted, the HAL may choose to omit the
android.scaler.availableMinFrameDurations static property entirely.
For PRIVATE_REPROCESSING and YUV_REPROCESSING capabilities, see
hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/camera3.h Section 10 for more information.
Devices that support the MANUAL_SENSOR capability must support the
CAMERA3_TEMPLATE_MANUAL template defined in camera3.h.
Devices that support the PRIVATE_REPROCESSING capability or the
YUV_REPROCESSING capability must support the
CAMERA3_TEMPLATE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG template defined in camera3.h.
For DEPTH_OUTPUT, the depth-format keys
android.depth.availableDepthStreamConfigurations,
android.depth.availableDepthMinFrameDurations,
android.depth.availableDepthStallDurations must be available, in
addition to the other keys explicitly mentioned in the DEPTH_OUTPUT
enum notes. The entry android.depth.maxDepthSamples must be available

cropping to a smaller region if necessary to maintain the
stream's aspect ratio, then scaling the sensor input to
match the output's configured resolution.
The crop region is applied after the RAW to other color
space (e.g. YUV) conversion. Since raw streams
(e.g. RAW16) don't have the conversion stage, they are not
croppable. The crop region will be ignored by raw streams.
For non-raw streams, any additional per-stream cropping will
be done to maximize the final pixel area of the stream.
For example, if the crop region is set to a 4:3 aspect
ratio, then 4:3 streams will use the exact crop
region. 16:9 streams will further crop vertically
(letterbox).
Conversely, if the crop region is set to a 16:9, then 4:3
outputs will crop horizontally (pillarbox), and 16:9
streams will match exactly. These additional crops will
be centered within the crop region.
The width and height of the crop region cannot
be set to be smaller than
`floor( activeArraySize.width / android.scaler.availableMaxDigitalZoom )` and
`floor( activeArraySize.height / android.scaler.availableMaxDigitalZoom )`, respectively.
The camera device may adjust the crop region to account
for rounding and other hardware requirements; the final
crop region used will be included in the output capture
result.
</details>
<hal_details>
The output streams must maintain square pixels at all
times, no matter what the relative aspect ratios of the
crop region and the stream are. Negative values for
corner are allowed for raw output if full pixel array is
larger than active pixel array. Width and height may be
rounded to nearest larger supportable width, especially
for raw output, where only a few fixed scales may be
possible.
For a set of output streams configured, if the sensor output is cropped to a smaller
size than active array size, the HAL need follow below cropping rules:
* The HAL need handle the cropRegion as if the sensor crop size is the effective active
array size.More specifically, the HAL must transform the request cropRegion from
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize to the sensor cropped pixel area size in this way:
1. Translate the requested cropRegion w.r.t., the left top corner of the sensor
cropped pixel area by (tx, ty),
where `tx = sensorCrop.top * (sensorCrop.height / activeArraySize.height)`
and `tx = sensorCrop.left * (sensorCrop.width / activeArraySize.width)`. The
(sensorCrop.top, sensorCrop.left) is the coordinate based off the
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.
2. Scale the width and height of requested cropRegion with scaling factor of
sensorCrop.width/activeArraySize.width and sensorCrop.height/activeArraySize.height
respectively.
Once this new cropRegion is calculated, the HAL must use this region to crop the image
with regard to the sensor crop size (effective active array size). The HAL still need
follow the general cropping rule for this new cropRegion and effective active
array size.
* The HAL must report the cropRegion with regard to android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.
The HAL need convert the new cropRegion generated above w.r.t., full active array size.
The reported cropRegion may be slightly different with the requested cropRegion since
the HAL may adjust the crop region to account for rounding, conversion error, or other
hardware limitations.

<notes>
RAW16 is a standard, cross-platform format for raw image
buffers with 16-bit pixels.
Buffers of this format are typically expected to have a
Bayer Color Filter Array (CFA) layout, which is given in
android.sensor.info.colorFilterArrangement. Sensors with
CFAs that are not representable by a format in
android.sensor.info.colorFilterArrangement should not
use this format.
Buffers of this format will also follow the constraints given for
RAW_OPAQUE buffers, but with relaxed performance constraints.
This format is intended to give users access to the full contents
of the buffers coming directly from the image sensor prior to any
cropping or scaling operations, and all coordinate systems for
metadata used for this format are relative to the size of the
active region of the image sensor before any geometric distortion
correction has been applied (i.e.
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize). Supported
dimensions for this format are limited to the full dimensions of
the sensor (e.g. either android.sensor.info.pixelArraySize or
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize will be the
only supported output size).
See android.scaler.availableInputOutputFormatsMap for
the full set of performance guarantees.

<value optional="true" id="0x24">RAW_OPAQUE
<notes>
RAW_OPAQUE (or
{@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#RAW_PRIVATE RAW_PRIVATE}
as referred in public API) is a format for raw image buffers
coming from an image sensor.
The actual structure of buffers of this format is
platform-specific, but must follow several constraints:
1. No image post-processing operations may have been applied to
buffers of this type. These buffers contain raw image data coming
directly from the image sensor.
1. If a buffer of this format is passed to the camera device for
reprocessing, the resulting images will be identical to the images
produced if the buffer had come directly from the sensor and was
processed with the same settings.
The intended use for this format is to allow access to the native
raw format buffers coming directly from the camera sensor without
any additional conversions or decrease in framerate.
See android.scaler.availableInputOutputFormatsMap for the full set of
performance guarantees.

<details>
All camera devices will support JPEG and YUV_420_888 formats.
When set to YUV_420_888, application can access the YUV420 data directly.
</details>
<hal_details>
These format values are from HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_* in
system/core/include/system/graphics.h.
When IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED is used, the platform
gralloc module will select a format based on the usage flags provided
by the camera HAL device and the other endpoint of the stream. It is
usually used by preview and recording streams, where the application doesn't
need access the image data.
YCbCr_420_888 format must be supported by the HAL. When an image stream
needs CPU/application direct access, this format will be used.
The BLOB format must be supported by the HAL. This is used for the JPEG stream.
A RAW_OPAQUE buffer should contain only pixel data. It is strongly
recommended that any information used by the camera device when
processing images is fully expressed by the result metadata
for that image buffer.

</description>
<details>
All camera devices with at least 1
android.request.maxNumInputStreams will have at least one
available input format.
The camera device will support the following map of formats,
if its dependent capability (android.request.availableCapabilities) is supported:
Input Format | Output Format | Capability
:-------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------|:----------
{@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#PRIVATE} | {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#JPEG} | PRIVATE_REPROCESSING
{@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#PRIVATE} | {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} | PRIVATE_REPROCESSING
{@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} | {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#JPEG} | YUV_REPROCESSING
{@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} | {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888} | YUV_REPROCESSING
PRIVATE refers to a device-internal format that is not directly application-visible. A
PRIVATE input surface can be acquired by {@link android.media.ImageReader#newInstance}
with {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#PRIVATE} as the format.
For a PRIVATE_REPROCESSING-capable camera device, using the PRIVATE format as either input
or output will never hurt maximum frame rate (i.e. {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputStallDuration
getOutputStallDuration(ImageFormat.PRIVATE, size)} is always 0),
Attempting to configure an input stream with output streams not
listed as available in this map is not valid.
</details>
<hal_details>
For the formats, see `system/core/include/system/graphics.h` for a definition
of the image format enumerations. The PRIVATE format refers to the
HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED format. The HAL could determine
the actual format by using the gralloc usage flags.
For ZSL use case in particular, the HAL could choose appropriate format (partially
processed YUV or RAW based format) by checking the format and GRALLOC_USAGE_HW_CAMERA_ZSL.
See camera3.h for more details.
This value is encoded as a variable-size array-of-arrays.
The inner array always contains `[format, length, ...]` where
`...` has `length` elements. An inner array is followed by another
inner array if the total metadata entry size hasn't yet been exceeded.
A code sample to read/write this encoding (with a device that
supports reprocessing IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED to YUV_420_888, and JPEG,
and reprocessing YUV_420_888 to YUV_420_888 and JPEG):
// reading
int32_t* contents = &entry.i32[0];
for (size_t i = 0; i < entry.count; ) {
int32_t format = contents[i++];
int32_t length = contents[i++];
int32_t output_formats[length];
memcpy(&output_formats[0], &contents[i],
length * sizeof(int32_t));
i += length;
}
// writing (static example, PRIVATE_REPROCESSING + YUV_REPROCESSING)
int32_t[] contents = {
IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED, 2, YUV_420_888, BLOB,
YUV_420_888, 2, YUV_420_888, BLOB,
};
update_camera_metadata_entry(metadata, index, &contents[0],
sizeof(contents)/sizeof(contents[0]), &updated_entry);
If the HAL claims to support any of the capabilities listed in the

combinations listed for that capability. It can optionally support
additional formats if it so chooses.

</details>
<hal_details>
It is recommended (but not mandatory) to also include half/quarter
of sensor maximum resolution for JPEG formats (regardless of hardware
level).
(The following is a rewording of the above required table):
For JPEG format, the sizes may be restricted by below conditions:
* The HAL may choose the aspect ratio of each Jpeg size to be one of well known ones
(e.g. 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 etc.). If the sensor maximum resolution
(defined by android.sensor.info.activeArraySize) has an aspect ratio other than these,
it does not have to be included in the supported JPEG sizes.
* Some hardware JPEG encoders may have pixel boundary alignment requirements, such as
the dimensions being a multiple of 16.
Therefore, the maximum JPEG size may be smaller than sensor maximum resolution.
However, the largest JPEG size must be as close as possible to the sensor maximum
resolution given above constraints. It is required that after aspect ratio adjustments,
additional size reduction due to other issues must be less than 3% in area. For example,
if the sensor maximum resolution is 3280x2464, if the maximum JPEG size has aspect
ratio 4:3, the JPEG encoder alignment requirement is 16, the maximum JPEG size will be
3264x2448.
For FULL capability devices (`android.info.supportedHardwareLevel == FULL`),
the HAL must include all YUV_420_888 sizes that have JPEG sizes listed
here as output streams.
It must also include each below resolution if it is smaller than or
equal to the sensor maximum resolution (for both YUV_420_888 and JPEG
formats), as output streams:
* 240p (320 x 240)
* 480p (640 x 480)
* 720p (1280 x 720)
* 1080p (1920 x 1080)
For LIMITED capability devices
(`android.info.supportedHardwareLevel == LIMITED`),
the HAL only has to list up to the maximum video size
supported by the device.
Regardless of hardware level, every output resolution available for
YUV_420_888 must also be available for IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED.
This supercedes the following fields, which are now deprecated:
* availableFormats
* available[Processed,Raw,Jpeg]Sizes

<description>This lists the maximum stall duration for each

</description>
<units>(format, width, height, ns) x n</units>
<details>
A stall duration is how much extra time would get added
to the normal minimum frame duration for a repeating request
that has streams with non-zero stall.
For example, consider JPEG captures which have the following
characteristics:
* JPEG streams act like processed YUV streams in requests for which
they are not included; in requests in which they are directly
referenced, they act as JPEG streams. This is because supporting a
JPEG stream requires the underlying YUV data to always be ready for
use by a JPEG encoder, but the encoder will only be used (and impact
frame duration) on requests that actually reference a JPEG stream.
* The JPEG processor can run concurrently to the rest of the camera
pipeline, but cannot process more than 1 capture at a time.
In other words, using a repeating YUV request would result
in a steady frame rate (let's say it's 30 FPS). If a single
JPEG request is submitted periodically, the frame rate will stay
at 30 FPS (as long as we wait for the previous JPEG to return each
time). If we try to submit a repeating YUV + JPEG request, then
the frame rate will drop from 30 FPS.
In general, submitting a new request with a non-0 stall time
stream will _not_ cause a frame rate drop unless there are still
outstanding buffers for that stream from previous requests.
Submitting a repeating request with streams (call this `S`)
is the same as setting the minimum frame duration from
the normal minimum frame duration corresponding to `S`, added with
the maximum stall duration for `S`.
If interleaving requests with and without a stall duration,
a request will stall by the maximum of the remaining times
for each can-stall stream with outstanding buffers.
This means that a stalling request will not have an exposure start
until the stall has completed.
This should correspond to the stall duration when only that stream is
active, with all processing (typically in android.*.mode) set to FAST
or OFF. Setting any of the processing modes to HIGH_QUALITY
effectively results in an indeterminate stall duration for all
streams in a request (the regular stall calculation rules are
ignored).
The following formats may always have a stall duration:
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#JPEG}
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#RAW_SENSOR}
The following formats will never have a stall duration:
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888}
* {@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#RAW10}
All other formats may or may not have an allowed stall duration on
a per-capability basis; refer to android.request.availableCapabilities
for more details.
See android.sensor.frameDuration for more information about
calculating the max frame rate (absent stalls).
(Keep up to date with
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputStallDuration} )
</details>
<hal_details>
If possible, it is recommended that all non-JPEG formats
(such as RAW16) should not have a stall duration. RAW10, RAW12, RAW_OPAQUE
and IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED must not have stall durations.

*1: For JPEG format, the sizes may be restricted by below conditions:
* The HAL may choose the aspect ratio of each Jpeg size to be one of well known ones
(e.g. 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 etc.). If the sensor maximum resolution
(defined by android.sensor.info.activeArraySize) has an aspect ratio other than these,
it does not have to be included in the supported JPEG sizes.
* Some hardware JPEG encoders may have pixel boundary alignment requirements, such as
the dimensions being a multiple of 16.
Therefore, the maximum JPEG size may be smaller than sensor maximum resolution.
However, the largest JPEG size will be as close as possible to the sensor maximum
resolution given above constraints. It is required that after aspect ratio adjustments,
additional size reduction due to other issues must be less than 3% in area. For example,
if the sensor maximum resolution is 3280x2464, if the maximum JPEG size has aspect

3264x2448.

<details>
The maximum frame rate that can be supported by a camera subsystem is
a function of many factors:
* Requested resolutions of output image streams
* Availability of binning / skipping modes on the imager
* The bandwidth of the imager interface
* The bandwidth of the various ISP processing blocks
Since these factors can vary greatly between different ISPs and
sensors, the camera abstraction tries to represent the bandwidth
restrictions with as simple a model as possible.
The model presented has the following characteristics:
* The image sensor is always configured to output the smallest
resolution possible given the application's requested output stream
sizes. The smallest resolution is defined as being at least as large
as the largest requested output stream size; the camera pipeline must
never digitally upsample sensor data when the crop region covers the
whole sensor. In general, this means that if only small output stream
resolutions are configured, the sensor can provide a higher frame
rate.
* Since any request may use any or all the currently configured
output streams, the sensor and ISP must be configured to support
scaling a single capture to all the streams at the same time. This
means the camera pipeline must be ready to produce the largest
requested output size without any delay. Therefore, the overall
frame rate of a given configured stream set is governed only by the
largest requested stream resolution.
* Using more than one output stream in a request does not affect the
frame duration.
* Certain format-streams may need to do additional background processing
before data is consumed/produced by that stream. These processors
can run concurrently to the rest of the camera pipeline, but
cannot process more than 1 capture at a time.
The necessary information for the application, given the model above,
is provided via the android.scaler.streamConfigurationMap field using
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputMinFrameDuration}.
These are used to determine the maximum frame rate / minimum frame
duration that is possible for a given stream configuration.
Specifically, the application can use the following rules to
determine the minimum frame duration it can request from the camera
device:
1. Let the set of currently configured input/output streams
be called `S`.
1. Find the minimum frame durations for each stream in `S`, by looking
it up in android.scaler.streamConfigurationMap using {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputMinFrameDuration}
(with its respective size/format). Let this set of frame durations be
called `F`.
1. For any given request `R`, the minimum frame duration allowed
for `R` is the maximum out of all values in `F`. Let the streams
used in `R` be called `S_r`.
If none of the streams in `S_r` have a stall time (listed in {@link
android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputStallDuration}
using its respective size/format), then the frame duration in `F`
determines the steady state frame rate that the application will get
if it uses `R` as a repeating request. Let this special kind of
request be called `Rsimple`.
A repeating request `Rsimple` can be _occasionally_ interleaved
by a single capture of a new request `Rstall` (which has at least
one in-use stream with a non-0 stall time) and if `Rstall` has the
same minimum frame duration this will not cause a frame rate loss
if all buffers from the previous `Rstall` have already been
delivered.
For more details about stalling, see
{@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputStallDuration}.
This control is only effective if android.control.aeMode or android.control.mode is set to
OFF; otherwise the auto-exposure algorithm will override this value.

This specifies the fully-saturated encoding level for the raw
sample values from the sensor. This is typically caused by the
sensor becoming highly non-linear or clipping. The minimum for
each channel is specified by the offset in the
android.sensor.blackLevelPattern key.
The white level is typically determined either by sensor bit depth
(8-14 bits is expected), or by the point where the sensor response
becomes too non-linear to be useful. The default value for this is
maximum representable value for a 16-bit raw sample (2^16 - 1).
The white level values of captured images may vary for different
capture settings (e.g., android.sensor.sensitivity). This key
represents a coarse approximation for such case. It is recommended
to use android.sensor.dynamicWhiteLevel for captures when supported
by the camera device, which provides more accurate white level values.

The area of the image sensor which corresponds to active pixels prior to the

</description>
<units>Pixel coordinates on the image sensor</units>
<details>
This is the rectangle representing the size of the active region of the sensor (i.e.
the region that actually receives light from the scene) before any geometric correction
has been applied, and should be treated as the active region rectangle for any of the
raw formats. All metadata associated with raw processing (e.g. the lens shading
correction map, and radial distortion fields) treats the top, left of this rectangle as
the origin, (0,0).
The size of this region determines the maximum field of view and the maximum number of
pixels that an image from this sensor can contain, prior to the application of
geometric distortion correction. The effective maximum pixel dimensions of a
post-distortion-corrected image is given by the android.sensor.info.activeArraySize
field, and the effective maximum field of view for a post-distortion-corrected image
can be calculated by applying the geometric distortion correction fields to this
rectangle, and cropping to the rectangle given in android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.
E.g. to calculate position of a pixel, (x,y), in a processed YUV output image with the
dimensions in android.sensor.info.activeArraySize given the position of a pixel,
(x', y'), in the raw pixel array with dimensions give in
android.sensor.info.pixelArraySize:
1. Choose a pixel (x', y') within the active array region of the raw buffer given in
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize, otherwise this pixel is considered
to be outside of the FOV, and will not be shown in the processed output image.
1. Apply geometric distortion correction to get the post-distortion pixel coordinate,
(x_i, y_i). When applying geometric correction metadata, note that metadata for raw
buffers is defined relative to the top, left of the
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize rectangle.
1. If the resulting corrected pixel coordinate is within the region given in
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize, then the position of this pixel in the
processed output image buffer is `(x_i - activeArray.left, y_i - activeArray.top)`,
when the top, left coordinate of that buffer is treated as (0, 0).
Thus, for pixel x',y' = (25, 25) on a sensor where android.sensor.info.pixelArraySize
is (100,100), android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize is (10, 10, 100, 100),
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize is (20, 20, 80, 80), and the geometric distortion
correction doesn't change the pixel coordinate, the resulting pixel selected in
pixel coordinates would be x,y = (25, 25) relative to the top,left of the raw buffer
with dimensions given in android.sensor.info.pixelArraySize, and would be (5, 5)
relative to the top,left of post-processed YUV output buffer with dimensions given in
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.
The currently supported fields that correct for geometric distortion are:
1. android.lens.radialDistortion.
If all of the geometric distortion fields are no-ops, this rectangle will be the same
as the post-distortion-corrected rectangle given in
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.
This rectangle is defined relative to the full pixel array; (0,0) is the top-left of
the full pixel array, and the size of the full pixel array is given by
android.sensor.info.pixelArraySize.
The pre-correction active array may be smaller than the full pixel array, since the
full array may include black calibration pixels or other inactive regions.
</details>
<hal_details>
This array contains `(xmin, ymin, width, height)`. The `(xmin, ymin)` must be
&gt;= `(0,0)`.
The `(width, height)` must be &lt;= `android.sensor.info.pixelArraySize`.
If omitted by the HAL implementation, the camera framework will assume that this is
the same as the post-correction active array region given in
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.

<description>
A matrix that transforms color values from CIE XYZ color space to
reference sensor color space.
</description>
<details>
This matrix is used to convert from the standard CIE XYZ color
space to the reference sensor colorspace, and is used when processing
raw buffer data.
The matrix is expressed as a 3x3 matrix in row-major-order, and
contains a color transform matrix that maps colors from the CIE
XYZ color space to the reference sensor color space (i.e. the
"golden module" colorspace) under the second reference illuminant
(android.sensor.referenceIlluminant2).
The white points chosen in both the reference sensor color space
and the CIE XYZ colorspace when calculating this transform will
match the standard white point for the second reference illuminant
(i.e. no chromatic adaptation will be applied by this transform).
This matrix will only be present if the second reference
illuminant is present.

</description>
<range>
&gt;= 0
</range>
<details>
This value is an estimate of the worst case split between the
Bayer green channels in the red and blue rows in the sensor color
filter array.
The green split is calculated as follows:
1. A 5x5 pixel (or larger) window W within the active sensor array is
chosen. The term 'pixel' here is taken to mean a group of 4 Bayer
mosaic channels (R, Gr, Gb, B). The location and size of the window
chosen is implementation defined, and should be chosen to provide a
green split estimate that is both representative of the entire image
for this camera sensor, and can be calculated quickly.
1. The arithmetic mean of the green channels from the red
rows (mean_Gr) within W is computed.
1. The arithmetic mean of the green channels from the blue
rows (mean_Gb) within W is computed.
1. The maximum ratio R of the two means is computed as follows:
`R = max((mean_Gr + 1)/(mean_Gb + 1), (mean_Gb + 1)/(mean_Gr + 1))`
The ratio R is the green split divergence reported for this property,
which represents how much the green channels differ in the mosaic
pattern. This value is typically used to determine the treatment of
the green mosaic channels when demosaicing.
The green split value can be roughly interpreted as follows:
* R &lt; 1.03 is a negligible split (&lt;3% divergence).
* 1.20 &lt;= R &gt;= 1.03 will require some software
correction to avoid demosaic errors (3-20% divergence).
* R &gt; 1.20 will require strong software correction to produce
a usuable image (&gt;20% divergence).
</details>
<hal_details>
The green split given may be a static value based on prior
characterization of the camera sensor using the green split
calculation method given here over a large, representative, sample
set of images. Other methods of calculation that produce equivalent
results, and can be interpreted in the same manner, may be used.

are 100% green. All blue pixels are 100% black.

All pixel data is replaced with an 8-bar color pattern.
The vertical bars (left-to-right) are as follows:
* 100% white

* magenta
* red

In general the image would look like the following:

W Y C G M R B K
W Y C G M R B K
W Y C G M R B K
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
(B = Blue, K = Black)
Each bar should take up 1/8 of the sensor pixel array width.
When this is not possible, the bar size should be rounded
down to the nearest integer and the pattern can repeat
on the right side.
Each bar's height must always take up the full sensor
pixel array height.
Each pixel in this test pattern must be set to either
0% intensity or 100% intensity.

<value>COLOR_BARS_FADE_TO_GRAY
<notes>
The test pattern is similar to COLOR_BARS, except that
each bar should start at its specified color at the top,
and fade to gray at the bottom.
Furthermore each bar is further subdivided into a left and
right half. The left half should have a smooth gradient,
and the right half should have a quantized gradient.
In particular, the right half's should consist of blocks of the
same color for 1/16th active sensor pixel array width.
The least significant bits in the quantized gradient should
be copied from the most significant bits of the smooth gradient.
The height of each bar should always be a multiple of 128.
When this is not the case, the pattern should repeat at the bottom
of the image.

<details>
Camera sensor black levels may vary dramatically for different
capture settings (e.g. android.sensor.sensitivity). The fixed black
level reported by android.sensor.blackLevelPattern may be too
inaccurate to represent the actual value on a per-frame basis. The
camera device internal pipeline relies on reliable black level values
to process the raw images appropriately. To get the best image
quality, the camera device may choose to estimate the per frame black
level values either based on optically shielded black regions
(android.sensor.opticalBlackRegions) or its internal model.
This key reports the camera device estimated per-frame zero light
value for each of the CFA mosaic channels in the camera sensor. The
android.sensor.blackLevelPattern may only represent a coarse
approximation of the actual black level values. This value is the
black level used in camera device internal image processing pipeline
and generally more accurate than the fixed black level values.
However, since they are estimated values by the camera device, they
may not be as accurate as the black level values calculated from the
optical black pixels reported by android.sensor.opticalBlackRegions.
The values are given in the same order as channels listed for the CFA
layout key (see android.sensor.info.colorFilterArrangement), i.e. the

When set to other modes, lens shading correction will be applied by the camera
device. Applications can request lens shading map data by setting
android.statistics.lensShadingMapMode to ON, and then the camera device will provide lens
shading map data in android.statistics.lensShadingCorrectionMap; the returned shading map
data will be the one applied by the camera device for this capture request.
The shading map data may depend on the auto-exposure (AE) and AWB statistics, therefore
the reliability of the map data may be affected by the AE and AWB algorithms. When AE and
AWB are in AUTO modes(android.control.aeMode `!=` OFF and android.control.awbMode `!=`
OFF), to get best results, it is recommended that the applications wait for the AE and AWB
to be converged before using the returned shading map data.

HAL must support both FAST and HIGH_QUALITY if lens shading correction control is
available on the camera device, but the underlying implementation can be the same for
both modes. That is, if the highest quality implementation on the camera device does not
slow down capture rate, then FAST and HIGH_QUALITY will generate the same output.

<details>
The map provided here is the same map that is used by the camera device to
correct both color shading and vignetting for output non-RAW images.
When there is no lens shading correction applied to RAW
output images (android.sensor.info.lensShadingApplied `==`
false), this map is the complete lens shading correction
map; when there is some lens shading correction applied to
the RAW output image (android.sensor.info.lensShadingApplied
`==` true), this map reports the remaining lens shading
correction map that needs to be applied to get shading
corrected images that match the camera device's output for
non-RAW formats.
For a complete shading correction map, the least shaded
section of the image will have a gain factor of 1; all
other sections will have gains above 1.
When android.colorCorrection.mode = TRANSFORM_MATRIX, the map
will take into account the colorCorrection settings.
The shading map is for the entire active pixel array, and is not
affected by the crop region specified in the request. Each shading map
entry is the value of the shading compensation map over a specific
pixel on the sensor. Specifically, with a (N x M) resolution shading
map, and an active pixel array size (W x H), shading map entry
(x,y) ϵ (0 ... N-1, 0 ... M-1) is the value of the shading map at
pixel ( ((W-1)/(N-1)) * x, ((H-1)/(M-1)) * y) for the four color channels.
The map is assumed to be bilinearly interpolated between the sample points.
The channel order is [R, Geven, Godd, B], where Geven is the green
channel for the even rows of a Bayer pattern, and Godd is the odd rows.
The shading map is stored in a fully interleaved format.
The shading map will generally have on the order of 30-40 rows and columns,
and will be smaller than 64x64.
As an example, given a very small map defined as:

android.sensor.info.lensShadingApplied to see if RAW image data has subject

correction. In the case full lens shading correction is applied to RAW
images, the gain factor map reported in this key will contain all 1.0 gains.

artifacts. See android.request.maxNumOutputRaw for a list of RAW image

The lens shading map calculation may depend on exposure and white balance statistics.
When AE and AWB are in AUTO modes
(android.control.aeMode `!=` OFF and android.control.awbMode `!=` OFF), the HAL
may have all the information it need to generate most accurate lens shading map. When
AE or AWB are in manual mode
(android.control.aeMode `==` OFF or android.control.awbMode `==` OFF), the shading map
may be adversely impacted by manual exposure or white balance parameters. To avoid
generating unreliable shading map data, the HAL may choose to lock the shading map with
the latest known good map generated when the AE and AWB are in AUTO modes.

These are sorted in order of increasing `Pin`; it is
required that input values 0.0 and 1.0 are included in the list to
define a complete mapping. For input values between control points,
the camera device must linearly interpolate between the control
points.
Each curve can have an independent number of points, and the number
of points can be less than max (that is, the request doesn't have to
always provide a curve with number of points equivalent to

<description>Tonemapping / contrast / gamma curve to use when android.tonemap.mode

<details>
The tonemapCurve consist of three curves for each of red, green, and blue
channels respectively. The following example uses the red channel as an
example. The same logic applies to green and blue channel.
Each channel's curve is defined by an array of control points:
curveRed =
[ P0(in, out), P1(in, out), P2(in, out), P3(in, out), ..., PN(in, out) ]
2 <= N <= android.tonemap.maxCurvePoints
These are sorted in order of increasing `Pin`; it is always
guaranteed that input values 0.0 and 1.0 are included in the list to
define a complete mapping. For input values between control points,
the camera device must linearly interpolate between the control
points.
Each curve can have an independent number of points, and the number
of points can be less than max (that is, the request doesn't have to
always provide a curve with number of points equivalent to
android.tonemap.maxCurvePoints).
A few examples, and their corresponding graphical mappings; these
only specify the red channel and the precision is limited to 4
digits, for conciseness.

<details>
When switching to an application-defined contrast curve by setting
android.tonemap.mode to CONTRAST_CURVE, the curve is defined
per-channel with a set of `(in, out)` points that specify the
mapping from input high-bit-depth pixel value to the output
low-bit-depth value. Since the actual pixel ranges of both input
and output may change depending on the camera pipeline, the values
are specified by normalized floating-point numbers.
More-complex color mapping operations such as 3D color look-up
tables, selective chroma enhancement, or other non-linear color
transforms will be disabled when android.tonemap.mode is
CONTRAST_CURVE.
When using either FAST or HIGH_QUALITY, the camera device will
emit its own tonemap curve in android.tonemap.curve.
These values are always available, and as close as possible to the
actually used nonlinear/nonglobal transforms.
If a request is sent with CONTRAST_CURVE with the camera device's
provided curve in FAST or HIGH_QUALITY, the image's tonemap will be
roughly the same.</details>

<notes>
This camera device does not have enough capabilities to qualify as a `FULL` device or
better.
Only the stream configurations listed in the `LEGACY` and `LIMITED` tables in the
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createCaptureSession
createCaptureSession} documentation are guaranteed to be supported.
All `LIMITED` devices support the `BACKWARDS_COMPATIBLE` capability, indicating basic
support for color image capture. The only exception is that the device may
alternatively support only the `DEPTH_OUTPUT` capability, if it can only output depth
measurements and not color images.
`LIMITED` devices and above require the use of android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger
to lock exposure metering (and calculate flash power, for cameras with flash) before
capturing a high-quality still image.
A `LIMITED` device that only lists the `BACKWARDS_COMPATIBLE` capability is only
required to support full-automatic operation and post-processing (`OFF` is not
supported for android.control.aeMode, android.control.afMode, or
android.control.awbMode)
Additional capabilities may optionally be supported by a `LIMITED`-level device, and
can be checked for in android.request.availableCapabilities.

FULL
<notes>
This camera device is capable of supporting advanced imaging applications.
The stream configurations listed in the `FULL`, `LEGACY` and `LIMITED` tables in the
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createCaptureSession
createCaptureSession} documentation are guaranteed to be supported.
A `FULL` device will support below capabilities:
* `BURST_CAPTURE` capability (android.request.availableCapabilities contains
`BURST_CAPTURE`)
* Per frame control (android.sync.maxLatency `==` PER_FRAME_CONTROL)
* Manual sensor control (android.request.availableCapabilities contains `MANUAL_SENSOR`)
* Manual post-processing control (android.request.availableCapabilities contains
`MANUAL_POST_PROCESSING`)
* The required exposure time range defined in android.sensor.info.exposureTimeRange
* The required maxFrameDuration defined in android.sensor.info.maxFrameDuration
Note:
Pre-API level 23, FULL devices also supported arbitrary cropping region
(android.scaler.croppingType `== FREEFORM`); this requirement was relaxed in API level
23, and `FULL` devices may only support `CENTERED` cropping.
</notes>
</value>
<value>
LEGACY
<notes>
This camera device is running in backward compatibility mode.
Only the stream configurations listed in the `LEGACY` table in the {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createCaptureSession createCaptureSession}
documentation are supported.
A `LEGACY` device does not support per-frame control, manual sensor control, manual
post-processing, arbitrary cropping regions, and has relaxed performance constraints.
No additional capabilities beyond `BACKWARD_COMPATIBLE` will ever be listed by a
`LEGACY` device in android.request.availableCapabilities.
In addition, the android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger is not functional on `LEGACY`
devices. Instead, every request that includes a JPEG-format output target is treated
as triggering a still capture, internally executing a precapture trigger. This may
fire the flash for flash power metering during precapture, and then fire the flash
for the final capture, if a flash is available on the device and the AE mode is set to
enable the flash.

<description>
Generally classifies the overall set of the camera device functionality.
</description>
<details>
The supported hardware level is a high-level description of the camera device's
capabilities, summarizing several capabilities into one field. Each level adds additional
features to the previous one, and is always a strict superset of the previous level.
The ordering is `LEGACY < LIMITED < FULL < LEVEL_3`.
Starting from `LEVEL_3`, the level enumerations are guaranteed to be in increasing
numerical value as well. To check if a given device is at least at a given hardware level,
the following code snippet can be used:
// Returns true if the device supports the required hardware level, or better.
boolean isHardwareLevelSupported(CameraCharacteristics c, int requiredLevel) {
int deviceLevel = c.get(CameraCharacteristics.INFO_SUPPORTED_HARDWARE_LEVEL);
if (deviceLevel == CameraCharacteristics.INFO_SUPPORTED_HARDWARE_LEVEL_LEGACY) {
return requiredLevel == deviceLevel;
}
// deviceLevel is not LEGACY, can use numerical sort
return requiredLevel <= deviceLevel;
}
At a high level, the levels are:
* `LEGACY` devices operate in a backwards-compatibility mode for older
Android devices, and have very limited capabilities.
* `LIMITED` devices represent the
baseline feature set, and may also include additional capabilities that are
subsets of `FULL`.
* `FULL` devices additionally support per-frame manual control of sensor, flash, lens and
post-processing settings, and image capture at a high rate.
* `LEVEL_3` devices additionally support YUV reprocessing and RAW image capture, along
with additional output stream configurations.
See the individual level enums for full descriptions of the supported capabilities. The
android.request.availableCapabilities entry describes the device's capabilities at a
finer-grain level, if needed. In addition, many controls have their available settings or
ranges defined in individual {@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraCharacteristics} entries.
Some features are not part of any particular hardware level or capability and must be
queried separately. These include:
* Calibrated timestamps (android.sensor.info.timestampSource `==` REALTIME)
* Precision lens control (android.lens.info.focusDistanceCalibration `==` CALIBRATED)
* Face detection (android.statistics.info.availableFaceDetectModes)
* Optical or electrical image stabilization
(android.lens.info.availableOpticalStabilization,
android.control.availableVideoStabilizationModes)

<hal_details>
The camera 3 HAL device can implement one of three possible operational modes; LIMITED,
FULL, and LEVEL_3.
FULL support or better is expected from new higher-end devices. Limited
mode has hardware requirements roughly in line with those for a camera HAL device v1
implementation, and is expected from older or inexpensive devices. Each level is a strict
superset of the previous level, and they share the same essential operational flow.
For full details refer to "S3. Operational Modes" in camera3.h
Camera HAL3+ must not implement LEGACY mode. It is there for backwards compatibility in
the `android.hardware.camera2` user-facing API only on HALv1 devices, and is implemented
by the camera framework code.

<description> Whether black-level compensation is locked
to its current values, or is free to vary.</description>
<details>When set to `true` (ON), the values used for black-level
compensation will not change until the lock is set to
`false` (OFF).
Since changes to certain capture parameters (such as
exposure time) may require resetting of black level
compensation, the camera device must report whether setting
the black level lock was successful in the output result
metadata.
For example, if a sequence of requests is as follows:
* Request 1: Exposure = 10ms, Black level lock = OFF
* Request 2: Exposure = 10ms, Black level lock = ON
* Request 3: Exposure = 10ms, Black level lock = ON
* Request 4: Exposure = 20ms, Black level lock = ON
* Request 5: Exposure = 20ms, Black level lock = ON
* Request 6: Exposure = 20ms, Black level lock = ON
And the exposure change in Request 4 requires the camera
device to reset the black level offsets, then the output
result metadata is expected to be:
* Result 1: Exposure = 10ms, Black level lock = OFF
* Result 2: Exposure = 10ms, Black level lock = ON
* Result 3: Exposure = 10ms, Black level lock = ON
* Result 4: Exposure = 20ms, Black level lock = OFF
* Result 5: Exposure = 20ms, Black level lock = ON
* Result 6: Exposure = 20ms, Black level lock = ON
This indicates to the application that on frame 4, black
levels were reset due to exposure value changes, and pixel
values may not be consistent across captures.
The camera device will maintain the lock to the extent
possible, only overriding the lock to OFF when changes to
other request parameters require a black level recalculation
or reset.
</details>
<hal_details>
If for some reason black level locking is no longer possible
(for example, the analog gain has changed, which forces
black level offsets to be recalculated), then the HAL must
override this request (and it must report 'OFF' when this
does happen) until the next capture for which locking is

</range>
<details>
When a request is submitted to the camera device, there is usually a
delay of several frames before the controls get applied. A camera
device may either choose to account for this delay by implementing a
pipeline and carefully submit well-timed atomic control updates, or
it may start streaming control changes that span over several frame
boundaries.
In the latter case, whenever a request's settings change relative to
the previous submitted request, the full set of changes may take
multiple frame durations to fully take effect. Some settings may
take effect sooner (in less frame durations) than others.
While a set of control changes are being propagated, this value
will be CONVERGING.
Once it is fully known that a set of control changes have been
finished propagating, and the resulting updated control settings
have been read back by the camera device, this value will be set
to a non-negative frame number (corresponding to the request to
which the results have synchronized to).
Older camera device implementations may not have a way to detect
when all camera controls have been applied, and will always set this
value to UNKNOWN.
FULL capability devices will always have this value set to the
frame number of the request corresponding to this result.
_Further details_:
* Whenever a request differs from the last request, any future
results not yet returned may have this value set to CONVERGING (this
could include any in-progress captures not yet returned by the camera
device, for more details see pipeline considerations below).
* Submitting a series of multiple requests that differ from the
previous request (e.g. r1, r2, r3 s.t. r1 != r2 != r3)
moves the new synchronization frame to the last non-repeating
request (using the smallest frame number from the contiguous list of
repeating requests).
* Submitting the same request repeatedly will not change this value
to CONVERGING, if it was already a non-negative value.
* When this value changes to non-negative, that means that all of the
metadata controls from the request have been applied, all of the
metadata controls from the camera device have been read to the
updated values (into the result), and all of the graphics buffers
corresponding to this result are also synchronized to the request.
_Pipeline considerations_:
Submitting a request with updated controls relative to the previously
submitted requests may also invalidate the synchronization state
of all the results corresponding to currently in-flight requests.
In other words, results for this current request and up to
android.request.pipelineMaxDepth prior requests may have their
android.sync.frameNumber change to CONVERGING.
</details>

Using UNKNOWN here is illegal unless android.sync.maxLatency

submitted camera settings have been applied in outgoing frames.
</details>
<hal_details>
For example if maxLatency was 2,
initial request = X (repeating)
request1 = X
request2 = Y
request3 = Y
request4 = Y
where requestN has frameNumber N, and the first of the repeating
initial request's has frameNumber F (and F < 1).
initial result = X' + { android.sync.frameNumber == F }
result1 = X' + { android.sync.frameNumber == F }
result2 = X' + { android.sync.frameNumber == CONVERGING }
result3 = X' + { android.sync.frameNumber == CONVERGING }
result4 = X' + { android.sync.frameNumber == 2 }
where resultN has frameNumber N.
Since `result4` has a `frameNumber == 4` and
`android.sync.frameNumber == 2`, the distance is clearly
`4 - 2 = 2`.
Use `frame_count` from camera3_request_t instead of
android.request.frameCount or
`{@link android.hardware.camera2.CaptureResult#getFrameNumber}`.
LIMITED devices are strongly encouraged to use a non-negative
value. If UNKNOWN is used here then app developers do not have a way
to know when sensor settings have been applied.

The amount of exposure time increase factor applied to the original output

<range> &gt;= 1.0</range>
<details>
This is optional, and will be supported if the camera device supports YUV_REPROCESSING
capability (android.request.availableCapabilities contains YUV_REPROCESSING).
For some YUV reprocessing use cases, the application may choose to filter the original
output frames to effectively reduce the noise to the same level as a frame that was
captured with longer exposure time. To be more specific, assuming the original captured
images were captured with a sensitivity of S and an exposure time of T, the model in
the camera device is that the amount of noise in the image would be approximately what
would be expected if the original capture parameters had been a sensitivity of
S/effectiveExposureFactor and an exposure time of T*effectiveExposureFactor, rather
than S and T respectively. If the captured images were processed by the application
before being sent for reprocessing, then the application may have used image processing
algorithms and/or multi-frame image fusion to reduce the noise in the
application-processed images (input images). By using the effectiveExposureFactor
control, the application can communicate to the camera device the actual noise level
improvement in the application-processed image. With this information, the camera
device can select appropriate noise reduction and edge enhancement parameters to avoid
excessive noise reduction (android.noiseReduction.mode) and insufficient edge
enhancement (android.edge.mode) being applied to the reprocessed frames.
For example, for multi-frame image fusion use case, the application may fuse
multiple output frames together to a final frame for reprocessing. When N image are
fused into 1 image for reprocessing, the exposure time increase factor could be up to
square root of N (based on a simple photon shot noise model). The camera device will
adjust the reprocessing noise reduction and edge enhancement parameters accordingly to
produce the best quality images.
This is relative factor, 1.0 indicates the application hasn't processed the input
buffer in a way that affects its effective exposure time.
This control is only effective for YUV reprocessing capture request. For noise
reduction reprocessing, it is only effective when `android.noiseReduction.mode != OFF`.
Similarly, for edge enhancement reprocessing, it is only effective when
`android.edge.mode != OFF`.

<description>
The maximal camera capture pipeline stall (in unit of frame count) introduced by a
reprocess capture request.
</description>
<units>Number of frames.</units>
<range> &lt;= 4</range>
<details>
The key describes the maximal interference that one reprocess (input) request
can introduce to the camera simultaneous streaming of regular (output) capture
requests, including repeating requests.
When a reprocessing capture request is submitted while a camera output repeating request
(e.g. preview) is being served by the camera device, it may preempt the camera capture
pipeline for at least one frame duration so that the camera device is unable to process
the following capture request in time for the next sensor start of exposure boundary.
When this happens, the application may observe a capture time gap (longer than one frame
duration) between adjacent capture output frames, which usually exhibits as preview
glitch if the repeating request output targets include a preview surface. This key gives
the worst-case number of frame stall introduced by one reprocess request with any kind of
formats/sizes combination.
If this key reports 0, it means a reprocess request doesn't introduce any glitch to the
ongoing camera repeating request outputs, as if this reprocess request is never issued.
This key is supported if the camera device supports PRIVATE or YUV reprocessing (
i.e. android.request.availableCapabilities contains PRIVATE_REPROCESSING or
YUV_REPROCESSING).

If a camera device supports outputting depth range data in the form of a depth point
cloud ({@link android.graphics.ImageFormat#DEPTH_POINT_CLOUD}), this is the maximum

Any given buffer may contain between 0 and maxDepthSamples points, inclusive.

These are output stream configurations for use with

listed as `(format, width, height, input?)` tuples.
Only devices that support depth output for at least
the HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_Y16 dense depth map may include
this entry.
A device that also supports the HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_BLOB
sparse depth point cloud must report a single entry for
the format in this list as `(HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_BLOB,
android.depth.maxDepthSamples, 1, OUTPUT)` in addition to
the entries for HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_Y16.

<details>
This should correspond to the frame duration when only that
stream is active, with all processing (typically in android.*.mode)
set to either OFF or FAST.
When multiple streams are used in a request, the minimum frame
duration will be max(individual stream min durations).
The minimum frame duration of a stream (of a particular format, size)
is the same regardless of whether the stream is input or output.
See android.sensor.frameDuration and
android.scaler.availableStallDurations for more details about
calculating the max frame rate.

A stall duration is how much extra time would get added
to the normal minimum frame duration for a repeating request
that has streams with non-zero stall.
This functions similarly to
android.scaler.availableStallDurations for depth
streams.
All depth output stream formats may have a nonzero stall
duration.

<description>Indicates whether a capture request may target both a

YUV_420_888, JPEG, or RAW) simultaneously.
</description>
<details>
If TRUE, including both depth and color outputs in a single
capture request is not supported. An application must interleave color
and depth requests. If FALSE, a single request can target both types
of output.
Typically, this restriction exists on camera devices that
need to emit a specific pattern or wavelength of light to
measure depth values, which causes the color image to be
corrupted during depth measurement.
