Extending Libcamera to Provide a Fully Open Camera SoftISP Stack

Learn about the development of a generic camera software ISP solution in this 29-minute technical talk from Linaro. Explore how engineers from libcamera, Linaro, Red Hat and the community collaborated to create a V4L2-compatible solution that processes raw pixel data for use in Linux applications like Cheese, Hangout, and Zoom. Discover the benefits of implementing debayering and 3A processing in software, enabling support for SoCs without upstream HardISP capabilities while providing a common cross-architecture approach. See how parallel development on x86 and Arm platforms resulted in shared code, unified bug fixes, and more universal solutions across different SoC implementations.
