## Detailed Description

A mean-based auto-exposure algorithm.

This algorithm calculates an exposure time and an analogue gain so that the average value of the green channel of the brightest 2% of pixels approaches 0.5. The AWB gains are not used here, and all cells in the grid have the same weight, like an average-metering case. In this metering mode, the camera uses light information from the entire scene and creates an average for the final exposure setting, giving no weighting to any particular portion of the metered area.

## Member Function Documentation

## configure()

int libcamera::ipa::ipu3::algorithms::Agc::configure | ( | IPAContext & | context,
|  | const IPAConfigInfo & | configInfo )

override

Configure the AGC given a configInfo.

Parameters

  [in] | context | The shared IPA context
  [in] | configInfo | The IPA configuration data

Returns
  0

## init()

int libcamera::ipa::ipu3::algorithms::Agc::init | ( | IPAContext & | context,
|  | const YamlObject & | tuningData )

override

Initialise the AGC algorithm from tuning files.

Parameters

  [in] | context | The shared IPA context
  [in] | tuningData | The YamlObject containing Agc tuning data

This function calls the base class' tuningData parsers to discover which control values are supported.

Returns
  0 on success or errors from the base class

## process()

void libcamera::ipa::ipu3::algorithms::Agc::process | ( | IPAContext & | context,
|  | const uint32_t | frame,
|  | IPAFrameContext & | frameContext,
|  | const ipu3_uapi_stats_3a * | stats,
|  | ControlList & | metadata )

override

Process IPU3 statistics, and run AGC operations.

Parameters

  [in] | context | The shared IPA context
  [in] | frame | The current frame sequence number
  [in] | frameContext | The current frame context
  [in] | stats | The IPU3 statistics and ISP results
  [out] | metadata | Metadata for the frame, to be filled by the algorithm

Identify the current image brightness, and use that to estimate the optimal new exposure and gain for the scene.
