[omap3-isp-live] Autofocus buffer interpretation of H3A engine

[omap3-isp-live] Autofocus buffer interpretation of H3A engine

[Florian Neuhaus]

Hi Laurent

I am adapting your current omap3-isp-live application to fit our needs (http://git.ideasonboard.org/omap3-isp-live.git/commit/619164a994c8d878249d6c1b8b16c27074a04209).
For this I need to implement an autofocus algorithm to control an attached actuator. 
Let me summarize what components I use:

- beagleboard-xm
- mt9p031 on leopardimaging li-5m03
- own developed voice-coil-motor (vcm) driven by current regulator ad5821
- kernel 3.5 out of the linux-omap tree

To generate a control signal for my vcm, I need to interpret the values generated by 
the AF engine of the omap3isp, h3a module. I see, that you have already implemented 
a working auto-exposure functionality with the AEWB module - so I have done the same 
with the AF module. But now I have problems to interpret the generated values in omap3_isp_af_process. Do you know how the paxel-buffer is structured? 
I see that the received buffer has the size of

buf_size = af->paxel.h_cnt * af->paxel.v_cnt * OMAP3ISP_AF_PAXEL_SIZE;

where  OMAP3ISP_AF_PAXEL_SIZE is 48 bytes, but what is in the 48 bytes?

Have you made some progress in implementing an autofocus algorithm?

Thank you for your help and greetings,
Florian

The AD5821 is similar to the AD5820, for which I have a driver that I need to 
clean up and post. Would you be interested in that ?

Even though that buffer structure is pretty simple, I'm afraid I can't provide 
that information as it's covered by an NDA.

Note that a description of the buffer's contents won't help you much, as you 
wouldn't know how to compute the IIR filters coefficients.

There's two way to move forward here. We could ask TI to release the required 
information to produce an open-source AF implementation, or we could try to 
figure it out ourselves. Looking at the FCam project, I've found

http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/fcam/fcam-dev/tags/1.1.0/src/N900/V4L2Sensor.cpp

Does that help figuring out what the buffer contains ?

I haven't started, and it's currently not on my to-do list I'm afraid.

Yes, you can send me the driver. Just as a note:
I (probably) found an error in the current ad5398 and ad5821 driver 
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/regulator/ad5398.c
It seems that the enable and disable functions are switched
(at least for the ad5821). Also it's not possible to set the maximum current.
I've done a patch but didn't have the time to submit it. Is this the right place
for it?

I have written the TI-support and here's the answer:
START QUOTE
" After checking it seems that we unfortunately do not make the DM37x H3A documention available. 
Implementing Autofocus is quite complexe and the documentation is likely not going to provide enough help. 
A lot of experience is required to handle the mecanics and control loop aspect for the Autofocus.

We have partners that do have experience with the H3A module and that might be able to help. 
For example MMS that mentionned is the below document:
     http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/swpt052/swpt052.pdf
Also Leopard Imaging has experience on the H3A:
    https://www.leopardimaging.com/Services.html
END QUOTE

It's sad that they can't provide any further information, because we are not that far
to get this stuff working...

That helps a lot! Thank you. I found also a little info here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/davinci-linux-open-source@linux.davincidsp.com/msg18438.html

> I haven't started, and it's currently not on my to-do list I'm afraid.
That's too bad, as your help is always appreciated. Have you already seen my patch for the
rotation in your omap3-isp-live program? I have seen also another little issue, if you are
interested (snapshot_init should be after aewb as the output format changes during
snapshot-init).

I am now off for 3 weeks (annual refresher course in the Swiss armed forces).

Regards,
Florian

[PATCH] ad5820: Voice coil motor controller driver

The AD5820 is a voice coil motor controller typically used to control
lens position in digital cameras.

Hi Florian,

This is the ad5820 driver I've told you about. The code is compile-tested only
as I haven't had time to try it on an N900 (the only device I own that
includes an ad5820).

It should be quite easy to adapt the driver to support both the ad5820 and the
ad5821. Would you have time to give it a try ?

I think Tuukka's e-mail is wrong here. tuukkat76@gmail.com? Cc Tuukka.

The patch itself looks fine, but I think the bigger question is: what's the
interface for such low-level lens control chips?

Based on what I've seen in the past, the vast majority of these are very
simple but a yet diverse set of devices in terms of how they are controlled.
So until we've got more of them the private controls are probably best we
can do.

I've just sent it to you and CC'ed the list.

I think you're right.

As the ad5398 driver implements the regulator driver API you should send the 
patch to the appropriate mailing lists.

Try pushing a bit more, sometimes it helps. Ask what it would take to get 
access to the documentation, possibly as a partner.

If you can figure out the format and the configuration parameters from the 
above sources, I would greatly appreciate if you could write a bit of 
documentation and send a patch for Documentation/video4linux/omap3isp.txt. I 
unfortunately can't do it myself without TI's approval as I've had access to 
the documentation.

Spare time is unfortunately limited :-)

It's still in my mailbox, I'll try to process it in the near future.

Sure, please send it.
