Subject: v4l library - decoding of Pixart JPEG frames
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:14:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1218734045.1696.39.camel@localhost> (raw)
Hello Hans,
I found that the webcams containing a Pixart JPEG chip (PAC 73xx)
generate strange JPEG frames: they contains 'ff ff ff xx' markers every
1024 or 512 bytes and there are eight unused bits at the end of each
JPEG block (I saw also a 90 degrees rotation with the PAC 7302).
So, I added a new pixel format V4L2_PIX_FMT_PJPG for this encoding. It
is generated by the pac7311 subdriver of gspca. May you add the code for
decoding this format in the V4L library?
I could have done a patch by myself, but the tiny jpeg decoder is rather
complex, and I could not find the right place to do the job. If it may
help, I wrote a simple image viewer (http://moinejf.free.fr/siv.c) which
takes a raw webcam image and displays it via gtk+. It contains the
Pixart JPEG decoder and the two differences from normal JPEG are
identified by 'pac7311'.
Cheers.
