279 | <title>Cropping and scaling</title> | ||
280 | |||
281 | <para>Many sub-devices support cropping frames on their input or output | ||
282 | pads (or possible even on both). Cropping is used to select the area of | ||
283 | interest in an image, typically on a video sensor or video decoder. It can | ||
284 | also be used as part of digital zoom implementations to select the area of | ||
285 | the image that will be scaled up.</para> | ||
286 | |||
287 | <para>Crop settings are defined by a crop rectangle and represented in a | ||
288 | &v4l2-rect; by the coordinates of the top left corner and the rectangle | ||
289 | size. Both the coordinates and sizes are expressed in pixels.</para> | ||
290 | |||
291 | <para>The crop rectangle is retrieved and set using the | ||
292 | &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-CROP; and &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-S-CROP; ioctls. Like for pad | ||
293 | formats, drivers store try and active crop rectangles. The format | ||
294 | negotiation mechanism applies to crop settings as well.</para> | ||
295 | |||
296 | <para>On input pads, cropping is applied relatively to the current pad | ||
297 | format. The pad format represents the image size as received by the | ||
298 | sub-device from the previous block in the pipeline, and the crop rectangle | ||
299 | represents the sub-image that will be transmitted further inside the | ||
300 | sub-device for processing. The crop rectangle be entirely containted | ||
301 | inside the input image size.</para> | ||
302 | |||
303 | <para>Input crop rectangle are reset to their default value when the input | ||
304 | image format is modified. Drivers should use the input image size as the | ||
305 | crop rectangle default value, but hardware requirements may prevent this. | ||
306 | </para> | ||
307 | |||
308 | <para>Cropping behaviour on output pads is not defined.</para> | ||

66 | <para>To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the | ||
67 | <structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-crop; to the | ||
68 | desired pad number as reported by the media API and the | ||
69 | <structfield>which</structfield> field to | ||
70 | <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. They then call the | ||
71 | <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this | ||
72 | structure. The driver fills the members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> | ||
73 | field or returns &EINVAL; if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping | ||
74 | is not supported on the given pad.</para> | ||
75 | |||
76 | <para>To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the | ||
77 | <structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields | ||
78 | and all members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> field. They then call | ||
79 | the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this | ||
80 | structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it | ||
81 | based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return | ||
82 | the &v4l2-subdev-crop; contains the current format as would be returned | ||
83 | by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> call.</para> | ||
84 | |||
85 | <para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the | ||
86 | <structfield>which</structfield> to | ||
87 | <constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' crop | ||
88 | rectangles are not applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled | ||
89 | exactly as active crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle. | ||
90 | Two applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with | ||
91 | each other.</para> | ||
92 | |||
93 | <para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop | ||
94 | rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify | ||
95 | the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format | ||
96 | should be as close as possible to the original request.</para> | ||
