Description

The interface allows access to some common digital image capture parameters.

Note

The GstPhotography interface is unstable API and may change in future. One can define GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API to acknowledge and avoid this warning.

GstPhotography

typedef struct _GstPhotography GstPhotography;

Opaque GstPhotography data structure.

enum GstPhotographyNoiseReduction

typedef enum

  GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_NOISE_REDUCTION_EXTRA = (1 << 4)
} GstPhotographyNoiseReduction;

Noise Reduction features of a photography capture or filter element.

GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_NOISE_REDUCTION_BAYER

 Adaptive noise reduction on Bayer format

GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_NOISE_REDUCTION_YCC

 reduces the noise on Y and 2-chroma images.

GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_NOISE_REDUCTION_TEMPORAL

 Multi-frame adaptive NR, provided for the video mode

GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_NOISE_REDUCTION_FIXED

GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_NOISE_REDUCTION_EXTRA

 Extra Noise Reduction. In the case of high-ISO capturing, some noise remains after YCC NR. XNR reduces this remaining noise.
