Image Cropping, Insertion and Scaling
|
||
*************************************
|
||
|
||
Some video capture devices can sample a subsection of the picture and
|
||
shrink or enlarge it to an image of arbitrary size. We call these
|
||
abilities cropping and scaling. Some video output devices can scale an
|
||
image up or down and insert it at an arbitrary scan line and horizontal
|
||
offset into a video signal.
|
||
|
||
Applications can use the following API to select an area in the video
|
||
signal, query the default area and the hardware limits.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
Despite their name, the :ref:`VIDIOC_CROPCAP <VIDIOC_CROPCAP>`,
|
||
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CROP
|
||
<VIDIOC_G_CROP>` ioctls apply to input as well as output devices.
|
||
|
||
Scaling requires a source and a target. On a video capture or overlay
|
||
device the source is the video signal, and the cropping ioctls determine
|
||
the area actually sampled. The target are images read by the application
|
||
or overlaid onto the graphics screen. Their size (and position for an
|
||
overlay) is negotiated with the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>`
|
||
and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctls.
|
||
|
||
On a video output device the source are the images passed in by the
|
||
application, and their size is again negotiated with the
|
||
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>`
|
||
ioctls, or may be encoded in a compressed video stream. The target is
|
||
the video signal, and the cropping ioctls determine the area where the
|
||
images are inserted.
|
||
|
||
Source and target rectangles are defined even if the device does not
|
||
support scaling or the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` and
|
||
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` ioctls. Their size (and position
|
||
where applicable) will be fixed in this case.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
All capture and output devices must support the
|
||
:ref:`VIDIOC_CROPCAP <VIDIOC_CROPCAP>` ioctl such that applications
|
||
can determine if scaling takes place.

Image Cropping, Insertion and Scaling
|
||
|
||
The cropping, insertion and scaling process
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
For capture devices the coordinates of the top left corner, width and
|
||
height of the area which can be sampled is given by the ``bounds``
|
||
substructure of the struct :c:type:`v4l2_cropcap` returned
|
||
by the :ref:`VIDIOC_CROPCAP <VIDIOC_CROPCAP>` ioctl. To support a wide
|
||
range of hardware this specification does not define an origin or units.
|
||
However by convention drivers should horizontally count unscaled samples
|
||
relative to 0H (the leading edge of the horizontal sync pulse, see
|
||
:ref:`vbi-hsync`). Vertically ITU-R line numbers of the first field
|
||
(see ITU R-525 line numbering for :ref:`525 lines <vbi-525>` and for
|
||
:ref:`625 lines <vbi-625>`), multiplied by two if the driver
|
||
can capture both fields.
|
||
|
||
The top left corner, width and height of the source rectangle, that is
|
||
the area actually sampled, is given by struct
|
||
:c:type:`v4l2_crop` using the same coordinate system as
|
||
struct :c:type:`v4l2_cropcap`. Applications can use the
|
||
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>` and :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CROP <VIDIOC_G_CROP>`
|
||
ioctls to get and set this rectangle. It must lie completely within the
|
||
capture boundaries and the driver may further adjust the requested size
|
||
and/or position according to hardware limitations.
|
||
|
||
Each capture device has a default source rectangle, given by the
|
||
``defrect`` substructure of struct
|
||
:c:type:`v4l2_cropcap`. The center of this rectangle
|
||
shall align with the center of the active picture area of the video
|
||
signal, and cover what the driver writer considers the complete picture.
|
||
Drivers shall reset the source rectangle to the default when the driver
|
||
is first loaded, but not later.
|
||
|
||
For output devices these structures and ioctls are used accordingly,
|
||
defining the *target* rectangle where the images will be inserted into
|
||
the video signal.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Scaling Adjustments
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
Video hardware can have various cropping, insertion and scaling
|
||
limitations. It may only scale up or down, support only discrete scaling
|
||
factors, or have different scaling abilities in horizontal and vertical
|
||
direction. Also it may not support scaling at all. At the same time the
|
||
struct :c:type:`v4l2_crop` rectangle may have to be aligned,
|
||
and both the source and target rectangles may have arbitrary upper and
|
||
lower size limits. In particular the maximum ``width`` and ``height`` in
|
||
struct :c:type:`v4l2_crop` may be smaller than the struct
|
||
:c:type:`v4l2_cropcap`. ``bounds`` area. Therefore, as
|
||
usual, drivers are expected to adjust the requested parameters and
|
||
return the actual values selected.
|
||
|
||
Applications can change the source or the target rectangle first, as
|
||
they may prefer a particular image size or a certain area in the video
|
||
signal. If the driver has to adjust both to satisfy hardware
|
||
limitations, the last requested rectangle shall take priority, and the
|
||
driver should preferably adjust the opposite one. The
|
||
:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl however shall not change
|
||
the driver state and therefore only adjust the requested rectangle.
|
||
|
||
Suppose scaling on a video capture device is restricted to a factor 1:1
|
||
or 2:1 in either direction and the target image size must be a multiple
|
||
of 16 × 16 pixels. The source cropping rectangle is set to defaults,
|
||
which are also the upper limit in this example, of 640 × 400 pixels at
|
||
offset 0, 0. An application requests an image size of 300 × 225 pixels,
|
||
assuming video will be scaled down from the "full picture" accordingly.
|
||
The driver sets the image size to the closest possible values 304 × 224,
|
||
then chooses the cropping rectangle closest to the requested size, that
|
||
is 608 × 224 (224 × 2:1 would exceed the limit 400). The offset 0, 0 is
|
||
still valid, thus unmodified. Given the default cropping rectangle
|
||
reported by :ref:`VIDIOC_CROPCAP <VIDIOC_CROPCAP>` the application can
|
||
easily propose another offset to center the cropping rectangle.
|
||
|
||
Now the application may insist on covering an area using a picture
|
||
aspect ratio closer to the original request, so it asks for a cropping
|
||
rectangle of 608 × 456 pixels. The present scaling factors limit
|
||
cropping to 640 × 384, so the driver returns the cropping size 608 × 384
|
||
and adjusts the image size to closest possible 304 × 192.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Examples
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
Source and target rectangles shall remain unchanged across closing and
|
||
reopening a device, such that piping data into or out of a device will
|
||
work without special preparations. More advanced applications should
|
||
ensure the parameters are suitable before starting I/O.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
On the next two examples, a video capture device is assumed;
|
||
change ``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE`` for other types of device.
|
||
|
||
