Implementing ISP algorithms in libcamera

libcamera is the open-source camera framework for Linux systems. While its goals, architecture and application API have been presented in multiple conferences over the last years, little has been said of how to add support for a new platform. Following presentations at the Embedded Recipes 2022 and EOSS 2023 that focussed on the internal plumbing, this talk will explain for the first time how to handle the Image Signal Processor (ISP) algorithms.

The presentation does not require advanced technical knowledge of ISPs, but general awareness of libcamera is recommended.
