V4L2 includes several -such formats, and this section is intended to be an unambiguous -specification of the standard image data formats in V4L2.</para> - - <para>V4L2 drivers are not limited to these formats, however. -Driver-specific formats are possible. In that case the application may -depend on a codec to convert images to one of the standard formats -when needed. But the data can still be stored and retrieved in the -proprietary format. For example, a device may support a proprietary -compressed format. Applications can still capture and save the data in -the compressed format, saving much disk space, and later use a codec -to convert the images to the X Windows screen format when the video is -to be displayed.</para> - - <para>Even so, ultimately, some standard formats are needed, so -the V4L2 specification would not be complete without well-defined -standard formats.</para> - - <para>The V4L2 standard formats are mainly uncompressed formats. The -pixels are always arranged in memory from left to right, and from top -to bottom. The first byte of data in the image buffer is always for -the leftmost pixel of the topmost row. Following that is the pixel -immediately to its right, and so on until the end of the top row of -pixels. Following the rightmost pixel of the row there may be zero or -more bytes of padding to guarantee that each row of pixel data has a -certain alignment. Following the pad bytes, if any, is data for the -leftmost pixel of the second row from the top, and so on. The last row -has just as many pad bytes after it as the other rows.</para> - - <para>In V4L2 each format has an identifier which looks like -<constant>PIX_FMT_XXX</constant>, defined in the <link -linkend="videodev">videodev.h</link> header file. These identifiers -represent <link linkend="v4l2-fourcc">four character (FourCC) codes</link> -which are also listed below, however they are not the same as those -used in the Windows world.</para> - - <para>For some formats, data is stored in separate, discontiguous -memory buffers. Those formats are identified by a separate set of FourCC codes -and are referred to as "multi-planar formats". For example, a YUV422 frame is -normally stored in one memory buffer, but it can also be placed in two or three -separate buffers, with Y component in one buffer and CbCr components in another -in the 2-planar version or with each component in its own buffer in the -3-planar case. Those sub-buffers are referred to as "planes".</para> - </section> - - <section id="colorspaces"> - <title>Colorspaces</title> - - <para>[intro]</para> - - <!-- See proposal by Billy Biggs, video4linux-list@redhat.com -on 11 Oct 2002, subject: "Re: [V4L] Re: v4l2 api", and -http://vektor.theorem.ca/graphics/ycbcr/ and -http://www.poynton.com/notes/colour_and_gamma/ColorFAQ.html --> - - <para> - <variablelist> - <varlistentry> - <term>Gamma Correction</term> - <listitem> - <para>[to do]</para> - <para>E'<subscript>R</subscript> = f(R)</para> - <para>E'<subscript>G</subscript> = f(G)</para> - <para>E'<subscript>B</subscript> = f(B)</para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - <varlistentry> - <term>Construction of luminance and color-difference -signals</term> - <listitem> - <para>[to do]</para> - <para>E'<subscript>Y</subscript> = -Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> E'<subscript>R</subscript> -+ Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> E'<subscript>G</subscript> -+ Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> - <para>(E'<subscript>R</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = E'<subscript>R</subscript> -- Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> E'<subscript>R</subscript> -- Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> E'<subscript>G</subscript> -- Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> - <para>(E'<subscript>B</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = E'<subscript>B</subscript> -- Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> E'<subscript>R</subscript> -- Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> E'<subscript>G</subscript> -- Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - <varlistentry> - <term>Re-normalized color-difference signals</term> - <listitem> - <para>The color-difference signals are scaled back to unity -range [-0.5;+0.5]:</para> - <para>K<subscript>B</subscript> = 0.5 / (1 - Coeff<subscript>B</subscript>)</para> - <para>K<subscript>R</subscript> = 0.5 / (1 - Coeff<subscript>R</subscript>)</para> - <para>P<subscript>B</subscript> = -K<subscript>B</subscript> (E'<subscript>B</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = - 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>R</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>B</subscript>) E'<subscript>R</subscript> -+ 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>B</subscript>) E'<subscript>G</subscript> -+ 0.5 E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> - <para>P<subscript>R</subscript> = -K<subscript>R</subscript> (E'<subscript>R</subscript> - E'<subscript>Y</subscript>) = - 0.5 E'<subscript>R</subscript> -+ 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>G</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>R</subscript>) E'<subscript>G</subscript> -+ 0.5 (Coeff<subscript>B</subscript> / Coeff<subscript>R</subscript>) E'<subscript>B</subscript></para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - <varlistentry> - <term>Quantization</term> - <listitem> - <para>[to do]</para> - <para>Y' = (Lum.

It separates the brightness information (Y) from the color -information (U and V or Cb and Cr). The color information consists of -red and blue <emphasis>color difference</emphasis> signals, this way -the green component can be reconstructed by subtracting from the -brightness component. See <xref linkend="colorspaces" /> for conversion -examples. YUV was chosen because early television would only transmit -brightness information. To add color in a way compatible with existing -receivers a new signal carrier was added to transmit the color -difference signals. Secondary in the YUV format the U and V components -usually have lower resolution than the Y component. This is an analog -video compression technique taking advantage of a property of the -human visual system, being more sensitive to brightness -information.</para> - - &sub-packed-yuv; - &sub-grey; - &sub-y10; - &sub-y12; - &sub-y10b; - &sub-y16; - &sub-yuyv; - &sub-uyvy; - &sub-yvyu; - &sub-vyuy; - &sub-y41p; - &sub-yuv420; - &sub-yuv420m; - &sub-yuv410; - &sub-yuv422p; - &sub-yuv411p; - &sub-nv12; - &sub-nv12m; - &sub-nv12mt; - &sub-nv16; - &sub-m420; - </section> - - <section> - <title>Compressed Formats</title> - - <table pgwide="1" frame="none" id="compressed-formats"> - <title>Compressed Image Formats</title> - <tgroup cols="3" align="left"> - &cs-def; - <thead> - <row> - <entry>Identifier</entry> - <entry>Code</entry> - <entry>Details</entry> - </row> - </thead> - <tbody valign="top"> - <row id="V4L2-PIX-FMT-JPEG"> - <entry><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_JPEG</constant></entry> - <entry>'JPEG'</entry> - <entry>TBD.
