For our August meetup, we are happy to welcome Balwinder Kaur and Joe Rickson from Aptina Imaging who offered to take us on a tour through the Android's camera stack. This is a great opportunity to get a look at Android's inner-guts: from the developer-exposed APIs, to the services in the media framework, to the user-space hardware abstraction layer, to the kernel and the kernel drivers, all the way to the hardware itself. If you are someone who cares about how stuff works, you don't want to miss this one.
Android 4.0 was released with support for many advanced camera features like video snapshot, face detection, and video stabilization. This presentation provides a technical deep dive into the Android camera stack internals. The Camera.Parameters pipe-line enables different image sensors to expose its hardware specific functionalities to the application layer. The system level camera service interacts with the media framework, the display subsystem, and the camera hardware via an implementation of the camera hardware abstraction layer (HAL). The low level camera interface discussion will include a general overview of camera hardware, the hardware interfaces used by the camera (control and data), and the driver interface to the camera. The intended audience for this conference session is engineers who want to learn more about the Android camera internals and driver architecture. Cameras in mobile devices have gone mainstream and this talk should facilitate engineers wanting to integrate, improve or innovate using the camera subsystem.
As before, venue, food, drinks, and giveaways will be provided by our sponsors.
