Supported colorspaces¶
A color space is a model describing the way to represent color as an ordered list of numbers. For example you can represent the color of each pixel of your screen as a list of three elements R, G and B. Which are respectively the value of Red, Green, and Blue usually stored in an byte (range from 0 to 255).
Setting the color space allows you to set the image buffer encoding in
AL::ALImage.
Color space parameter for 2D camera can have the following values:
| Parameter ID Name | ID Value | Number of layers | Number of channels | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AL::kYuvColorSpace | 0 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the Y (luma component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::kyUvColorSpace | 1 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the U (Chrominance component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::kyuVColorSpace | 2 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the V (Chrominance component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::kRgbColorSpace | 3 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the R (Red component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::krGbColorSpace | 4 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the G (Green component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::krgBColorSpace | 5 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the B (Blue component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::kHsyColorSpace | 6 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the H (Hue component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::khSyColorSpace | 7 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the S (Saturation component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::khsYColorSpace | 8 | 1 | 1 | Buffer only contains the Y (Brightness component) equivalent to one unsigned char |
| AL::kYUV422ColorSpace | 9 | 2 | 2 | Native format, 0xY’Y’VVYYUU equivalent to four unsigned char for two pixels. With Y luma for pixel n, Y’ luma for pixel n+1, and U and V are the average chrominance value of both pixels. |
| AL::kYUVColorSpace | 10 | 3 | 3 | Buffer contains triplet on the format 0xVVUUYY, equivalent to three unsigned char |
| AL::kRGBColorSpace | 11 | 3 | 3 | Buffer contains triplet on the format 0xBBGGRR, equivalent to three unsigned char |
| AL::kHSYColorSpace | 12 | 3 | 3 | Buffer contains triplet on the format 0xYYSSHH, equivalent to three unsigned char |
| AL::kBGRColorSpace | 13 | 3 | 3 | Buffer contains triplet on the format 0xRRGGBB, equivalent to three unsigned char |
| AL::kYYCbCrColorSpace | 14 | 2 | 2 | TIFF format, four unsigned characters for two pixels. |
| AL::kH2RGBColorSpace | 15 | 3 | 3 | H from “HSY to RGB” in fake colors. |
| AL::kHSMixedColorSpace | 16 | 3 | 3 | HS and (H+S)/2. |
Supported Format¶
Format parameter can have the following values:
| Resolution ID Name |
|
FrameRate Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL::k720px2 | 13 | 10 or 15 | Image of 2560x720px |
| AL::kQ720px2 | 14 | 10 or 15 | Image of 1280x360px |
| AL::kQQ720px2 | 15 | 10 or 15 | Image of 640x180px |
| AL::kQQQ720px2 | 16 | 10 or 15 | Image of 320x90px |
| AL::kQQQQ720px2 | 17 | 10 or 15 | Image of 160x45px |
Note
The camera OV4689 can only run internally in 720px2 or Q720px2, otherwise scale down is performed (without binning or linear interpolation).
