V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION
|
|
|
|
Add documentation for the V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION camera
|
|
control. The newly added read-only control reports the camera device
|
|
orientation relative to the usage orientation of the system the camera
|
|
is installed on.

|
|
+ This read-only control describes the camera orientation by reporting its
|
|
+ mounting position on the device where the camera is installed. The control
|
|
+ value is constant and not modifiable by software. This control is
|
|
+ particularly meaningful for devices which have a well defined orientation,
|
|
+ such as phones, laptops and portable devices since the control is expressed
|
|
+ as a position relative to the device's intended usage orientation. For
|
|
+ example, a camera installed on the user-facing side of a phone, a tablet or
|
|
+ a laptop device is said to be have ``V4L2_CAMERA_ORIENTATION_FRONT``
|
|
+ orientation, while a camera installed on the opposite side of the front one
|
|
+ is said to be have ``V4L2_CAMERA_ORIENTATION_BACK`` orientation. Camera
|
|
+ sensors not directly attached to the device, or attached in a way that
|
|
+ allows them to move freely, such as webcams and digital cameras, are said to
|
|
+ have the ``V4L2_CAMERA_ORIENTATION_EXTERNAL`` orientation.

This control may be changed to a menu control in the future, if more
|
|
options are required.
