Detailed Description

Data Structure Documentation

◆ VCCamInit

struct VCCamInit

This structure keeps camera settings which are only configurable during Initialization.

◆ VCCamDesc

struct VCCamDesc

This structure keeps Camera descripting information. Never change anything in here, also not in substructures!

U8 *	physBase	Initial Address for driver memory access
U32	physBaseBytes	Total Bytes Available through memory driver
VCGpioCfg	gpio	For GPIO access
VCCamInit	init	Initialization Values

◆ VCCamCfg

struct VCCamCfg

This structure keeps settings for a camera configuration.

Function Documentation

◆ vc_cam_deinit()

I32 vc_cam_deinit ( VCCamCfg * cam )

This function deinitializes the camera wich was formerly initialized by the function vc_cam_init() or vc_cam_init_raw().

See also: vc_cam_init(), vc_cam_init_raw().

◆ vc_cam_init_raw()

I32 vc_cam_init_raw	(	VCCamCfg *	camNew,
		VCCamInit *	camInit
	)

This function initializes the camera.

After calling this function, one can add capture configurations by calling the function vc_cam_init(). Deinitialization is necessary before leaving your program by using the function vc_cam_deinit().

Note: In most cases an alternative is the function named vc_cam_init() which bundles the call of several initialization functions.

rc =  vc_cam_init_raw(&cam, &camInit);
if(rc<0){err=-1+10*rc; goto endfunc;}
 
rc =  vc_capt_init_raw(&cpt, &cam, &trgInit);
if(rc<0){err=-2+10*rc; goto endfunc;}
 
#if INIT_ALL_SENSORS
    for(j= 0; j< cpt.d.maxSenCnt; j++)
    {
        if(1==cpt.d.maxSenCnt) { senInit.sync = SENSYNC_STANDALONE; }
        else                   { senInit.sync = SENSYNC_SYNC;       }
 
        rc =  vc_capt_init_sen_add(&cpt, j, &senInit, &trgInit);
        if(rc<0){err=-3+10*rc; goto endfunc;}
    }
#else  //Single Sensor
    senInit.sync = SENSYNC_STANDALONE;
 
    rc =  vc_capt_init_sen_add(&cpt, 0, &senInit, &trgInit);
    if(rc<0){err=-3+10*rc; goto endfunc;}
#endif

You can provide NULL as value for camInit. Then the default values will be used. If you want to add your own settings, please be sure to first pass default values to them, e.g. for camInit the contents of the definition VCCamInit_Default, and second apply your settings.

Content of camNew will be overwritten, so be sure to set values not before the initialisation has been done (e.g. by this function).

Parameters

camNew	New Camera Struct, will be overwritten.
camInit	Set to NULL, or provide it with `VCCamInit_Default` applied and changed by your needs.

See also: vc_cam_init(), vc_cam_deinit().

◆ vc_cam_init()

I32 vc_cam_init	(	VCCamCfg *	camNew,
		VCCaptCfg *	cptNew,
		VCCamInit *	camInit,
		VCTrgInit *	trgInit,
		VCSenInit *	senInit
	)

This function initializes the standard camera configuration which can be used for image acquisitions: This function calls vc_capt_init(). Deinitialization is necessary before leaving your program by using the function vc_capt_deinit() as well as vc_cam_deinit().

You can provide NULL as value for camInit, trgInit and senInit. Then the default values will be used. If you want to add your own settings, please be sure to first pass default values to them, e.g. for senInit the contents of the definition VCSenInit_Default, and second apply your settings.

VCCamInit/VCTrgInit/VCSenInit   init = VCCamInit_Default/VCTrgInit_Default/VCSenInit_Default;
 
init.toBeModified = newValue;
 
rc =  vc_cam_init([...], &init, [...]);

Content of camNew and @cptNew will be overwritten, so be sure to set values not before their initialisation has been done (e.g. by this function).

This function must not be called more than once before proper deinitialisation.
