@fell @zaunz @postmarketOS And can it focus on infinity? Yesterday people were telling me camera can't physically focus far.

If it can focus on distant object, someone really needs to create patch for Megapixels.

@dos If you want to make sure, just point camera at the clock :-). gstreamer should get timing information at the input, so I'd expect dropped frames (not wrong speed) if things go wrong.

@dos I am not brave enough to debug gstreamer + openGL problems in the same process. You are either lucky or WIZARD :-).

@dos Camera is 23.5 FPS, IIRC. Do you have it under version control somewhere? This is a bit of achievement :-).

@fell @zaunz @postmarketOS Which camera is that? I was told mainline on 6T only supports macro camera and selfie...?

@dos But you only hexdumped first few pixels, right?

Is that buffer uncached or something?

I pushed current code to https://gitlab.com/tui/debayer-gpu .

Yes, with memcpy(), I'm getting same results as before. If I get rid of the memcpy(), and attempt to fwrite() the buffer directly, things actually slow down.

I can't easily connect gstreamer to that, I'm going through ramdisk for now. I'm using time ./ocam.py debayer for testing -- https://gitlab.com/tui/tui/-/blob/master/ucam/ocam.py?ref_type=heads

@dos Thanks for a patch. And yes, it makes the loop faster.. if you don't actually use the data. When used for loading/saving 720 images from the ramdisk, speed went from ~16 sec to ~21 sec.

OnePlus 6 ma tri fotaky, 2 vzadu a jeden selfie. #oneplus6 #linuxphone #oneplus6t Ty dva vzadu maji dost podobny parametry, jeden z nich na mainlinu funguje, druhy bohuzel ne, selfie funguje taky; tak proc neni podpora v Megapixels a internet plny fotek? No, protoze ten co funguje je makro kamerka ktera neumi fotit na dalku. Aha. Zahada vyresena.

OnePlus 6 has three cameras – two on the back and one selfie camera.
#oneplus6 #linuxphone #oneplus6t
The two rear cameras have quite similar specs. One of them works on mainline, the other unfortunately doesn't. The selfie camera works too.
So why isn't there support in Megapixels and why isn't the internet full of photos?
Well, because the one that works is the macro camera, which can't focus at a distance.
Ah. Mystery solved.

Opravuju ADSL modem... ten, co to schytal pri bource. Zatim jsem na opravu pouzil kondenzator z GME.cz (jeste jednou diky za trpelivost!), a papirovou karticku. Nechtelo se mi pajet, takze kondenzator je nasazen na nozicky toho vybuchleho. A ja bych mel brat sazky: Bude to fungovat?

@MOOMANiBE Ok, let's say that was an "interesting" hardware. And they probably had 'unlimited' ROM, so... yep, nice trick, but not even too crazy.

@mkyral Na radaru vidim vodu na zapadni hranici a vic vody v nemecku. Horko bych si v tuto chvili neodvazil predpovidat. Teplomer zatim ukazuje nejakych 23C, coz odpovida datum z intenetu (21C).

@dos Thanks. That really looks like black magic on the first look. On second look, maybe it is not that bad. Let me take another look tommorow.

@datenwolf I believe I'm limited to OpenGL ES 2.0. Presumably hardware can do more but our current drivers can not, so we are stuck there.

On the other hand... #librem5 main sensor can not do 10bpp at the moment, due to missing drivers. So maybe we can focus on 8bpp, first. Probably ineffecient conversion is "good enough" too, as GPU is a bit overpowered for this job.

@datenwolf So linearization should be doable with functions, too. Small trouble is that it is sensor-dependent but ... we have enough mathematical tools to deal with that. Actual functions can be seen here: https://blog.brixit.nl/fixing-the-megapixels-sensor-linearization/

Yep, recent bwtest shows that (extremely simple) debayer is feasible, and possibly more. So far I integrated debayer-gpu + gstreamer, and I'm meeting the deadlines.

@dos Sorry, hero, that's dark magic behind my understanding. I see the words but don't understand the sentences. :-(

I'd need working example here. I got surprisingly far vibecoding this, but even robots have their limits.

I, once again, believe that GPU on Librem 5 can be useful for debayering. #librem5 #linuxphone https://gitlab.com/tui/debayer-gpu/-/tree/master/bwtest?ref_type=heads

@dos If you have example of that, that would be welcome :-). That's not how megapixels work, at least.

@mkyral @Creep73 Jo jo, protoze chyba "kernel muze havarovat kdyz mu dojde pamet ktera dojit nemuze" je stejne zavazna jako "remote root diky chybe v parsovani IP". To dava smysl!
