DngCreator


public final class DngCreator
extends Object implements AutoCloseable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.hardware.camera2.DngCreator


The DngCreator class provides functions to write raw pixel data as a DNG file.

This class is designed to be used with the ImageFormat.RAW_SENSOR buffers available from CameraDevice, or with Bayer-type raw pixel data that is otherwise generated by an application. The DNG metadata tags will be generated from a CaptureResult object or set directly.

The DNG file format is a cross-platform file format that is used to store pixel data from camera sensors with minimal pre-processing applied. DNG files allow for pixel data to be defined in a user-defined colorspace, and have associated metadata that allow for this pixel data to be converted to the standard CIE XYZ colorspace during post-processing.

For more information on the DNG file format and associated metadata, please refer to the Adobe DNG 1.4.0.0 specification.

Public constructors

DngCreator

Added in API level 21
public DngCreator (CameraCharacteristics characteristics, 
                CaptureResult metadata)

Create a new DNG object.

It is not necessary to call any set methods to write a well-formatted DNG file.

DNG metadata tags will be generated from the corresponding parameters in the CaptureResult object.

For best quality DNG files, it is strongly recommended that lens shading map output is enabled if supported. See CaptureRequest#STATISTICS_LENS_SHADING_MAP_MODE.

Parameters
characteristics CameraCharacteristics: an object containing the static CameraCharacteristics. This value cannot be null.

metadata CaptureResult: a metadata object to generate tags from. This value cannot be null.

Public methods

close

Added in API level 21
public void close ()

Closes this resource, relinquishing any underlying resources. This method is invoked automatically on objects managed by the try-with-resources statement.

setDescription

Added in API level 21
public DngCreator setDescription (String description)

Set the user description string to write.

This is equivalent to setting the TIFF "ImageDescription" tag (0x010E).

Parameters
description String: the user description string. This value cannot be null.

Returns
DngCreator this DngCreator(CameraCharacteristics, CaptureResult) object. This value cannot be null.

setLocation

Added in API level 21
public DngCreator setLocation (Location location)

Set image location metadata.

The given location object must contain at least a valid time, latitude, and longitude (equivalent to the values returned by Location.getTime(), Location.getLatitude(), and Location.getLongitude() methods).

Parameters
location Location: an Location object to set. This value cannot be null.

Returns
DngCreator this DngCreator(CameraCharacteristics, CaptureResult) object. This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the given location object doesn't contain enough information to set location metadata.

setOrientation

Added in API level 21
public DngCreator setOrientation (int orientation)

Set the orientation value to write.

This will be written as the TIFF "Orientation" tag (0x0112). Calling this will override any prior settings for this tag.

Parameters
orientation int: the orientation value to set, one of:

Returns
DngCreator this DngCreator(CameraCharacteristics, CaptureResult) object. This value cannot be null.

setThumbnail

Added in API level 21
public DngCreator setThumbnail (Image pixels)

Set the thumbnail image.

Pixel data is interpreted as a ImageFormat.YUV_420_888 image. Thumbnail images with a dimension larger than MAX_THUMBNAIL_DIMENSION will be rejected.

Parameters
pixels Image: an Image object with the format ImageFormat.YUV_420_888. This value cannot be null.

Returns
DngCreator this DngCreator(CameraCharacteristics, CaptureResult) object. This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the given thumbnail image has a dimension larger than MAX_THUMBNAIL_DIMENSION.

setThumbnail

Added in API level 21
public DngCreator setThumbnail (Bitmap pixels)

Set the thumbnail image.

Pixel data will be converted to a Baseline TIFF RGB image, with 8 bits per color channel. The alpha channel will be discarded. Thumbnail images with a dimension larger than MAX_THUMBNAIL_DIMENSION will be rejected.

Parameters
pixels Bitmap: a Bitmap of pixel data. This value cannot be null.

Returns
DngCreator this DngCreator(CameraCharacteristics, CaptureResult) object. This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the given thumbnail image has a dimension larger than MAX_THUMBNAIL_DIMENSION.

writeByteBuffer

Added in API level 21
public void writeByteBuffer (OutputStream dngOutput, 
                Size size, 
                ByteBuffer pixels, 
                long offset)

Write the ImageFormat.RAW_SENSOR pixel data to a DNG file with the currently configured metadata.

Raw pixel data must have 16 bits per pixel, and the input must contain at least offset + 2 * width * height) bytes. The width and height of the input are taken from the width and height set in the DngCreator metadata tags, and will typically be equal to the width and height of CameraCharacteristics#SENSOR_INFO_PRE_CORRECTION_ACTIVE_ARRAY_SIZE. Prior to API level 23, this was always the same as CameraCharacteristics#SENSOR_INFO_ACTIVE_ARRAY_SIZE. The pixel layout in the input is determined from the reported color filter arrangement (CFA) set in CameraCharacteristics#SENSOR_INFO_COLOR_FILTER_ARRANGEMENT. If insufficient metadata is available to write a well-formatted DNG file, an IllegalStateException will be thrown.

Any mark or limit set on this ByteBuffer is ignored, and will be cleared by this method.

Parameters
dngOutput OutputStream: an OutputStream to write the DNG file to. This value cannot be null.

size Size: the Size of the image to write, in pixels. This value cannot be null.

pixels ByteBuffer: an ByteBuffer of pixel data to write. This value cannot be null.

offset long: the offset of the raw image in bytes. This indicates how many bytes will be skipped in the input before any pixel data is read. Value is 0 or greater

Throws
IOException if an error was encountered in the input or output stream.
IllegalStateException if not enough metadata information has been set to write a well-formatted DNG file.

Protected methods

finalize

Added in API level 21
protected void finalize ()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked if and when the Java virtual machine has determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is permanently discarded.

The finalize method of class Object performs no special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of Object may override this definition.

The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method, the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.

After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized, at which point the object may be discarded.

The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java virtual machine for any given object.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws
Throwable
