complex camera support library for Linux, Android, and ChromeOS

Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing operations. Control of the 
processing is based on advanced algorithms that must run on a programmable processor. This has 
traditionally been implemented in a dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices algorithms 
have been moved to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the boundary between camera devices and Linux 
often left the user with no other option than a vendor-specific closed-source solution.

To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started collaboration with the 
industry to develop a camera stack that will be open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor 
core IP. libcamera was born out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to 
Linux-based systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android.
