SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================================================= +Raspberry Pi PiSP Back End Memory-to-Memory ISP (pisp-be) +========================================================= + +The PiSP Back End +================= + +The PiSP Back End is a memory-to-memory Image Signal Processor (ISP) which reads +image data from DRAM memory and performs image processing as specified by the +application through the parameters in a configuration buffer, before writing +pixel data back to memory through two distinct output channels. + +The ISP registers and programming model are documented in the `Raspberry Pi +Image Signal Processor (PiSP) Specification document`_ + +The PiSP Back End ISP processes images in tiles. The handling of image +tessellation and the computation of low-level configuration parameters is +realized by a free software library called `libpisp +`_. + +The full image processing pipeline, which involves capturing RAW Bayer data from +an image sensor through a MIPI CSI-2 compatible capture interface, storing them +in DRAM memory and processing them in the PiSP Back End to obtain images usable +by an application is implemented in `libcamera `_ as +part of the Raspberry Pi platform support. + +The pisp-be driver +================== + +The Raspberry Pi PiSP Back End (pisp-be) driver is located under +drivers/media/platform/raspberrypi/pisp-be. It uses the `V4L2 API` to register +a number of video capture and output devices, the `V4L2 subdev API` to register +a subdevice for the ISP that connects the video devices in a single media graph +realized using the `Media Controller (MC) API`. + +The media topology registered by the `pisp-be` driver is represented below: + +.. _pips-be-topology: + +.. kernel-figure:: raspberrypi-pisp-be.dot + :alt: Diagram of the default media pipeline topology + :align: center + + +The media graph registers the following video device nodes: + +- pispbe-input: output device for images to be submitted to the ISP for + processing. +- pispbe-tdn_input: output device for temporal denoise. +- pispbe-stitch_input: output device for image stitching (HDR). +- pispbe-output0: first capture device for processed images. +- pispbe-output1: second capture device for processed images. +- pispbe-tdn_output: capture device for temporal denoise. +- pispbe-stitch_output: capture device for image stitching (HDR). +- pispbe-config: output device for ISP configuration parameters. + +pispbe-input +------------ + +Images to be processed by the ISP are queued to the `pispbe-input` output device +node.
