Hi, ov7670 and ov7675 sensors have the possibility of querying the average value of the Y/Cb components of the image reading a register. This could be useful for applications such as calise [1]. This program grabs frames from a video camera, calculates the average brightness and then adjusts screen's backlight accordingly.
If the user could query the value of this register t in cameras that support it we could save a lot of processing effort. The first idea that came into my mind was to define a new v4l2-ctrl for this but I'm not sure if it is a common feature in other sensors. Is it worth it to define a new v4l2-ctrl for this or should I use a private ctrl instead? Regards. [1] http://calise.sourceforge.net/wordpress/ -- Javier Martin Vista Silicon S.L.
