DngCreator

class DngCreator : AutoCloseable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ 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 android.graphics.ImageFormat#RAW_SENSOR buffers available from android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice, or with Bayer-type raw pixel data that is otherwise generated by an application. The DNG metadata tags will be generated from a android.hardware.camera2.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
DngCreator(
    characteristics: CameraCharacteristics,
    metadata: CaptureResult)

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 android.hardware.camera2.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 android.hardware.camera2.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
fun close(): Unit
Exceptions
java.lang.Exception if this resource cannot be closed

setDescription

Added in API level 21
fun setDescription(description: String): DngCreator

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.
Return
DngCreator this DngCreator object. This value cannot be null.

setLocation

Added in API level 21
fun setLocation(location: Location): DngCreator

Set image location metadata.

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

Parameters
location Location: an android.location.Location object to set. This value cannot be null.
Return
DngCreator this DngCreator object. This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the given location object doesn't contain enough information to set location metadata.

setOrientation

Added in API level 21
fun setOrientation(orientation: Int): DngCreator

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:
Return
DngCreator this DngCreator object. This value cannot be null.

setThumbnail

Added in API level 21
fun setThumbnail(pixels: Bitmap): DngCreator

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 android.graphics.Bitmap of pixel data. This value cannot be null.
Return
DngCreator this DngCreator object. This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the given thumbnail image has a dimension larger than MAX_THUMBNAIL_DIMENSION.

setThumbnail

Added in API level 21
fun setThumbnail(pixels: Image): DngCreator

Set the thumbnail image.

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

Parameters
pixels Image: an android.media.Image object with the format android.graphics.ImageFormat#YUV_420_888. This value cannot be null.
Return
DngCreator this DngCreator object. This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the given thumbnail image has a dimension larger than MAX_THUMBNAIL_DIMENSION.

writeByteBuffer

Added in API level 21
fun writeByteBuffer(
    dngOutput: OutputStream,
    size: Size,
    pixels: ByteBuffer,
    offset: Long
): Unit

Write the android.graphics.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 java.lang.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 java.io.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 java.nio.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
Exceptions
java.io.IOException if an error was encountered in the input or output stream.
java.lang.IllegalStateException if not enough metadata information has been set to write a well-formatted DNG file.

writeImage

Added in API level 21
fun writeImage(
    dngOutput: OutputStream,
    pixels: Image
): Unit

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