Improved JL2005BCD patch for libv4lcnvert
Hans,
The patch below supercedes the previous one I sent.
Two particular items of interest:
1. The Bayer tiling question seems to be resolved.
2. White balance is enabled and seems to help a lot. I am not certain if
one ought to enable a gamma setting as well, but things look pretty decent
without it, seems to me.
Other remarks:
It is pretty clear that these cameras have an internal gain setting which
relies upon internal feedback for self-correction. It works pretty well
most of the time, but sometimes it overcorrects and thereby goes a little
bit crazy.
I have tried it out with a bunch of cameras now. I did not check
individually which one is which, but I have a fairly large set of them
which includes the B and C and D variants, and some of the fancy ones have
the LCD previewer on the back but definitely do not send preview
thumbnails in webcam mode. So all of them seem to work. I would dare to
presume that your camera will work, too, whenever you get around to
checking it.
