Processing Raw Data from Custom Built Camera

Hello! I am working on a bit of a hobby project you might say, more so researching the posibilities of buying a prebuilt chinese image sensor plus the parts needed to make it take raw video and save to a pc. Now the next step is processing this raw data and saving to something like dng's.

Is this something LibRaw would be suitable for doing? I'm presuming I would have to shoot a chart and take raw data from a camera already in your library shooting next to my frankencamera to tell it what colour is what?

Thank you :)

Depth range for Sony ARW compressed raw

Hi,

I got some data using the latest Sony RX100 VI camera (seems not in libraw list yet). The data should be 12 bits compressed raw, which was confirmed by the Sony support. However, when I use libraw/rawpy to read the raw data (no postprocessing at all). The data range is from 0~16596. Did libraw do any conversion for the data format?

The data is around 20 MB which I cannot attach.

Thank you!

EXIF meta-data during RAW parsing

Hi,

Just wondering is there a data structure that records a relatively complete list of meta-data from the headers of the RAW files? I know there are a few of them now - "libraw_iparams_t", "libraw_lensinfo_t", "libraw_makernotes_t" and "libraw_imgother_t".

If there is something like "exiftool", that would be nice.

Thanks a lot,

Mio

Flattening dcraw_emu output

Hello, I was looking at the output of dcraw_emu -r 1 1 1 1 -T -6 -o -disinterp of a raw file from bayer pattern sensor. The output consists of 3 channels and the sensor response is divided into each channel. For my purpose, I need to merge all channels into one. What's the proper way to do this?

ps, I tried uncompressed_raw, the data distribution is slightly different from dcraw_emu, and I prefer the result of dcraw_emu.

Limiting white balance in my raw images

Hi there,

I found out about libraw while looking for a solution with my raw images, that are messed up by my DSLR...
Part of the image has the white balance set too high.
Is there already someone who wrote an application to limit the white balance to a certain maximum value?
Otherwise, where in this software can I do this myself and store the updated raw image under a new name?

Thanks a lot for all the feed back :-)

Regards, Ronald.

Question about auto_scale

What did auto_scale did in the postprocessing?

For example,
im2 = raw.postprocess(use_camera_wb=True, half_size=True, no_auto_bright=True,no_auto_scale=False, output_bps=16)
im1 = raw.postprocess(use_camera_wb=True, half_size=True, no_auto_bright=True,no_auto_scale=True, output_bps=16)

The only difference is no_auto_scale. Is there anyway that I can manually scale im1 so that it becomes the same as im2?

Thanks a lot!
