Jetson argus_camera not affecting gain

arnout.diels · April 10, 2020, 12:23pm

Hi,

I am trying to use the argus_camera program to leverage both sensor settings and ISP settings for a video feed.
(I am using the Xavier AGX with the D3 ov10640 FPDlink rugged camera at the moment)

The video feed works, and I can modify the exposure settings inside argus_camera, and notice (from dyndbg prints of the ov10640 v4l driver) that this is actually modifying the relevant control

However, for the gain setting, this is NOT working. If I change the gain range (the same way as I did with the exposure) , I do not see any v4l control call, which is unexpected. (TEGRA_CAMERA_CID_GAIN is registered as control as int64).

What could be going wrong here? Is there a way to get more output from argus_camera to further debug why it is not setting this value?

(I am on jetpack 4.3)

Thanks for your reply

Did you try set the high and low as the same value? Like 1.0 to 1.0 ?

arnout.diels · April 14, 2020, 6:58am

Yes of course. That way you could try and “force” a value. (This works for exposure). But as mentioned, this does not have any effect for gain (does not call the v4l control api for some reason)

It could be your driver problem. I can see the set_gain() be called for imx274 when I set the gain range to 44.400 to 44.400

[ 197.438088] imx274 30-001a: imx274_set_gain: val: 44400000
[ 197.438095] imx274 30-001a: imx274_set_gain: val:44400000, gain:44, again:(22, 1956), dgain:(2, 1)

Interesting.

So there must be some difference indeed (but I don’t immediately see what). Is there a way to let the argus_daemon produce more verbose output perhaps, in order to see what it misses in the driver api? (who knows, could also be the DTS?) That could speed my search up alot. (Since I don’t see what is wrong at the moment, the only other option would be to fully work from the imx274 driver back to mine in terms of API iteratively, but this is a slow and stupid way. I’d love some error message from argus telling me why it thinks it should not propagate gain. (Note: I does parse the DTS correctly, and applies the bounds I set there. So I must “try” to set it I would guess).

Thanks

sudo su
kill the process of nvargus-daemon
export enableCamPclLogs=5
export enableCamScfLogs=5
/usr/sbin/nvargus-daemon

launch argus_camera in another console.

arnout.diels · April 14, 2020, 8:17am

Thanks. I found those on other threads as well. Can you perhaps post your “correct” output, so I can compare mine?

ShaneCCC · April 14, 2020, 8:29am

What’s do you mean correct output?

arnout.diels · April 14, 2020, 8:32am

Well, “your log”. As you can modify the gain, your debug output should be “correct”.

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the reply
I picked up the subject again, and I am able to see the requests coming through to the driver, but for some reason argus fails to respect the range I am inputting (and is clipping to one end)

For example:

My DTS snippet:

		inherent_gain = "1";
		gain_factor = "1";
		min_gain_val = "1000000";
		max_gain_val = "8000000";
		step_gain_val = "1";
		default_gain = "1000000";
		//min_hdr_ratio = "1";
		//max_hdr_ratio = "1";
		framerate_factor = "1000000";
		min_framerate = "1500000";
		max_framerate = "60000000";
		step_framerate = "1";
		default_framerate= "60000000";
		exposure_factor = "1000000";
		//min_exp_time = "44";
		//max_exp_time = "478696";
		step_exp_time = "1";
		default_exp_time = "16667";/* us */

Argus-camera command:

		./argus_camera  --gainrange='3000000,3000000'

Note how it goes from the lower limit to the upper limit. It seems to be following some auto-tuning process, but given my limits in argus_camera, it should not do this? Also playing with the visual application, it just seems to ignore my inputs (but the GUI elements -are- limited to the DTS values, and the “autotuning” also never goes beyond these)

Any idea what is causing this?

Kind regards,
Arnout

Why do you comment out the min_exp_time/max_exp_time
The gainrange must in the range of min_exp_time - max_exp_timethe device tree report.

arnout.diels · May 14, 2020, 6:45am

huh? There is min_gain_val and max_gain_val. I would assume it has to be between those two, and has nothing to do with exposure?
The exposure min and max were commented as a test, but as this question was regarding gain and not exposure, I figured it had no impact
