事件和影格通知機制

前一版 Exterior View System (EVS) 中 IEvsCameraStream 介面定義單一回呼方法來提供所擷取的影片 (只會) 標示頁框。雖然這可以簡化 EVS 服務用戶端實作程序, 讓客戶難以辨別任何串流事件 才能妥善處理為改善 EVS 開發體驗,Android 開放原始碼計畫現在包含 額外的回呼,用來提供串流事件。

package android.hardware.automotive.evs@1.1;

import @1.0::IEvsCameraStream;

/**
 * Implemented on client side to receive asynchronous video frame deliveries.
 */
interface IEvsCameraStream extends @1.0::IEvsCameraStream {
    /**
     * Receives calls from the HAL each time a video frame is ready for inspection.
     * Buffer handles received by this method must be returned via calls to
     * IEvsCamera::doneWithFrame_1_1(). When the video stream is stopped via a call
     * to IEvsCamera::stopVideoStream(), this callback may continue to happen for
     * some time as the pipeline drains. Each frame must still be returned.
     * When the last frame in the stream has been delivered, STREAM_STOPPED
     * event must be delivered. No further frame deliveries may happen
     * thereafter.
     *
     * @param buffer a buffer descriptor of a delivered image frame.
     */
    oneway deliverFrame_1_1(BufferDesc buffer);

    /**
     * Receives calls from the HAL each time an event happens.
     *
     * @param  event EVS event with possible event information.
     */
    oneway notify(EvsEvent event);
};

這個方法提供的 EvsEventDesc 由三個欄位組成:

  • 事件類型。
  • 用來識別事件來源的字串。
  • 4 個 32 位元文字資料,用來包含可能的事件資訊。
/**
 * Structure that describes informative events occurred during EVS is streaming
 */
struct EvsEvent {
    /**
     * Type of an informative event
     */
    EvsEventType aType;
    /**
     * Device identifier
     */
    string deviceId;
    /**
     * Possible additional information
     */
    uint32_t[4] payload;
};

並避免在 EVS 之間,避免圖形緩衝區說明出現任何差異 和其他 Android 圖形元件,BufferDesc 已重新定義為 請使用從 android.hardware.graphics.common@1.2 介面匯入的 HardwareBufferHardwareBuffer 包含 HardwareBufferDescription,也就是 Android NDK 的 HIDL 對應項目 AHardwareBuffer_Desc,包含緩衝區控制代碼。

/**
 * HIDL counterpart of AHardwareBuffer_Desc.
 *
 * An AHardwareBuffer_Desc object can be converted to and from a
 * HardwareBufferDescription object by memcpy().
 *
 * @sa +ndk libnativewindow#AHardwareBuffer_Desc.
 */
typedef uint32_t[10] HardwareBufferDescription;

/**
 * HIDL counterpart of AHardwareBuffer.
 *
 * AHardwareBuffer_createFromHandle() can be used to convert a HardwareBuffer
 * object to an AHardwareBuffer object.
 *
 * Conversely, AHardwareBuffer_getNativeHandle() can be used to extract a native
 * handle from an AHardwareBuffer object. Paired with AHardwareBuffer_Desc,
 * AHardwareBuffer_getNativeHandle() can be used to convert between
 * HardwareBuffer and AHardwareBuffer.
 *
 * @sa +ndk libnativewindow#AHardwareBuffer".
 */
struct HardwareBuffer {
    HardwareBufferDescription description;
    handle nativeHandle;
}

/**
 * Structure representing an image buffer through our APIs
 *
 * In addition to the handle to the graphics memory, need to retain
 * the properties of the buffer for easy reference and reconstruction of
 * an ANativeWindowBuffer object on the remote side of API calls.
 * Not least because OpenGL expect an ANativeWindowBuffer* for us as a
 * texture via eglCreateImageKHR().
 */
struct BufferDesc {
    /**
     * HIDL counterpart of AHardwareBuffer_Desc. Please see
     * hardware/interfaces/graphics/common/1.2/types.hal for more details.
     */
    HardwareBuffer buffer;
    /**
     * The size of a pixel in the units of bytes
     */
    uint32_t pixelSize;
    /**
     * Opaque value from driver
     */
    uint32_t bufferId;
    /**
     * Unique identifier of the physical camera device that produces this buffer.
     */
    string deviceId;
    /**
     * Time that this buffer is being filled
     */
    int64_t timestamp;
    /**
     * Frame metadata. This is opaque to EVS manager
     */
    vec<uint8_t> metadata
};

注意: HardwareBufferDescription 定義為 由十個 32 位元單字組成的陣列建議以「AHardwareBuffer_Desc」類型進行投放 並填入內容

EvsEventDescenum EvsEventType 的結構。 其中列出數個串流事件和 32 位元字詞酬載,其中 開發人員可以提供可能的額外資訊。舉例來說 可以為串流錯誤事件加入錯誤代碼。

/**
 * Types of informative streaming events
 */
enum EvsEventType : uint32_t {
    /**
     * Video stream is started
     */
    STREAM_STARTED = 0,
    /**
     * Video stream is stopped
     */
    STREAM_STOPPED,
    /**
     * Video frame is dropped
     */
    FRAME_DROPPED,
    /**
     * Timeout happens
     */
    TIMEOUT,
    /**
     * Camera parameter is changed; payload contains a changed parameter ID and
     * its value
     */
    PARAMETER_CHANGED,
    /**
     * Master role has become available
     */
    MASTER_RELEASED,
};

影格放送

新的 BufferDesc 也包含 IEvsCameraStream 導入了用於接收影格和串流事件的全新回呼方法 以及實際呼叫的程式碼

/**
 * Implemented on client side to receive asynchronous streaming event deliveries.
 */
interface IEvsCameraStream extends @1.0::IEvsCameraStream {
   /**
    * Receives calls from the HAL each time video frames are ready for inspection.
    * Buffer handles received by this method must be returned via calls to
    * IEvsCamera::doneWithFrame_1_1(). When the video stream is stopped via a call
    * to IEvsCamera::stopVideoStream(), this callback may continue to happen for
    * some time as the pipeline drains. Each frame must still be returned.
    * When the last frame in the stream has been delivered, STREAM_STOPPED
    * event must be delivered. No further frame deliveries may happen
    * thereafter.
    *
    * A camera device delivers the same number of frames as number of
    * backing physical camera devices; it means, a physical camera device
    * sends always a single frame and a logical camera device sends multiple
    * frames as many as the number of backing physical camera devices.
    *
    * @param buffer Buffer descriptors of delivered image frames.
    */
   oneway deliverFrame_1_1(vec<BufferDesc> buffer);

   /**
    * Receives calls from the HAL each time an event happens.
    *
    * @param  event EVS event with possible event information.
    */
   oneway notify(EvsEventDesc event);
};

新版框架回呼方法的設計可提供 。因此,採用 EVS 相機的方式 管理多個來源。

此外,前一個通訊協定會在串流結束時發出通知 傳送空值框架,已淘汰,並由 STREAM_STOPPED 取代 活動。

事件通知序列圖表

使用事件和影格通知機制

識別由用戶端實作的 IEvsCameraStream 版本

此服務可以識別傳入 IEvsCameraStream 介面的版本 所執行命令:

using IEvsCameraStream_1_0 =
    ::android::hardware::automotive::evs::V1_0::IEvsCameraStream;
using IEvsCameraStream_1_1 =
    ::android::hardware::automotive::evs::V1_1::IEvsCameraStream;

Return<EvsResult> EvsV4lCamera::startVideoStream(
    const sp<IEvsCameraStream_1_0>& stream)  {

    IEvsCameraStream_1_0 aStream = stream;
    // Try to downcast. This succeeds if the client implements
    // IEvsCameraStream v1.1.
    IEvsCameraStream_1_1 aStream_1_1 =
        IEvsCameraStream_1_1::castFrom(aStream).withDefault(nullptr);
    if (aStream_1_1 == nullptr) {
        ALOGI("Start a stream for v1.0 client.");
    } else {
        ALOGI("Start a stream for v1.1 client.");
    }

    // Start a video stream
    ...
}

notify() 回呼

EvsEvent 會透過 notify() 回呼傳遞, 接著,用戶端就能根據鑑別器識別其類型,如下所示:

Return<void> StreamHandler::notify(const EvsEvent& event) {
    ALOGD("Received an event id: %u", event.aType);
    // Handle each received event.
    switch(event.aType) {
        case EvsEventType::ERROR:
            // Do something to handle an error
            ...
            break;
        [More cases]
    }
    return Void();
}

使用 BufferDesc

AHardwareBuffer_Desc 是 Android NDK 的資料類型,代表可繫結的原生硬體緩衝區 EGL/OpenGL 和 Vulkan 基元。其中含有先前 因此會在新的 BufferDesc 定義中取代 EVS BufferDesc。不過, 定義為 HIDL 介面中的陣列,無法直接建立索引成員變數。 您可以改為將陣列轉換為 AHardwareBuffer_Desc 類型,如下所示:

BufferDesc bufDesc = {};
AHardwareBuffer_Desc* pDesc =
    reinterpret_cast<AHardwareBuffer_Desc *>(&bufDesc.buffer.description);
pDesc->width  = mVideo.getWidth();
pDesc->height = mVideo.getHeight();
pDesc->layers = 1;
pDesc->format = mFormat;
pDesc->usage  = mUsage;
pDesc->stride = mStride;
bufDesc_1_1.buffer.nativeHandle = mBuffers[idx].handle;
bufDesc_1_1.bufferId = idx;
