Basic Camera Function

Overview

To meet the developer's control requirements for camera-like payloads, PSDK provides interfaces for controlling the camera to perform functions such as taking pictures, recordings, zooming, and focusing. Light and other functions, and then by registering the PSDK camera interface, a fully functional camera payload device is developed. By using DJI Pilot and the Mobile App developed based on MSDK, users can control the camera payload device developed with PSDK to execute the specified Action to obtain information and resources in the payload device.

Basic functions: set camera mode, take pictures, video, get camera status, SD card management
Advanced functions: zoom, metering, focus, video streaming, playback download, media library management

Introduction to basic concepts

Camera Mode

Before using the camera class function, you need to set the mode of the camera class load device. Different modes specify the working logic of the camera class load device when performing a certain task.

Take a photo: In this mode, the user can trigger the camera-like payload device to take a photo.
Recording: In this mode, users can trigger camera-like payload devices to record images.
Video playback: In this mode, users can play or download media files on the load device on the Mobile App.

Note: The camera can only perform corresponding operations in one mode, such as in video mode only video recording but not taking pictures.

Photo Mode

The camera class payload device developed with PSDK supports the following photo modes:

Single shot: After issuing the photo command, the camera takes a single photo.
Continuous shooting: After issuing the photo command, the camera will continuously shoot the specified number of photos; currently supports 2/3/5/7/10/14 continuous shooting.
Timing photo: When a photo command is issued, the camera will take a specified number of photos at a specified time interval.
Currently supports 2/3/5/7/10 second intervals;
Currently, the maximum number of pictures can be specified to be 254. When the number of pictures is 255, the camera will take pictures continuously.

Focus Mode

Auto focus: Auto Focus, referred to as AF. In the autofocus mode, the camera-like load device calculates the focusing result according to the image state (diffuse emission) obtained by the photoelectric sensor to realize the focusing function and obtain a clear image.
Manual focus: Manual Focus, referred to as MF. In manual focus mode, users can get clear images by adjusting the focus ring.

Focus point

Note: The focus point of the camera-like payload is the center of the sensor by default.

When controlling the focus of a camera-like load device, you need to set the focus point first. The value of the focus point is the aspect ratio coefficient of the current focus point in the camera screen, as shown in Figure 1. Focus point.

In AF mode, the developer needs to formulate the camera focusing strategy and set the focus point (the focus point is also called "target point").
In manual focus mode, users can adjust the focus point according to actual needs to obtain the desired image.

Figure 1. Focus point

Focus Ring

A camera-like payload device with a zoom ring (optical zoom) developed using PSDK can set the value of the focus ring by calling the SetFocusRingValue interface:

The value of the focus ring defaults to 0, which means infinity and the closest possible focal length.
When the value of the focus ring is not 0, the user can set the value of the focus ring according to the actual parameters of the camera.

Focus Assistant

In AF and MF modes, the focus assistant can zoom in the focus area specified by the user by means of digital zoom, and call the SetFocusAssistantSettings interface to set the state of the focus assistant. Using the focus assistant, the user can check the focus quality of the current camera-like load device .

Zoom Mode

Optical zoom, by changing the structure of the optical lens to achieve zoom, the larger the optical zoom ratio, the farther the scene can be shot, and vice versa;
Digital zoom, the processor uses a specific algorithm to achieve digital zoom by changing the area of each pixel on the sensor;
Continuous zoom, the camera-like load device controls the lens to move in a specified direction at a specified speed, the camera-like load device first controls the lens to perform optical zoom, and when the optical zoom reaches the upper limit, the camera-like load device then performs digital zoom, so as to achieve Continuous zoom function. Current zoom factor = current optical zoom factor × current digital zoom factor;
Pointing to zoom, after the user specifies a certain target point, the camera-like payload device developed based on PSDK can control the gimbal to rotate, so that the specified target is in the center of the screen, and control the camera-like payload device to enlarge the image according to the preset zoom factor.

zoom direction

ZOOM_IN: The zoom factor is reduced, and the image is from far to near
ZOOM_OUT: The zoom factor is increased, and the image is from near to far

zoom speed

SLOWEST: Zoom at the slowest speed
SLOW: Zoom at a slower speed
MODERATELY_SLOW: zoom at a slightly slower speed than normal
NORMAL: Lens zooms at normal speed
MODERATELY_FAST: zoom slightly faster than normal
FAST : Zoom at a faster speed
FASTEST: zoom at the fastest speed

Metering Mode

Average metering, through the analysis of the overall brightness of the picture, the average brightness value of the picture is calculated, which is suitable for shooting scenes with uniform lighting;
Center-weighted metering, metering only the middle area of the image sensor, suitable for taking photos with framed composition;
Spot metering, for metering within the range centered on the "specified point", as shown in Figure 1. Spot metering area, this method can obtain accurate metering results and ensure that the specified object can be exposed correctly , suitable for shooting scenes with complex lighting.

Figure 1. Spot metering area

The image sensor is divided into 96 dot areas defined by 12 columns and 8 rows. The row index range is [0, 7], where values increase from top to bottom on the image; the column index range is [0, 11], where values increase from left to right.

Zoom Mode

Optical zoom, by changing the structure of the optical lens to achieve zoom, the larger the optical zoom ratio, the farther the scene can be shot, and vice versa;
Digital zoom, the processor uses a specific algorithm to achieve digital zoom by changing the area of each pixel on the sensor;
Continuous zoom, the camera-like load device controls the lens to move in a specified direction at a specified speed, the camera-like load device first controls the lens to perform optical zoom, and when the optical zoom reaches the upper limit, the camera-like load device then performs digital zoom, so as to achieve Continuous zoom function. Current zoom factor = current optical zoom factor × current digital zoom factor;
Pointing to zoom, after the user specifies a certain target point, the camera-like payload device developed based on PSDK can control the gimbal to rotate, so that the specified target is in the center of the screen, and control the camera-like payload device to enlarge the image according to the preset zoom factor.

Media file management

The camera-like payload device developed with PSDK can perform operations such as file deletion or download according to the user's instructions.

Media file preview function

The camera payload device developed with PSDK allows users to preview the media files in the payload device using DJI Pilot or the Mobile App developed based on MSDK.

Static preview: preview a single file or a list of files
Thumbnail, preview file list

Image: The load device generates a thumbnail in the original proportion of the file, please set the width of the preview image to 100 pixels
Video: Capture a frame of the video

Screenshots, preview individual files

Image: at the original ratio, it is recommended to scale the image into a preview image with a width of 600 pixels
Video: Capture a frame of the video

Original files, if you want to get the original media files in the camera-like load device, please use the download function to obtain the specified media files.
Dynamic preview (video preview): play, pause, stop, jump (fast forward, rewind and progress drag)

Note: Supported file formats for dynamic preview: MP4, JPG, DNG and MOV, please refer to Video Standardopen in new window.

Implement the basic functions of the camera class

Developers are requested to construct functions for setting camera mode, taking photos and recordings, etc. for camera-like load devices according to the structure T_DjiCameraCommonHandler in PSDK according to the selected development platform and the actual use requirements of industrial applications, and use the camera function After the functions of the DJI are registered to the interface specified in the PSDK, the user can control the camera-based payload device developed based on the PSDK to perform the corresponding actions by using DJI Pilot or the Mobile App developed based on the MSDK.

// Get the current state of the load device system
s_commonHandler.GetSystemState = GetSystemState;
// Implement the function of setting the camera class load device mode
s_commonHandler.SetMode = SetMode;
s_commonHandler.GetMode = DjiTest_CameraGetMode;
// Implement the function to start or stop recording
s_commonHandler.StartRecordVideo = StartRecordVideo;
s_commonHandler.StopRecordVideo = StopRecordVideo;
// Implement the function to start or stop taking pictures
s_commonHandler.StartShootPhoto = StartShootPhoto;
s_commonHandler.StopShootPhoto = StopShootPhoto;
// Realize the camera function of setting the camera class load device
s_commonHandler.SetShootPhotoMode = SetShootPhotoMode;
s_commonHandler.GetShootPhotoMode = GetShootPhotoMode;
s_commonHandler.SetPhotoBurstCount = SetPhotoBurstCount;
s_commonHandler.GetPhotoBurstCount = GetPhotoBurstCount;
s_commonHandler.SetPhotoTimeIntervalSettings = SetPhotoTimeIntervalSettings;
s_commonHandler.GetPhotoTimeIntervalSettings = GetPhotoTimeIntervalSettings;
// Implement SD card management function
s_commonHandler.GetSDCardState = GetSDCardState;
s_commonHandler.FormatSDCard = FormatSDCard;

Basic function initialization

When using the PSDK to develop the camera function of the payload device, it is necessary to initialize the camera module and register the functions of the camera class.

1. Camera class function module initialization

Before using the camera class function, you must call the interface DjiPayloadCamera_Init to initialize the camera class payload device to ensure that the camera class payload device can work normally.

T_PsdkReturnCode returnCode;

returnCode = DjiPayloadCamera_Init();
if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("payload camera init error:0x%08llX", returnCode);
}

2. Register camera class basic functions

Developers need to register the basic functions of the camera class through DjiPayloadCamera_RegCommonHandler after implementing functions such as setting the camera mode, taking pictures, and recording the camera class load device.

returnCode = DjiPayloadCamera_RegCommonHandler(&s_commonHandler);
if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("camera register common handler error:0x%08llX", returnCode);
}

Using SD card management function

Note:
Camera-like payload devices developed using X-Port need to implement the function of storing media files and register this function in the interface specified by PSDK. The memory card on the X-Port only supports storing the X-Port log information, and cannot store the media files generated by the load device;
This tutorial takes the simulation SD card management function as an example to introduce how to use the PSDK SD card management function. If you need to develop a load device with SD card management function, please call the interface of the load device system to implement the SD card management functions.

1. SD card module initialization

use the SD card management function, the developer needs to first develop and register the function to operate the SD card function, and obtain the status information of the SD card by initializing the SD card management module.

    /* Init the SDcard parameters */
    s_cameraSDCardState.isInserted = true;
    s_cameraSDCardState.isVerified = true;
    s_cameraSDCardState.totalSpaceInMB = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB;
    s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB;
    s_cameraSDCardState.availableCaptureCount = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB / SDCARD_PER_PHOTO_SPACE_IN_MB;
    s_cameraSDCardState.availableRecordingTimeInSeconds = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB / SDCARD_PER_SECONDS_RECORD_SPACE_IN_MB;

2. Get the current status of the SD card

The load device control program developed based on PSDK can call the GetSDCardState interface to obtain the current state of the SD card on the load device. Users can use DJI Pilot and the APP developed based on MSDK to view the status information of the SD card in the load device.

// The function of estimating the number of pictures that can be taken and the duration of video recording.
if (s_cameraState.isRecording) {
s_cameraState.currentVideoRecordingTimeInSeconds++;
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB =
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB - SDCARD_PER_SECONDS_RECORD_SPACE_IN_MB;
if (s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB > SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB) {
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB = 0;
s_cameraSDCardState.isFull = true;
}
}
// Get the status of the SD card
static T_DjiReturnCode GetSDCardState(T_DjiCameraSDCardState *sdCardState)
{
T_DjiReturnCode returnCode;
T_DjiOsalHandler *osalHandler = DjiPlatform_GetOsalHandler();

returnCode = osalHandler->MutexLock(s_commonMutex);
if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("lock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", returnCode);
return returnCode;
}

memcpy(sdCardState, &s_cameraSDCardState, sizeof(T_DjiCameraSDCardState));

returnCode = osalHandler->MutexUnlock(s_commonMutex);
if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("unlock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", returnCode);
return returnCode;
}

return DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS;
}

    returnCode = osalHandler->MutexLock(s_commonMutex);
    if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
        USER_LOG_ERROR("lock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", returnCode);
        return returnCode;
    }

    USER_LOG_INFO("format sdcard");

    memset(&s_cameraSDCardState, 0, sizeof(T_DjiCameraSDCardState));
    s_cameraSDCardState.isInserted = true;
    s_cameraSDCardState.isVerified = true;
    s_cameraSDCardState.totalSpaceInMB = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB;
    s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB;
    s_cameraSDCardState.availableCaptureCount = SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB / SDCARD_PER_PHOTO_SPACE_IN_MB;
    s_cameraSDCardState.availableRecordingTimeInSeconds =
    SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB / SDCARD_PER_SECONDS_RECORD_SPACE_IN_MB;

    returnCode = osalHandler->MutexUnlock(s_commonMutex);
    if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
        USER_LOG_ERROR("unlock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", returnCode);
        return returnCode;
    }

    return DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS;
}

s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB - SDCARD_PER_PHOTO_SPACE_IN_MB;
}
}

3. Check storage space

To ensure that the SD card in the camera-type payload device has sufficient storage space to store photos or videos after the camera-type payload device performs a photo-taking action, it is recommended to add the function of checking the storage space of the SD card to the camera-type payload device developed with PSDK.

Check the remaining storage space of the SD card after the camera-like payload performs single shooting and continuous shooting.

if (s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB > SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB) {
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB = 0;
s_cameraSDCardState.isFull = true;
}

Check the remaining storage space of the SD card after the camera-like load device performs timed photography

if (s_cameraShootPhotoMode == DJI_CAMERA_SHOOT_PHOTO_MODE_INTERVAL) {
if (isStartIntervalPhotoAction == true) {
s_cameraState.isStoring = false;
s_cameraState.shootingState = DJI_CAMERA_SHOOTING_PHOTO_IDLE;
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB =
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB - SDCARD_PER_PHOTO_SPACE_IN_MB;
}
}

Using the remote control, you can control the camera-like load device to take pictures, as shown in Figure 3. Take pictures.

Figure 3. Take a photo

In single-shot mode, you can take pictures, as shown in Figure 4. Single-shot.

Figure 4. Single shot

In the continuous shooting mode, after setting the number of continuous shots of the camera-loaded device, the camera-loaded device can perform continuous shooting, as shown in Figure 5. Continuous shooting.

Use the recording function

Note:
Camera-type payload devices cannot take pictures and meters during the recording process;
Developers can set the default values of parameters such as ISO, exposure and focus when recording camera-like payloads according to user needs;
Before using the video recording function of the camera-based payload device, the user needs to set the camera-based payload device's mode to the video recording mode on DJI Pilot or the Mobile App developed based on MSDK.

1. Control the camera to record

The payload device control program developed based on PSDK calls the StartRecordVideo and StopRecordVideo interfaces to control the video recording of the camera payload device. Users can use DJI Pilot and the Mobile App developed based on MSDK to control the camera payload device recording.

static T_DjiReturnCode StartRecordVideo(void)
{
T_DjiReturnCode djiStat;
T_DjiReturnCode returnCode = DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS;
T_DjiOsalHandler *osalHandler = DjiPlatform_GetOsalHandler();

djiStat = osalHandler->MutexLock(s_commonMutex);
if (djiStat != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("lock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", djiStat);
return djiStat;
}

if (s_cameraState.isRecording != false) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("camera is already in recording state");
returnCode = DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_NONSUPPORT_IN_CURRENT_STATE;
goto out;
}

s_cameraState.isRecording = true;
USER_LOG_INFO("start record video");

out:
djiStat = osalHandler->MutexUnlock(s_commonMutex);
if (djiStat != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("unlock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", djiStat);
return djiStat;
}

return returnCode;
}

static T_DjiReturnCode StopRecordVideo(void)
{
T_DjiReturnCode djiStat;

djiStat = osalHandler->MutexLock(s_commonMutex);
if (djiStat != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("lock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", djiStat);
return djiStat;
}

if (s_cameraState.isRecording != true) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("camera is not in recording state");
returnCode = DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_NONSUPPORT_IN_CURRENT_STATE;
goto out;
}

s_cameraState.isRecording = false;
s_cameraState.currentVideoRecordingTimeInSeconds = 0;
USER_LOG_INFO("stop record video");

out:
djiStat = osalHandler->MutexUnlock(s_commonMutex);
if (djiStat != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("unlock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", djiStat);
return djiStat;
}

return returnCode;
}

2. Recording status update

The camera class load device control program developed with PSDK updates the status of the camera at a frequency of 10Hz by default.

Note: After the camera starts recording, DJI Pilot and the Mobile App developed based on MSDK will display the current recording time. When the camera stops recording, the time will return to 0.

if (s_cameraState.isRecording) {
s_cameraState.currentVideoRecordingTimeInSeconds++;
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB =
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB - SDCARD_PER_SECONDS_RECORD_SPACE_IN_MB;
if (s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB > SDCARD_TOTAL_SPACE_IN_MB) {
s_cameraSDCardState.remainSpaceInMB = 0;
s_cameraSDCardState.isFull = true;
}
}

static T_DjiReturnCode GetSystemState(T_DjiCameraSystemState *systemState)
{
T_DjiReturnCode returnCode;
T_DjiOsalHandler *osalHandler = DjiPlatform_GetOsalHandler();

returnCode = osalHandler->MutexLock(s_commonMutex);
if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("lock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", returnCode);
return returnCode;
}

*systemState = s_cameraState;

returnCode = osalHandler->MutexUnlock(s_commonMutex);
if (returnCode != DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS) {
USER_LOG_ERROR("unlock mutex error: 0x%08llX.", returnCode);
return returnCode;
}

return DJI_ERROR_SYSTEM_MODULE_CODE_SUCCESS;
}

After sending a video recording command to the payload device on DJI Pilot or a Mobile App developed based on MSDK (you can also send a video recording command to the payload device through the remote control), the camera-type payload device controls the payload device to record video according to the command sent by the user, as shown in Figure 7. Camera video as shown.

Get the object of pointing and zooming The camera class payload device developed with PSDK obtains the zoom object specified by the user in the Mobile App through the TapZoomAtTarget interface. After confirming that the pointing zoom function is enabled, calculate the rotation angle of the gimbal and control the camera rotation according to the target point position and the mixed focal length.
