## Detailed Description

After capturing the data for a camera frame, the camera hardware and software performs various image processing tasks to produce a final image. This includes compensating for ambient light color, reducing noise, as well as making some other adjustments to the image.

You can retrieve this class from an instance of a QCamera object.

For example, you can set the white balance (or color temperature) used for processing images:

     camera = new QCamera;
     QCameraImageProcessing *imageProcessing = camera->imageProcessing();

     if (imageProcessing->isAvailable()) {
         imageProcessing->setWhiteBalanceMode(QCameraImageProcessing::WhiteBalanceFluorescent);
     }

Or adjust the amount of denoising performed:

     imageProcessing->setDenoisingLevel(-0.3); //reduce the amount of denoising applied

In some cases changing these settings may result in a longer delay before an image is ready.

For more information on image processing of camera frames, see Camera Image Processing.

## Member Function Documentation

### `[virtual protected]` QCameraImageProcessing::~QCameraImageProcessing()

Destroys the camera focus object.

### qreal QCameraImageProcessing::brightness() const

Returns the brightness adjustment setting.

See also setBrightness().

### ColorFilter QCameraImageProcessing::colorFilter() const

Returns the color filter which will be applied to image data captured by the camera.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

See also setColorFilter().

### qreal QCameraImageProcessing::contrast() const

Returns the contrast adjustment setting.

See also setContrast().

### qreal QCameraImageProcessing::denoisingLevel() const

Returns the denoising adjustment level.

See also setDenoisingLevel().

### bool QCameraImageProcessing::isAvailable() const

Returns true if image processing related settings are supported by this camera.

### bool QCameraImageProcessing::isColorFilterSupported(ColorFilter filter) const

Returns true if a color filter is supported.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

### bool QCameraImageProcessing::isWhiteBalanceModeSupported(WhiteBalanceMode mode) const

Returns true if the white balance mode is supported.

### qreal QCameraImageProcessing::manualWhiteBalance() const

Returns the current color temperature if the current white balance mode is `WhiteBalanceManual`. For other modes the return value is undefined.

See also setManualWhiteBalance().

### qreal QCameraImageProcessing::saturation() const

Returns the saturation adjustment value.

See also setSaturation().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setBrightness(qreal value)

Set the brightness adjustment to value.

Valid brightness adjustment values range between -1.0 and 1.0, with a default of 0.

See also brightness().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setColorFilter(ColorFilter filter)

Sets the color filter which will be applied to image data captured by the camera.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.

See also colorFilter().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setContrast(qreal value)

Set the contrast adjustment to value.

Valid contrast adjustment values range between -1.0 and 1.0, with a default of 0.

See also contrast().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setDenoisingLevel(qreal level)

Sets the denoising adjustment level.

Valid denoising values range between -1.0 and 1.0, with a default of 0.

If the parameter value is set to 0, the amount of denoising applied is selected by camera and depends on camera capabilities and settings. Changing value in -1.0..1.0 range adjusts the amount of denoising applied within the supported range.

See also denoisingLevel().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setManualWhiteBalance(qreal colorTemperature)

Sets manual white balance to colorTemperature. This is used when whiteBalanceMode() is set to `WhiteBalanceManual`. The units are Kelvin.

See also manualWhiteBalance().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setSaturation(qreal value)

Sets the saturation adjustment value to value.

Valid saturation values range between -1.0 and 1.0, with a default of 0.

See also saturation().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setSharpeningLevel(qreal level)

Sets the sharpening adjustment level.

Valid sharpening values range between -1.0 and 1.0, with a default of 0.

See also sharpeningLevel().

### void QCameraImageProcessing::setWhiteBalanceMode(WhiteBalanceMode mode)

Sets the white balance to mode.

See also whiteBalanceMode().

### qreal QCameraImageProcessing::sharpeningLevel() const

Returns the sharpening adjustment level.

See also setSharpeningLevel().

### WhiteBalanceMode QCameraImageProcessing::whiteBalanceMode() const

Returns the white balance mode being used.

See also setWhiteBalanceMode().
