Overview

A MeteringPoint is used to specify a region which can then be converted to sensor coordinate system for focus and metering purpose.

Conceptually, a MeteringPoint is a opaque handle to a metering point created by a MeteringPointFactory, for use when building a FocusMeteringAction. The coordinates of the point are specified by the application when creating points from the factory, and then the coordinates are converted into an internal representation stored by this class. Because of the nature of internal representation, the X and Y of the MeteringPoint is not publicly visible. These are for internal use only.

When a FocusMeteringAction is submitted via CameraControl.startFocusAndMetering(FocusMeteringAction), the MeteringPoint is converted to a point in the sensor coordinate system where it defines the center of a metering rectangle. If zoom is applied via CameraControl , it will set a crop region calculated by the zoom and the final coordinates will be mapped into the crop region. If not set, it is mapped to the sensor active array.

Besides defining the center point of the metering rectangle, there is also the size of the MeteringPoint. The size of the MeteringPoint ranges from 0 to 1.0. The size is the percentage of sensor width and height (or crop region width/height if crop region is set). See formula below:

Metering rectangle width = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.width
 Metering rectangle height = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.height
 
The metering rectangle defined by the MeteringPoint has the same shape as the sensor array.

Summary

Methods
public floatgetSize()

Size of the MeteringPoint width and height (ranging from 0 to 1).

public RationalgetSurfaceAspectRatio()

Get aspect ratio of the output to be adjusted for final sensor coordinates.

public floatgetX()

center X of the region in current normalized surface coordinate system.

public floatgetY()

center Y of the region in current normalized surface coordinate system.

Methods

public float getX()

center X of the region in current normalized surface coordinate system. (ranging from 0 to 1).

public float getY()

center Y of the region in current normalized surface coordinate system. (ranging from 0 to 1).

public float getSize()

Size of the MeteringPoint width and height (ranging from 0 to 1). It is the percentage of the sensor width/height (or crop region width/height if crop region is set).

Crop region is set when zoom is set in CameraControl and it is the region inside the sensor active array and it defines the output region of the sensor. See formula below:

Metering rectangle width = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.width
 Metering rectangle height = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.height
 

public Rational getSurfaceAspectRatio()

Get aspect ratio of the output to be adjusted for final sensor coordinates.

SurfaceAspectRatio is used when the output is not preview. Because not every output has the same aspect ratio as the sensor array, the output image could be cropped by the rule . Therefore in order to correctly convert a normalized (x, y) of a certain to the sensor pixel array, we need to know the aspect ratio of the . For most cases Preview Surface is used because normally user will focus and metering on a area from preview. Having surfaceAspectRatio allows us to have the flexibility to support different aspect ratios of other UseCase. For example, apps might want to focus on some area when analyzing images in ImageAnalysis. If surfaceAspectRatio is null, then Preview aspect ratio will be used. Otherwise, use the specified surfaceAspectRatio.
