StreamConfigurationMap

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap

Class Overview

Immutable class to store the available stream configurations to set up Surfaces for creating a capture session with createCaptureSession(List, CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler).

This is the authoritative list for all output formats (and sizes respectively for that format) that are supported by a camera device.

This also contains the minimum frame durations and stall durations for each format/size combination that can be used to calculate effective frame rate when submitting multiple captures.

An instance of this object is available from CameraCharacteristics using the SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP key and the get(CameraCharacteristics.Key) method.

CameraCharacteristics characteristics = cameraManager.getCameraCharacteristics(cameraId);
 StreamConfigurationMap configs = characteristics.get(
         CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP);

Public Methods

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Added in API level 21

Check if this StreamConfigurationMap is equal to another StreamConfigurationMap.

Two vectors are only equal if and only if each of the respective elements is equal.

Parameters
obj the object to compare this instance with.
Returns
  • true if the objects were equal, false otherwise

public Size[] getHighResolutionOutputSizes (int format)

Added in API level 23

Get a list of supported high resolution sizes, which cannot operate at full BURST_CAPTURE rate.

This includes all output sizes that cannot meet the 20 fps frame rate requirements for the BURST_CAPTURE capability. This does not include the stall duration, so for example, a JPEG or RAW16 output resolution with a large stall duration but a minimum frame duration that's above 20 fps will still be listed in the regular getOutputSizes(int) list. All the sizes on this list are still guaranteed to operate at a rate of at least 10 fps, not including stall duration.

For a device that does not support the BURST_CAPTURE capability, this list will be null, since resolutions in the getOutputSizes(int) list are already not guaranteed to meet >= 20 fps rate requirements. For a device that does support the BURST_CAPTURE capability, this list may be empty, if all supported resolutions meet the 20 fps requirement.

Returns
  • an array of supported slower high-resolution sizes, or null if the BURST_CAPTURE capability is not supported

public Range[]<Integer> getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges ()

Added in API level 21

Get a list of supported high speed video recording FPS ranges.

When REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO is supported in REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES, this method will list the supported high speed video FPS range configurations. Application can then use getHighSpeedVideoSizesFor(Range) to query available sizes for one of returned FPS range.

To enable high speed video recording, application must create a constrained create high speed capture session via createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession(List, CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler), and submit a CaptureRequest list created by createHighSpeedRequestList(CaptureRequest) to this session. The application must select the video size from this method and FPS range from getHighSpeedVideoFpsRangesFor(Size) to configure the constrained high speed session and generate the high speed request list. For example, if the application intends to do high speed recording, it can select one FPS range reported by this method, query the video sizes corresponding to this FPS range by getHighSpeedVideoSizesFor(Range) and use one of reported sizes to create a high speed capture session. Note that for the use case of multiple output streams, application must select one unique size from this method to use (e.g., preview and recording streams must have the same size). Otherwise, the high speed session creation will fail. Once the high speed capture session is created, the application can set the FPS range in the recording request lists via createHighSpeedRequestList(CaptureRequest).

The FPS ranges reported by this method will have below characteristics:

  • The fpsMin and fpsMax will be a multiple 30fps.
  • The fpsMin will be no less than 30fps, the fpsMax will be no less than 120fps.
  • At least one range will be a fixed FPS range where fpsMin == fpsMax.
  • For each fixed FPS range, there will be one corresponding variable FPS range [30, fps_max]. These kinds of FPS ranges are suitable for preview-only use cases where the application doesn't want the camera device always produce higher frame rate than the display refresh rate.
  • Returns
    • an array of supported high speed video recording FPS ranges The upper bound of returned ranges is guaranteed to be larger or equal to 120.

    public Range[]<Integer> getHighSpeedVideoFpsRangesFor (Size size)

    Added in API level 21

    Get the frame per second ranges (fpsMin, fpsMax) for input high speed video size.

    See getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges() for how to enable high speed recording.

    The FPS ranges reported in this method must not be used to setup capture requests that are submitted to unconstrained capture sessions, or it will result in IllegalArgumentExceptions.

    See getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges() for the characteristics of the returned FPS ranges.

    Parameters
    size one of the sizes returned by getHighSpeedVideoSizes()
    Returns
    • an array of supported high speed video recording FPS ranges The upper bound of returned ranges is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 120.
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if input size does not exist in the return value of getHighSpeedVideoSizes

    public Size[] getHighSpeedVideoSizes ()

    Added in API level 21

    Get a list of supported high speed video recording sizes.

    When REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO is supported in REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES, this method will list the supported high speed video size configurations. All the sizes listed will be a subset of the sizes reported by getOutputSizes(int) for processed non-stalling formats (typically PRIVATE YUV_420_888, etc.)

    To enable high speed video recording, application must create a constrained create high speed capture session via createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession(List, CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler), and submit a CaptureRequest list created by createHighSpeedRequestList(CaptureRequest) to this session. The application must select the video size from this method and FPS range from getHighSpeedVideoFpsRangesFor(Size) to configure the constrained high speed session and generate the high speed request list. For example, if the application intends to do high speed recording, it can select the maximum size reported by this method to create high speed capture session. Note that for the use case of multiple output streams, application must select one unique size from this method to use (e.g., preview and recording streams must have the same size). Otherwise, the high speed session creation will fail. Once the size is selected, application can get the supported FPS ranges by getHighSpeedVideoFpsRangesFor(Size), and use these FPS ranges to setup the recording request lists via createHighSpeedRequestList(CaptureRequest).

    Returns
    • an array of supported high speed video recording sizes

    public Size[] getHighSpeedVideoSizesFor (Range<Integer> fpsRange)

    Added in API level 21

    Get the supported video sizes for an input high speed FPS range.

    See getHighSpeedVideoSizes() for how to enable high speed recording.

    Parameters
    fpsRange one of the FPS range returned by getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges()
    Returns
    • An array of video sizes to create high speed capture sessions for high speed streaming use cases.
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if input FPS range does not exist in the return value of getHighSpeedVideoFpsRanges

    public final int[] getInputFormats ()

    All image formats returned by this function will be defined in either ImageFormat or in PixelFormat (and there is no possibility of collision).

    Returns
    • an array of integer format

    public Size[] getInputSizes (int format)

    Added in API level 23

    Get the supported input sizes for this input format.

    The format must have come from getInputFormats(); otherwise null is returned.

    Added in API level 21

    Get the image format output formats in this stream configuration.

    All image formats returned by this function will be defined in either ImageFormat or in PixelFormat (and there is no possibility of collision).

    Formats listed in this array are guaranteed to return true if queried with isOutputSupportedFor(int).

    Returns
    • an array of integer format

    public long getOutputMinFrameDuration (Class<T> klass, Size size)

    Added in API level 21

    Get the minimum frame duration for the class/size combination (in nanoseconds).

    This assumes a the klass is set up to use PRIVATE. For user-defined formats, use getOutputMinFrameDuration(int, Size).

    klass should be one of the ones which is supported by isOutputSupportedFor(Class).

    size should be one of the ones returned by getOutputSizes(int).

    This should correspond to the frame duration when only that stream is active, with all processing (typically in android.*.mode) set to either OFF or FAST.

    When multiple streams are used in a request, the minimum frame duration will be max(individual stream min durations).

    For devices that do not support manual sensor control (REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_MANUAL_SENSOR), this function may return 0.

    Parameters
    klass a class which is supported by isOutputSupportedFor(Class) and has a non-empty array returned by getOutputSizes(Class)
    size an output-compatible size
    Returns
    • a minimum frame duration > 0 in nanoseconds, or 0 if the minimum frame duration is not available.
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if klass or size was not supported
    NullPointerException if size or klass was null

    public long getOutputMinFrameDuration (int format, Size size)

    Added in API level 21

    Get the minimum frame duration for the format/size combination (in nanoseconds).

    format should be one of the ones returned by getOutputFormats().

    size should be one of the ones returned by getOutputSizes(int).

    This should correspond to the frame duration when only that stream is active, with all processing (typically in android.*.mode) set to either OFF or FAST.

    When multiple streams are used in a request, the minimum frame duration will be max(individual stream min durations).

    For devices that do not support manual sensor control (REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_MANUAL_SENSOR), this function may return 0.

    Parameters
    format an image format from ImageFormat or PixelFormat
    size an output-compatible size
    Returns
    • a minimum frame duration > 0 in nanoseconds, or 0 if the minimum frame duration is not available.
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if format or size was not supported
    NullPointerException if size was null

    public Size[] getOutputSizes (Class<T> klass)

    Added in API level 21

    Get a list of sizes compatible with klass to use as an output.

    Some of the supported classes may support additional formats beyond PRIVATE; this function only returns sizes for PRIVATE. For example, ImageReader supports YUV_420_888 and PRIVATE, this method will only return the sizes for PRIVATE for ImageReader class.

    If a well-defined format such as NV21 is required, use getOutputSizes(int) instead.

    The klass should be a supported output, that querying #isOutputSupportedFor(Class) should return true.

    Parameters
    klass a non-null Class object reference
    Returns
    • an array of supported sizes for PRIVATE format, or null iff the klass is not a supported output.
    Throws
    NullPointerException if klass was null

    public Size[] getOutputSizes (int format)

    Added in API level 21

    Get a list of sizes compatible with the requested image format.

    The format should be a supported format (one of the formats returned by getOutputFormats()).

    As of API level 23, the getHighResolutionOutputSizes(int) method can be used on devices that support the BURST_CAPTURE capability to get a list of high-resolution output sizes that cannot operate at the preferred 20fps rate. This means that for some supported formats, this method will return an empty list, if all the supported resolutions operate at below 20fps. For devices that do not support the BURST_CAPTURE capability, all output resolutions are listed through this method.

    Parameters
    format an image format from ImageFormat or PixelFormat
    Returns
    • an array of supported sizes, or null if the format is not a supported output

    public long getOutputStallDuration (Class<T> klass, Size size)

    Added in API level 21

    Get the stall duration for the class/size combination (in nanoseconds).

    This assumes a the klass is set up to use PRIVATE. For user-defined formats, use getOutputMinFrameDuration(int, Size).

    klass should be one of the ones with a non-empty array returned by getOutputSizes(Class).

    size should be one of the ones returned by getOutputSizes(Class).

    See getOutputStallDuration(int, Size) for a definition of a stall duration.

    Parameters
    klass a class which is supported by isOutputSupportedFor(Class) and has a non-empty array returned by getOutputSizes(Class)
    size an output-compatible size
    Returns
    • a minimum frame duration >= 0 in nanoseconds
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if klass or size was not supported
    NullPointerException if size or klass was null

    public long getOutputStallDuration (int format, Size size)

    Added in API level 21

    Get the stall duration for the format/size combination (in nanoseconds).

    format should be one of the ones returned by getOutputFormats().

    size should be one of the ones returned by getOutputSizes(int).

    A stall duration is how much extra time would get added to the normal minimum frame duration for a repeating request that has streams with non-zero stall.

    For example, consider JPEG captures which have the following characteristics:

    • JPEG streams act like processed YUV streams in requests for which they are not included; in requests in which they are directly referenced, they act as JPEG streams. This is because supporting a JPEG stream requires the underlying YUV data to always be ready for use by a JPEG encoder, but the encoder will only be used (and impact frame duration) on requests that actually reference a JPEG stream.
    • The JPEG processor can run concurrently to the rest of the camera pipeline, but cannot process more than 1 capture at a time.

    In other words, using a repeating YUV request would result in a steady frame rate (let's say it's 30 FPS). If a single JPEG request is submitted periodically, the frame rate will stay at 30 FPS (as long as we wait for the previous JPEG to return each time). If we try to submit a repeating YUV + JPEG request, then the frame rate will drop from 30 FPS.

    In general, submitting a new request with a non-0 stall time stream will not cause a frame rate drop unless there are still outstanding buffers for that stream from previous requests.

    Submitting a repeating request with streams (call this S) is the same as setting the minimum frame duration from the normal minimum frame duration corresponding to S, added with the maximum stall duration for S.

    If interleaving requests with and without a stall duration, a request will stall by the maximum of the remaining times for each can-stall stream with outstanding buffers.

    This means that a stalling request will not have an exposure start until the stall has completed.

    This should correspond to the stall duration when only that stream is active, with all processing (typically in android.*.mode) set to FAST or OFF. Setting any of the processing modes to HIGH_QUALITY effectively results in an indeterminate stall duration for all streams in a request (the regular stall calculation rules are ignored).

    The following formats may always have a stall duration:

    The following formats will never have a stall duration:

    All other formats may or may not have an allowed stall duration on a per-capability basis; refer to android.request.availableCapabilities for more details.

    See android.sensor.frameDuration for more information about calculating the max frame rate (absent stalls).

    Parameters
    format an image format from ImageFormat or PixelFormat
    size an output-compatible size
    Returns
    • a stall duration >= 0 in nanoseconds
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if format or size was not supported
    NullPointerException if size was null

    public final int[] getValidOutputFormatsForInput (int inputFormat)

    Added in API level 23

    Get the image format output formats for a reprocessing input format.

    When submitting a CaptureRequest with an input Surface of a given format, the only allowed target outputs of the CaptureRequest are the ones with a format listed in the return value of this method. Including any other output Surface as a target will throw an IllegalArgumentException. If no output format is supported given the input format, an empty int[] will be returned.

    All image formats returned by this function will be defined in either ImageFormat or in PixelFormat (and there is no possibility of collision).

    Formats listed in this array are guaranteed to return true if queried with isOutputSupportedFor(int).

    Returns
    • an array of integer format

    public int hashCode ()

    Added in API level 21

    Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which equals(Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

    Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

    See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

    Returns
    • this object's hash code.

    public boolean isOutputSupportedFor (int format)

    Added in API level 21

    Determine whether or not output surfaces with a particular user-defined format can be passed createCaptureSession.

    This method determines that the output format is supported by the camera device; each output surface target may or may not itself support that format. Refer to the class which provides the surface for additional documentation.

    Formats for which this returns true are guaranteed to exist in the result returned by getOutputSizes(int).

    Parameters
    format an image format from either ImageFormat or PixelFormat
    Returns
    Throws
    IllegalArgumentException if the image format was not a defined named constant from either ImageFormat or PixelFormat

    public boolean isOutputSupportedFor (Surface surface)

    Added in API level 21

    Determine whether or not the surface in its current state is suitable to be included in a capture session as an output.

    Not all surfaces are usable with the CameraDevice, and not all configurations of that surface are compatible. Some classes that provide the surface are compatible with the CameraDevice in general (see isOutputSupportedFor(Class), but it is the caller's responsibility to put the surface into a state that will be compatible with the CameraDevice.

    Reasons for a surface being specifically incompatible might be:

    • Using a format that's not listed by getOutputFormats()
    • Using a format/size combination that's not listed by getOutputSizes(int)
    • The surface itself is not in a state where it can service a new producer.

    Surfaces from flexible sources will return true even if the exact size of the Surface does not match a camera-supported size, as long as the format (or class) is supported and the camera device supports a size that is equal to or less than 1080p in that format. If such as Surface is used to create a capture session, it will have its size rounded to the nearest supported size, below or equal to 1080p. Flexible sources include SurfaceView, SurfaceTexture, and ImageReader.

    This is not an exhaustive list; see the particular class's documentation for further possible reasons of incompatibility.

    Parameters
    surface a non-null Surface object reference
    Returns
    • true if this is supported, false otherwise
    Throws
    NullPointerException if surface was null
    IllegalArgumentException if the Surface endpoint is no longer valid

    public static boolean isOutputSupportedFor (Class<T> klass)

    Added in API level 21

    Determine whether or not output streams can be configured with a particular class as a consumer.

    The following list is generally usable for outputs:

    Generally speaking this means that creating a Surface from that class may provide a producer endpoint that is suitable to be used with createCaptureSession(List, CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler).

    Since not all of the above classes support output of all format and size combinations, the particular combination should be queried with isOutputSupportedFor(Surface).

    Parameters
    klass a non-null Class object reference
    Returns
    • true if this class is supported as an output, false otherwise
    Throws
    NullPointerException if klass was null

    public String toString ()

    Added in API level 21

    Return this StreamConfigurationMap as a string representation.
