libcamera will soon turn one year old and keeps advancing in its purpose to provide a complete userspace camera stack for Linux-based systems.Since its conception and initial developments, libcamera has progressed to support an increasing number of platforms and devices, has expanded its feature to provide integration in other Linux-kernel-based operating systems (such as Android and ChromeOS). It now allows integration of 3A algorithms while still trying to provide an easy to grasp API for camera applications.As libcamera is reaching feature stability, it has entered the API review and stabilisation phase and needs feedback from application developers and camera vendors. This talk is part of our call for review, starting with a presentation of the libcamera features, architecture and API (based on practical examples), and then moving to a discussion with the audience to gather feedback.
