Interesting, is it called the camera processing pipeline? Id be interested in reading some more and seeing if there is a foss project

I highly doubt there would be one. I imagine entire optics engineering departments are deployed to write that software. Phone manufacturers don’t usually write that software either; it’s more often than not licensed.

Fun fact, Sony’s phones break the camera software if you root them. I wonder how much of it is to protect their blobs.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
