Image Processing --> Bayer12 to JPEG

[michael_irsfeld]

Hey Community,
I'm very new to programming the iMX6, so I hope you can help me. I use the Toradex Apalis iMX6Quad Board. On the parallel camera ports, I use the 16-bit generic data Input to connect a camera with 1080p and Bayer12 data format.
I know that there is no hardware-transformation possible.
So what I want to do:
I want to get a jpeg Image. My first intension was to transformate raw data to another data format by software, so that i could use the Hardware accelleration to create a jpeg file.

Is that possible? And what are the steps I have to do? How i mentioned this is a very new thematic for me, so I'm thankful for any help or advise that you can give to me!

Thanks Michael

this is reply from IPU expert:

"IPU can receive bayer format only as generic data. IPU can't process bayer format and so this bayer data (captured as generic data) must be handled by SW.

We don't have support for any convertor. I would recomend you to check FFMPEG to make this conversion by SW, but I've never tried it."
