STRUCT IPU3_UAPI_AE_CONFIG(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct ipu3_uapi_ae_config — literally just "AE config", that's the whole name bestie 🎀 and yeah, we're in the Kernel API Manual today, get comfy ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the shape of it, no cap, copy it exactly:

struct ipu3_uapi_ae_config {
    struct ipu3_uapi_ae_grid_config grid_cfg;
    struct ipu3_uapi_ae_weight_elem weights[IPU3_UAPI_AE_WEIGHTS];
    struct ipu3_uapi_ae_ccm ae_ccm;
 };

three members, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• grid_cfg — this one's the config for the auto exposure statistics grid. go look at struct ipu3_uapi_ae_grid_config for the deets 👀 and here's the tea: Imgu did not support output auto exposure statistics, so you can honestly just ignore this configuration and use the RGB table in the auto-whitebalance statistics instead. not me telling you to skip a whole member 😭 but fr fr, that's what it says.
• weights — IPU3_UAPI_AE_WEIGHTS is based on 32x24 blocks in the grid 🌸 each grid cell has a corresponding value in the weights LUT called a grid value, and the global histogram gets updated based on that grid value and the pixel value. so like, weights are lowkey the main characters here 👑
• ae_ccm — Color convert matrix pre-processing block 💅 that's it, that's the member.

---

🌈 Description 🌈

the whole point, in one line: calculate AE grid from image resolution, resample ae weights ⭐

like, that's genuinely the entire description. short and iconic, we respect it 🫶

and then, bestie… the friend group is huge. every single one of these, in order, zero skips 💀

ngl if you read all of those in one sitting you're built different 🔥 hydrate first tho 🍓

sign-off time, bestie 💜 this little page came from the kernel file ./drivers/staging/media/ipu3/i... (that's the path as printed, truncated and all, I don't make the rules 🙈), dated October 2026, and it's page struct ipu3_uapi_ae_config(9) of the Kernel API Manual. go forth and configure your AE grid, you absolute icon 👑✨
