STRUCT IPU3_UAPI_XNR3_ALPHA_PARAMS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 struct ipu3_uapi_xnr3_alpha_params(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so you found the page for struct ipu3_uapi_xnr3_alpha_params, and it's literally the Extreme noise reduction v3 alpha tuning parameters struct?? like yes, XNR3 is out here doing the absolute most and this lil struct is the alpha-tuning portion of the vibe. it lives in the kernel API manual (section 9), and we're gonna go through it together, no gatekeeping 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ipu3_uapi_xnr3_alpha_params — Extreme noise reduction v3 alpha tuning parameters. that's it, that's the whole name, and honestly it ate.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole struct, exactly as it is, don't touch it:

struct ipu3_uapi_xnr3_alpha_params {
    __u32 y0;
    __u32 u0;
    __u32 v0;
    __u32 ydiff;
    __u32 udiff;
    __u32 vdiff;
 };

six __u32 fields. that's the entire population. iconic minimalism tbh 🦋

🫶 Members 🫶

so let's meet the cast, one by one:

  • y0 — Sigma for Y range similarity in dark area. bestie, it's the dark-area similarity sigma for Y. yes. exactly that. 🌙
  • u0 — Sigma for U range similarity in dark area. same energy as y0 but for U, and yes it's still about the dark area.
  • v0 — Sigma for V range similarity in dark area. the third of the dark-area sigma trio, this one's V's turn 💜
  • ydiff — Sigma difference for Y between bright area and dark area. so this one is the difference in sigma between bright and dark for Y, lowkey the glow-up counterpart to y0. ☀️
  • udiff — Sigma difference for U between bright area and dark area. same little difference situation, but for U.
  • vdiff — Sigma difference for V between bright area and dark area. and V closes out the diff trio, no cap. 💅

so like, three "dark area sigma" numbers and three "bright minus dark sigma difference" numbers. the symmetry?? we love to see it 🎀
