Android USB Camera(2) : UVC协议分析

时间:2022-01-01 15:59:12

1. 前言

本文对USB的功能类协议USB Video Class(UVC)的具体设计进行介绍,但不会介绍USB基础协议,所以需要对USB基础协议有一定的了解,包括USB四大描述符以及四种传输方式。分析usb协议的重点在于描述符,这里将以实际设备的描述符为线索,贯穿、分析uvc协议。

2. UVC功能概述

UVC设备都是多Interface设备,这点同普通的u盘不同。UVC设备最起码有两个Interface,VideoControl(VC)Interface和VideoStream(VS) Interface; 这也是最常见的UVC设备。 Spec明确要求一个具有可用的,具有实际UVC功能的设备要有一个VC Interface,一个或多个VS Interface。

VCInterface用于进行配置,操控,设置UVC设备进入不同的功能状态,而VSInterface则负责视频数据流的传输;完整的UVC功能需依赖VS,VC Interfaces的配合才能实现。

3. IAD以及Interfaces

UVC功能需要使用一个VC Interface和一个或多个VS Interface的配合。Spec明确要求UVC设备必须使用一个Interface Association Descriptor(IAD)来描述这个包含了VC和VS的Interfaces集合。

此外USB协议中并没有专门朝设备索取IAD的命令,IAD需作为Configuration描述符的一部分发送给Host端。在该Configuration描述符的排列顺序中,IAD要放在它所包含的VC,VS描述符之前,且同一个IAD中所有的VC,VS Interface的Interface number必须连贯。

可以看到我所使用的uvc设备包含两个IAD,第一个IAD是视频输入设备,也就是摄像头。第二个IAD是音频输入设备,也就是麦克风,暂时忽略这个IAD。重点分析第一个IAD,它包含了两个Interface,一个VC Interface和一个VS Interface

4. VC Interface

VC主要用于控制UVC功能中的Units和Terminals,通过对不同的Units和Terminals发下不同的指令,从而影响UVC设备的当前工作状态;Host端发下的所有对UVC设备的操纵控制命令都是经由此Interface完成的

这个设备包含了一个Processing Unit、一个Input Terminal和Output Terminal,VC Interface需要对它们下发不同的命令,为此VC Interface需要包含一个控制端点(强制性要求),它使用的就是每个USB设备中默认的端点0。

另外一个Interrupt端点则是可选的,用来返回或通知Host端当前的UVC设备内部状态有变化。大部分情况下,一个UVC设备的VC Interface不需一定要实现此端点,但一旦UVC设备需要实现某些特定feature时,Spec会强制性要求实现该interrupt端点。

5. UVC设备内的各种Entity

UVC的Spec在制定时考虑到了诸多不同UVC设备可能存在的特性,为保证Spec具有最大范围的适用性和兼容性,将UVC设备内可能存在的每个功能模块划分为逻辑意义上的功能单元(Entity),并要求具体UVC设备的开发者必须为每个Entity指定ID号,且该ID号能唯一标识某一指定的功能单元,以便Host端的UVC驱动能依此对设备内不同的功能单元进行操作和配置。

Entity粗略可划分为Unit,Terminal两种。这都是逻辑意义上的划分,它们对应UVC设备内的某个功能单元。

5.1 Unit

Unit可以理解为构建出UVC设备功能的各功能单元,多个Unit按照一定的规则连接后就是一个完整的UVC功能设备。Spec规定Unit有一个或多个入口,一个出口;也就是说可以有多个Unit或Terminal作为一个Unit的输入源头,而数据在流经Unit后仅能作为其他Unit或Terminal的一个输入源头。

Spec中定义了三种Unit:Selector Unit (SU),Processing Unit (PU),Extension Unit (EU)。

D13 = 0 no - White Balance Component, Auto 
D14 = 0 no - Digital Multiplier 
D15 = 0 no - Digital Multiplier Limit 
iProcessing : 0x00

Processing Unit则代表了对采集的数据进行处理的单元,负责对采集到的图像特性进行调整设置,当Host端要求设定这些Processing Unit负责范围内的功能特性时,Processing Unit作为指定的命令响应者就需要对之进行响应和调整。

Spec定义中要求PU单元负责响应Host端对如下图像特性方面的设置调整要求(在该UVC设备确实支持这些特性可变,可供设置的前提下)

5.2 Terminal

Terminal是指整个UVC功能的入口和出口,逻辑意义上讲Terminal只有一个出口或者入口,它要么代表整个UVC功能的数据输入点,要么代表数据在流经UVC功能内部的各Unit功能单元后的最终流入点。

Spec中定义了两种Terminal:Input Terminal,Output Terminal。

D19 = 0 no - Reserved 
D20 = 0 no - Reserved 
D21 = 0 no - Reserved 
D22 = 0 no - Reserved 
D23 = 0 no – Reserved 

Input Terminal可以理解为整个UVC功能的数据源头,它仅有一个outPin,可以连接到其他Unit的Input Pin作为该Unit的输入源。

bDescriptorType: 0x24

wTerminalType: 0x0101 = (TT_STREAMING) 
bAssocTerminal: 0x00 
bSourceID: 0x02 
iTerminal: 0x00 

Output Terminal则可以理解为当图像数据流程UVC设备内部的整个处理流程后的输出点,它仅有一个Input Pin, 整个UVC处理流程上的最后一个Unit会将它的Output Pin与Output Terminal的Input Pin连接在一起。

Android USB Camera(2) : UVC协议分析

通过如上描述符所获得的信息,我们可以看出该USB Camera大致有三个逻辑功能意义上的Entity:CT(代表硬件上的图像数据采集源,Sensor),PU(代表Sensor中可对采集所得图像数据进行加工的功能单元),OT(代表实际中USB模块的的ISO In端点),并无SU单元来控制图像数据采集源的切换和选择(只有一个输入源),此外也没有对采集所得的数据进行个性化处理的功能,故也没有EU单元的存在(无EU描述符)。

6. VS Interface

VS Interface则专注与负责传输UVC设备的Video数据到Host端。若一UVC设备支持n种格式的Video数据,则它需要实现n个VS Interface,每个Interface对应一种专门的数据格式;而每个VSInterface则必须包含一个ISO或bulk端点来传输Video数据,一个可选的bulk端点专门用于传输静态图片数据(在实现了第三种静态图片拍摄机制的前提下)。

可以看出这个设备只支持一种视频格式”MJPEG”,所以它只有一个VS Interface,而同一种视频格式下有很多参数可以调整,比如说图像分辨率,每秒的帧速率等。其参数组合信息就是紧跟在Format Type Descriptor之后的Frame Type Descriptor。

在采用不同的参数组合时,UVC设备进行数据传输时,所需占用的USB数据带宽显然有很大的不同;因此一个VS Interface下需要有多个setting,每个settnig对应一个固定的Video参数设置组合,也就对应了一个固定参数值的Video数据,该setting下每秒要传输的帧数(帧速率),图像分辨率等均固定,进而对USB的带宽要求也固定。

此外,对于每个VS Interface来讲,必须实现setting0,且setting0不代表任何实际的Video流和参数组合,当指定setting0时就是要求UVC设备暂停数据传输,放弃对USB带宽的占用。

7. 总结

UVC同MSC一样,系USB框架下的功能类协议,但却与MSC有着较大差异。MSC功能采用Control+Bulk传输完成,其枚举流程,描述符配置较为清晰,控制传输阶段简单,定义的类功能控制命令较少。而BULK传输阶段则较为复杂繁琐,出错机制,续传机制等要求较为严格。

而UVC则刚好相反,它采用Control+ISO传输机制实现(BULK和INTR机制为可选特性),其枚举流程,描述符配置较为复杂,繁琐,定义了诸多的类控制命令,Entity等;而具体的数据传输阶段即ISO传输较为简单。
