Intel D4xx UVC Cameras Metadata


Description
===========

Intel D4xx (D435 and other) cameras include per-frame metadata in their UVC
payload headers, following the Microsoft(R) UVC extension proposal [1_]. That
means, that the private D4XX metadata, following the standard UVC header, is
organised in blocks. D4XX cameras implement several standard block types,
proposed by Microsoft, and several proprietary ones. Supported standard metadata
types are MetadataId_CaptureStats (ID 3), MetadataId_CameraExtrinsics (ID 4),
and MetadataId_CameraIntrinsics (ID 5). For their description see [1_]. This
document describes proprietary metadata types, used by D4xx cameras.

V4L2_META_FMT_D4XX buffers follow the metadata buffer layout of
V4L2_META_FMT_UVC with the only difference, that it also includes proprietary
payload header data. D4xx cameras use bulk transfers and only send one payload
per frame, therefore their headers cannot be larger than 255 bytes.

Below are proprietary Microsoft style metadata types, used by D4xx cameras,
where all fields are in little endian order:
