focal distance of a captured image in camerax

[Kumar Ranjan Kamila]

In camera 2 we can focal distance (not focal length which is constant for each camera)

    fun onImageCaptureCompleted(totalCaptureResult: TotalCaptureResult?) {

        var flashState = totalCaptureResult?.get(CaptureResult.FLASH_STATE)
        var flashMode = totalCaptureResult?.get(CaptureResult.FLASH_MODE)
        var lensFocalDistance = totalCaptureResult?.get(CaptureResult.LENS_FOCUS_DISTANCE)
        var lensFocalLength = totalCaptureResult?.get(CaptureResult.LENS_FOCAL_LENGTH)

    }

but can someone tell , how to achieve that in camera X ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for the question and sorry for the late reply.

To get the focus distance, there's an experimental feature called Camera2Interop, which allows users to get Camera2 related information while using CameraX. LENS_FOCUS_DISTANCE can be gotten from the capture callback similar to Camera2. The code may look like:

// Create a capture callback that gets the focus distance.

val captureCallback = object : CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback() {

    override fun onCaptureCompleted(

        session: CameraCaptureSession,

        request: CaptureRequest,

        result: TotalCaptureResult

    ) {

        val lensFocusDistance = result.get(CaptureResult.LENS_FOCUS_DISTANCE)

    }

}

// Use Camera2Interop to extend a use case builder with the capture callback

Camera2Interop.Extender(useCaseBuilder).setSessionCaptureCallback(captureCallback)

// Build the use case and bind it.

cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(lifecycleOwner, cameraSelector, useCaseBuilder.build())

Hii , Tony . Is there any other way specific to cameraX api to get lens focal distance , not using camera2interop ??

[tonyt...@google.com]

Unfortunately, there's no such API currently provides that information.

Okay , thanks Tony for the above solution . It helped a lot .
