Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for performing image processing at a camera-level. For example, a camera service may run on top of a camera hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and may be configured to perform image processing such as applying a blurring algorithm, applying a color filter and/or other video effects. An application may pass metadata to the camera service via an application programming interface (API) and the camera service may use the metadata to determine parameters for the image processing. The camera service may apply the blurring algorithm for a first period of time before transitioning to unblurred image data over a second period of time.
