The input to setOrientation is angle clockwise from the sensor
orientation, while the EXIF output values were swapped for 90
and 270 degrees.
From the EXIF spec:
6 = The 0th row is the visual right-hand side of the image, and the
0th column is the visual top.
8 = The 0th row is the visual left-hand side of the image, and the
0th column is the visual bottom.
6 should be 90 degrees clockwise, while 8 should 270 degrees clockwise.
Fix this.
As Android defines the rotation as the clockwise angle by which the
image needs to be rotated to appear in the correct orientation on the
device screen, the previous values would be correct if the input angle
was from the camera orientation. Since the correct input should be the
requested JPEG orientation, these new values are the correct ones.

libcamera
===========
**A complex camera support library for Linux, Android, and ChromeOS**
Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing
operations. Control of the processing is based on advanced algorithms that must
run on a programmable processor. This has traditionally been implemented in a
dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices algorithms have been moved
to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the boundary between camera devices and
Linux often left the user with no other option than a vendor-specific
closed-source solution.
To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started
collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that will be
open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP. libcamera was born
out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to Linux-based
systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android.

Getting Started
---------------
To fetch the sources, build and install:
::
git clone git://linuxtv.org/libcamera.git
cd libcamera
meson build
ninja -C build install
Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following Debian/Ubuntu packages are required for building libcamera.
Other distributions may have differing package names:
A C++ toolchain: [required]
Either {g++, clang}
Meson Build system: [required]
meson (>= 0.51) ninja-build pkg-config
If your distribution doesn't provide a recent enough version of meson,
you can install or upgrade it using pip3.
.. code::
pip3 install --user meson
pip3 install --user --upgrade meson
for the libcamera core: [required]
python3-yaml python3-ply python3-jinja2
for IPA module signing: [required]
libgnutls28-dev openssl
for the Raspberry Pi IPA: [optional]
libboost-dev
Support for Raspberry Pi can be disabled through the meson
'pipelines' option to avoid this dependency.
for device hotplug enumeration: [optional]
libudev-dev
for documentation: [optional]
python3-sphinx doxygen graphviz
for gstreamer: [optional]
libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
for cam: [optional]
libevent-dev
for qcam: [optional]
qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5widgets5 qttools5-dev-tools libtiff-dev
for tracing with lttng: [optional]
lttng-ust-dev python3-jinja2
Using GStreamer plugin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use GStreamer plugin from source tree, set the following environment so that
GStreamer can find it.
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(pwd)/build/src/gstreamer
The debugging tool `gst-launch-1.0` can be used to construct and pipeline and test
it. The following pipeline will stream from the camera named "Camera 1" onto the
default video display element on your system.
.. code::
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc camera-name="Camera 1" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
