Driver-specific V4L2 controls
-----------------------------
The uvcvideo driver implements the following UVC-specific controls:
``V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT (struct)``
This control determines the region of interest (ROI). ROI is a
rectangular area represented by a struct :c:type:`v4l2_rect`. The
rectangle is in global sensor coordinates using pixel units. It is
independent of the field of view, not impacted by any cropping or
scaling.
Use ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MIN_VAL`` and ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MAX_VAL`` to query
the range of rectangle sizes.
Setting a ROI allows the camera to optimize the capture for the region.
The value of ``V4L2_CID_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO`` control determines
the detailed behavior.
An example of use of this control, can be found in the:
`Chrome OS USB camera HAL.
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/refs/heads/release-R121-15699.B/camera/hal/usb/>`
``V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO (bitmask)``
This determines which, if any, on-board features should track to the
Region of Interest specified by the current value of
``V4L2_CID_UVD__REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT``.
Max value is a mask indicating all supported Auto Controls.

* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_EXPOSURE``
- Setting this bit causes automatic exposure to track the region of
interest instead of the whole image.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_IRIS``
- Setting this bit causes automatic iris to track the region of interest
instead of the whole image.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE``
- Setting this bit causes automatic white balance to track the region
of interest instead of the whole image.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_FOCUS``
- Setting this bit causes automatic focus adjustment to track the region
of interest instead of the whole image.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_FACE_DETECT``
- Setting this bit causes automatic face detection to track the region of
interest instead of the whole image.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_DETECT_AND_TRACK``
- Setting this bit enables automatic face detection and tracking. The
current value of ``V4L2_CID_REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT`` may be updated by
the driver.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_IMAGE_STABILIZATION``
- Setting this bit enables automatic image stabilization. The
current value of ``V4L2_CID_REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT`` may be updated by
the driver.
* - ``V4L2_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO_HIGHER_QUALITY``
- Setting this bit enables automatically capture the specified region
with higher quality if possible.
