BNT - 7 SG Edition

In SGcam the modes are different:
• ID - Identical mode (colder)
• AU - Authentic mode (warmer) (for nature)
• DLS - Short for DLSR effect (low sat & soft shadows)
• 0.6 - Wide camera

ID mode has been reimagined and adapted from the ground up. - this profile fixes all issues with the white balance.

White balance has been extracted from original sensor filesystem & applied to the main sensor thanks to @JanusF5

AU mode is still present and note that it should be used in wildlife and/or in landscapes or exteriors for stunning results.

Selfie is pretty damm good also.

BNT-6.LMC [stb] - 19/4/24

Here's the changelog for the sixth release:

Enhanced night/indoor photo capabilities, simply toggle PRO for (optimal/more colder tone) results: colors have been tuned with a touch of warmth and lifted shadows.

Improved selfie camera performance in sharpness parameters, and colours overall are now amazing.

Strengthened shadow details and enhanced blue tones, perfect for capturing skies and natural blues.

Fine-tuned yellow tones for a more balanced color palette.

Addressed overflow of yellow color in images and adjusted green and red tones accordingly.

Improved representation of dark points for richer images.

Made adjustments for real-world and daylight usage, focusing on shadow details and color rendering.

Updated color saturation parameters for better sky and green tone reproduction.

Implemented and tuned tgRHv17_FINAL_(V7) ToneCurve for consistent shadow reproduction across various lighting conditions.

Reverted GammaCurve GMM A5 (CSeUs) parametric preset and improved shadow detail retention for a softer & more appealing image appearance.

Various color saturation adjustments for warmth, vibrancy, and saturation.

Enhanced warmth & black levels for subtler and punchier results, with adjustments to white balance offset and intensity.

BNT-5.LMC [stb] - 5/4/24

Fixed Selfie camera outputting green tint & improved colour with changes in Gamma and sat settings.

Defaulted back from beta2 *Hassel curv3 to GMM A4, with various adjustments to it, resulting in a more appealing look to it with less shadows overall.

Made the Pro toggle more aggressive (less saturation) resulting in better colours overall at night.

Various trials and errors in contrast levels in camera to make it perfectly balanced in night and daylight, in main and front lenses.

BNT-4.LMC [stb] - 3/3/24

[Selfie] Fix the output at 12.9 mp instead of 4 megapixels & misc changes in colour.

[Video] Use by default HD30 quality and
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) now works as good as the one from Stock.

[Viewfinder] Introduce Night Mode Colours. Activated through the PRO toggle.

[Viewfinder] Remove RES toggle and use by default 23.1 mp on back camera.

[Main] Huge improvement in colour output as to the last update in all modes.

[Main] Some misc tunning in contrast levels and Gamma Curve in patcher.

[Main] Boost Details and Noise Reduction quality in all back lens-profiles.

[Main] Patch completely a processing issue (rare artifacts present in the most NS-affected areas of an image) pending from the last update, which didn't fix it entirely.

[Other] Names of profiles are now different, but still, you will easily recognise them. No profiles have been removed.

And more...

BNT-3.LMC [stb] - 26/2/24

General fixes in photo artifacts ocurrent in some extreme situations.

Swich Colour Correction Model to HMX Mi Note 10 NEW* in main and in Wide lenses, fixing colour overflow in over-lighted & LLight scenarios.

BNT-2.LMC [stb] - 20/2/24

Mayor improvements in selfie by tunning main CCT colour correction parameters

Improved colour reproduction in main auth mode.

Tuned Gamma Curve with GMM A4 as base, with some manual adjustments made to shadows.

A lot of changes in contrast-related settings (dehaze.reg, black levels, lightning) to improve contrast, while maintaining colours.

Resolved selfie 1.4x zoom startup issue, changing it to default: *1.0

Fixed (weird) noise artifacts by disabling *Cheetah flag in dev.

Revert from [beta] main lens logic to *Rear (high quality).

Disabled RES upscale by default. Toggle is now visible in viewfinder.

BNT-1.LMC Initial Release - 11/2/24

High Dynamic Range now works perfecly due to LMC source being much more stable than AGC base.

Astrophotography also works.

B/w profile has been readded in petition of the community.

Details and noise reduction have improved a lot, when I say this, it's mainly noise reduction capabilities in LMC that make detail go to another level in optimisation when it comes to low light performance.

No need to enable any *PRO or *RES mode. All the modes have the exact same detail processing and pixel output, changing only the base colour philosophy.

Authentic, Toasted and DLSR modes have been added to base profiles: same colour philosophy as the ones found in AGC.

Now, due to characters' limit in profile's words, names have changed:

• Authentic 👉 AU📍
• Toasted 👉 Toast
• UW lens is now 0.6x
• B.w stays the same.
• DLSR stays the same.

Activate processing flag "Cheetah" in developer settings for a more aggressive highlight reduction.

Now, with LMC, selfies are reliant on a sole profile patcher in settings. No more profiles in selfies guys.

Selfies output with an 8 megapixel count. With natural but warm and vibrant tones, suitable for both, dark skinned people and pale skin toned persons.

Lenses/profiles are now set to be horizontally. This doesn't mean it lets you switch continuously, it can't. Period.

And more...

27.STB.AGC - 31/1/24

Swich Blacktop (leica b/w) profile for a DLSR profile on all lenses. (see notes)

- Improve colour luma noise [dark-areas].
- Decrease black contrast and tuned colour sat parameters in order to maintain colour accuracy after having made modifications in black level parameters.

Fixed HDR not working correcly in main:
- [changed model to *Bramble]
- [moved colour patcher configuration outside the specific profile to the general lens tuning].

- Edges are now more defined.
- Texture detail has been improved.
- All of this has almost no compromise on noise.

Increase CCT colour saturation to 1.1 in all three main-lens' profiles.

Fixed black viewfinder when recording video in wide lens. (Thanks to @ra1d333)

Swich zoom quick toggle to 4x in all three main profile in main lens.

Increase video bitrate in main and wide lenses to 48mb/s.

Reduce filesize compression to 95%.

Disable log cataloging in advanced settings.

And more...

26.STB.AGC - (rebased-AGC V11)

• First of all, profile names have changed in all lenses:
- BNT.TRUE is now *Authentic
- BNT.WARM is now *Toasted
- VINTG is now *Blacktop

Due to rebase over v11 we now get DTUX-like fast processing with higher quality frame bursts without compromising on quality.

[BASE]: drop support for macro camera in this AGC version for the moment.

Switch quick toggle fir zoom to 1.5x instead of 2x.

[BASE]: increase resolution to 31.5mp.

Tons of changes due to complete rebase, going from AGC V9 to V11 port. 👇

Polysharp Sharpen parameters have been tuned in order to improve front cam noise reduction and detail in the main camera.

Now selfies have a nice, soft texture to them which most peple will prefer due to maintained details, but reduced noise instead of hard-edge sharpening.

Main camera colours have been improved and a few HDR parameters have been modified due to some users having problems.

Tuned *black contrast and *contrast variables in main, uw and front facing cameras.

Noise reduction at night has been modified and adapted to this new cam version and because of hotfixes from source dev (bigkaka), now the variable *lut noise fix set to*4.0(ON) doesn't cause agressive noise reduction in low light scenarios.

Blacktop profile has been made available in all three lenses and tuned respectively for best colour resemblance of colour between lenses.

After a lot of testing was conducted, colour accuracy and representation has been improved, involving principally variables that affect colour contrast.

25.STB.AGC

Colours have been vastly improved in true mode and are now PXL-like (see comparison).

Night mode is now integrated in all three main lens profiles to get the most details at night.

HDR effect is now more aggressive and it doesn't generate problems in night with the gamenta colour-like artifacts.

Noise reduction at night now has now been imoroved and now details are clearer.

24.STB.AGC

Tuned Sabre Max Scale Factor to 30.0 in order to add definition.• Decrease warmness factor to *0.2 in BNT.TRUE

Enable AWB and switched model to Nubia Z5OU Tele OV64B in BNT.TRUE.

Tuned Luma Denoise Level factors to offset noise.

Swiched CCT colour transform to a more accurate model.

23.STB.AGC

Tuned Sabre Max Scale Factor to 30.0 in order to add definition.• Decrease warmness factor to *0.2 in BNT.TRUE

Enable AWB and switched model to Nubia Z5OU Tele OV64B in BNT.TRUE.

Tuned Luma Denoise Level factors to offset noise.

Swiched CCT colour transform to a more accurate model.

22.STB.AGC

Excessive contrast and Black level fixed. The problem had its origin in an error of exporting a beta configuration, instead of the public release.

Edge quality, Colour-correction, Aberration-correction, Noise quality and viewfinder noise reduction quality set to *true in developer settings.

In the prox updates, a new mode will be added, for night mode exclusively.

In the meantime, I am willing to maintain and improve the three main profiles but if you have a suggestion, I will leave a poll down below.

21.STB.AGC

Slightly faster capture due to changes in burst in dev settings. Even if it seems that it takes a lot of time taking the photo, it's not, it's just processing lag after the burst.

Enhanced details due to rework of Sabre Noise Tunning and Main tunning factor parameters in patcher -noise reduction is actually better now, even with more detail.

Switch CCTcolour transform model in TRUE profile.

Enable Postprocessing sharpness tunning factor to *0.1* in all three main camera profiles.

Contrast and Black Contrast, together with Dehaze Regulator#2 are now tuned to: *56,54*1.00, 1.00* in TRUE & WARM modes in main camera lens.

Added Postprocessing vignette factor to *0.98* in VINTG profile.

Contrast in VINTG mode is now set to *3.30*.

Disable "camera.ddepth_rear" and "camera.ddepth rear use opencl" variables in dev settings as they were causing problems in photo edge processing.

20.STB.AGC

Nuke external noise tuning model file using instead one included.

Reworked completely config over a different noise tuning model as a lot of people where having problems with it. Thanks for the feedback.

Tuned details a lot for extra detail in night lightning at expense of noise.

Disable Shasta Bracketing x5 as it was giving too much extra brightness to subject.

Misc adjustments and changes in sabre section and luma noise parameters.
