libcamera is an open-source software library for image signal processors and embedded cameras on Linux distributions such as Android, ChromeOS and Ubuntu.[2][3][4][5] The developers describe libcamera as a continuation of V4L2.
Background
Nokia originally wanted to create a plugin based software project for camera support, but this was cancelled because they stopped development of Linux based smartphones.[6]
