libcamera is an open-source software library for image signal processors and embedded cameras on Linux distributions such as Android, ChromeOS and Ubuntu.[3][4][5][6] The developers describe libcamera as a continuation of V4L2.
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.[7]
