The Camera library abstracts the complexity of interfacing with a camera connected to the target board.
The Camera library uses the Sensor service, which is a process that interacts directly with the camera hardware. The library's high-level C API provides applications with an interface to communicate with a camera. This guide describes the Camera library and how to work with the API functions.
This guide is intended for audiences who are familiar with C code. If you plan to display video from a camera, you should be familiar working with the Screen Graphics Subsystem.
