/**
* S5. Error management:
* S5. Cropping:
*
* Cropping of the full pixel array (for digital zoom and other use cases where
* a smaller FOV is desirable) is communicated through the
* ANDROID_SCALER_CROP_REGION setting. This is a per-request setting, and can
* change on a per-request basis, which is critical for implementing smooth
* digital zoom.
*
* The region is defined as a rectangle (x, y, width, height), with (x, y)
* describing the top-left corner of the rectangle. The rectangle is defined on
* the coordinate system of the sensor active pixel array, with (0,0) being the
* top-left pixel of the active pixel array. Therefore, the width and height
* cannot be larger than the dimensions reported in the
* ANDROID_SENSOR_ACTIVE_PIXEL_ARRAY static info field. The minimum allowed
* width and height are reported by the HAL through the
* ANDROID_SCALER_MAX_DIGITAL_ZOOM static info field, which describes the
* maximum supported zoom factor. Therefore, the minimum crop region width and
* height are:
*
* {width, height} =
* { floor(ANDROID_SENSOR_ACTIVE_PIXEL_ARRAY[0] /
* ANDROID_SCALER_MAX_DIGITAL_ZOOM),
* floor(ANDROID_SENSOR_ACTIVE_PIXEL_ARRAY[1] /
* ANDROID_SCALER_MAX_DIGITAL_ZOOM) }
*
* If the crop region needs to fulfill specific requirements (for example, it
* needs to start on even coordinates, and its width/height needs to be even),
* the HAL must do the necessary rounding and write out the final crop region
* used in the output result metadata. Similarly, if the HAL implements video
* stabilization, it must adjust the result crop region to describe the region
* actually included in the output after video stabilization is applied. In
* general, a camera-using application must be able to determine the field of
* view it is receiving based on the crop region, the dimensions of the image
* sensor, and the lens focal length.
*
* Since the crop region applies to all streams, which may have different aspect
* ratios than the crop region, the exact sensor region used for each stream may
* be smaller than the crop region. Specifically, each stream should maintain
* square pixels and its aspect ratio by minimally further cropping the defined
* crop region. If the stream's aspect ratio is wider than the crop region, the
* stream should be further cropped vertically, and if the stream's aspect ratio
* is narrower than the crop region, the stream should be further cropped
* horizontally.
*
* In all cases, the stream crop must be centered within the full crop region,
* and each stream is only either cropped horizontally or vertical relative to
* the full crop region, never both.
*
* For example, if two streams are defined, a 640x480 stream (4:3 aspect), and a
* 1280x720 stream (16:9 aspect), below demonstrates the expected output regions
* for each stream for a few sample crop regions, on a hypothetical 3 MP (2000 x
* 1500 pixel array) sensor.
*
* Crop region: (500, 375, 1000, 750) (4:3 aspect ratio)
*
* 640x480 stream crop: (500, 375, 1000, 750) (equal to crop region)
* 1280x720 stream crop: (500, 469, 1000, 562) (marked with =)
