YUV422 Image Viewer

This article is more of an internal note. During development, we were looking for a tool to read the frame buffer we received from the FPGA. It turns out that YUView is a fantastic tool with great flexibility and is easy to install.

Installation

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install yuview

Run

YUView

Settings

After opening a YUV image, we need to manually set the file format to help YUView parse the image correctly.

• The width and height depend on the camera from which we are streaming. For example, the AC-IMX390 series uses 1920x1080 resolution.

• Additionally, the YUV format needs to be configured. We are targeting YUV422 (4:2:2), with an 8-bit color depth and UVYV packing order.
