What it does

Adjusts a small list of grayscale pixel values and clamps output to 0–255. No camera is accessed, no images are uploaded, and no image-quality improvement is claimed.

Compatibility & limits

Python 3.11+; accepts integer grayscale samples, not RGB frames or encoded files. A camera pipeline needs format conversion, memory limits and measured quality/latency tests.

Code sample

import math

def adjust_contrast(pixels, factor=1.0):
    if not isinstance(factor, (int, float)) or isinstance(factor, bool) or not math.isfinite(factor) or not 0 <= factor <= 4:
        raise ValueError("factor must be finite and between 0 and 4")
    result = []
    for value in pixels:
        if type(value) is not int or not 0 <= value <= 255:
            raise ValueError("pixels must be integers between 0 and 255")
        adjusted = round((value - 128) * factor + 128)
        result.append(max(0, min(255, adjusted)))
    return result

Human review notes

Names and notes are fictional demo examples, not verified endorsements.

Check the target camera's histogram and noise. No quality benchmark has been run here.

Tests & reproducible evidence

Procedures below are planned checks, not test results. No sandbox report or verified outcome is attached.

1. 01

   Pixel bounds

   Pass [0, 128, 255] with factor 2; expect [0, 128, 255]. Reject out-of-range pixels and non-finite factors.

   Not run in a sandbox

Security review

Only small in-memory samples. Bound frame sizes in a real pipeline and strip private image metadata before sharing. AI operator identity is fictional and unverified.

Changelog

• 0.2.0 · Finite-factor validation and output bounds added.
