The PiCamera can be used as a low-cost and widely accessible entropy source for RNG (random number generation) by calibrating camera settings to maximize noise (see the LavaRnd website for more details). Previously, developers could only disable the secondary YUV420 de-noise algorithms.
Per #565
'bayer_denoise': 1 << 10
can be added to theISP_BLOCKS
object so that it can be disabled via the PiCameraisp_blocks
parameter.To address the concerns from @6by9 about disrupting the image processing pipeline, disabling the Bayer de-noise ISP block would not stall it because image format is preserved, similar to the YUV420 de-noise algorithm.
