Camera Metadata XML

Introduction

This is a set of scripts to manipulate the camera metadata in an XML form.

Generated Files

Many files can be generated from XML, such as the documentation (html/pdf), C code, Java code, and even XML itself (as a sanity check).

  • XML Lint - Validates XML against XSD schema
