Could you build this?

No Accurately reverse engineering proprietary smartphone computational photography pipelines (Xiaomi/Leica raw processing) requires deep reverse engineering of firmware, color science, and specialized image signal processing (ISP) expertise.

What it would actually take: Building this requires extracting and disassembling camera HALs and image processing libraries (e.g. IDA Pro/Ghidra) from Android ROMs, reverse engineering tone mapping curves, color science matrices, and 3D LUTs. The pipeline would be implemented in C++ or Rust using OpenCV, LibRaw, or custom shader pipelines (Vulkan/Metal). It demands specialized knowledge in computational photography, colorimetry, and binary reverse engineering.
