/**
* @class IDolWdrSensorMode
*
* Interface to the properties of a DOL WDR device.
*
* Returns the extended properties specific to a Digital Overlap (DOL)
* Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) extended sensor mode. DOL WDR is a multi-exposure technology
* that enables fusion of various exposures from a single frame to produce a WDR image.
*
* A DOL WDR RAW buffer contains different DOL exposures in an interleaved layout. DOL WDR
* supports two exposure (long and short) and three exposure (long, short and very short) schemes.
* These schemes are referred to as DOL-2 and DOL-3 respectively.
*
* Exposures are time staggered which leads to vertical blank period (VBP) rows being inserted
* in between various exposures. This scheme results in (N-1) sections of VBP rows for an N exposure
* DOL WDR frame.
*
* Each exposure is preceded by optical black (OB) rows.
*
* Each row of DOL WDR RAW interleaved frame starts with a few Line Info (LI) marker pixels.
* LI pixels distinguish the kind of row.
* Row types include:
* a. Long Exposure
* b. Short Exposure
* c. Very Short Exposure
* d. Vertical Blank Period
*
* For a DOL-2 exposure scheme, there is only one section of VBP rows. The data layout per exposure
* looks like this:
* Long exposure has OB rows, image rows, VBP rows.
* Short exposure has OB rows, VBP rows, image rows.
*
* The ordering of VBP rows changes across exposures but the count of VBP rows per exposure
* remains the same. The final interleaved DOL WDR RAW frame buffer is produced by interleaving
* each exposure's data on a per row basis in a round robin fashion across exposures.
*
* For a DOL-3 exposure scheme, there are two sections of VBP rows. For the sake of terminology
* these are referred to as VBP[0] and VBP[1]. The data layout per exposure looks like this:
* Long exposure has OB rows, image rows, VBP[0] rows, VBP[1] rows.
* Short exposure has OB rows, VBP[0] rows, image rows, VBP[1] rows.
* Very Short exposure has OB rows, VBP[0] rows, VBP[1] rows, image rows.
*
* Again, only the ordering of VBP[0] and VBP[1] rows changes across exposures but the count of
* VBP[0] and VBP[1] rows remains the same. Similar to the DOL-2 scheme, the final interleaved
* DOL WDR RAW frame buffer for DOL-3 scheme is produced by interleaving each exposure's data
* on a per row basis in a round robin fashion across exposures.
*
* This scheme can be extended to DOL-N exposures with (N-1) sections of VBP rows ranging from
* VBP[0] to VBP[N-2]. When considering the vertical blank period sections for exposure N,
* the rows of VBP[X] will come before the image data if X < N, otherwise they will come
* after the image data.
*
* Hence, a DOL-N RAW buffer would have different dimensions than the fused output
* WDR frame buffer. The resolution of the DOL-N RAW buffer is referred to as physical resolution.
*
* The set of properties for basic sensor modes is still applicable to DOL WDR sensor mode. Those
* properties are available through the ISensorMode interface. The only difference is that the
* resolution property provided by the ISensorMode interface for DOL WDR would be the size of the
* fused WDR frame. WDR fusion typically eliminates LI markers, OB rows and VBP rows and merges the
* individual exposures to create a frame that is smaller in height and width than the
* DOL WDR RAW interleaved frame.
*
* Following the LI marker pixels is the actual pixel data for each row. This data may include
* margin pixels on the left or right side of the row, which are generally used for filtering
* and cropped out of a fused DOL image. The width of these margin pixels can be queried by
* getLeftMarginWidth()/getRightMarginWidth().
