MeteringPoint
public class MeteringPoint
A MeteringPoint is used to specify a region which can then be converted to sensor coordinate system for focus and metering purpose.
Conceptually, a MeteringPoint is a opaque handle to a metering point created by a MeteringPointFactory, for use when building a FocusMeteringAction. The coordinates of the point are specified by the application when creating points from the factory, and then the coordinates are converted into an internal representation stored by this class. Because of the nature of internal representation, the X and Y of the MeteringPoint is not publicly visible. These are for internal use only.
When a FocusMeteringAction is submitted via startFocusAndMetering, the MeteringPoint is converted to a point in the sensor coordinate system where it defines the center of a metering rectangle. If zoom is applied via CameraControl , it will set a crop region calculated by the zoom and the final coordinates will be mapped into the crop region. If not set, it is mapped to the sensor active array.
Besides defining the center point of the metering rectangle, there is also the size of the MeteringPoint. The size of the MeteringPoint ranges from 0 to 1.0. The size is the percentage of sensor width and height (or crop region width/height if crop region is set). See formula below:
Metering rectangle width = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.width Metering rectangle height = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.height
MeteringPoint has the same shape as the sensor array.

Size of the MeteringPoint width and height (ranging from 0 to 1). It is the percentage of the sensor width/height (or crop region width/height if crop region is set).
Crop region is set when zoom is set in CameraControl and it is the region inside the sensor active array and it defines the output region of the sensor. See formula below:
Metering rectangle width = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.width Metering rectangle height = size * sensorSizeOrCropRegion.height
