Can I access standard camera filters with Flash?

I know I can set filters with the filter classes in Flash:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filters/package-detail.html

But I think not only the Android devices have standard camera filters like these:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html

See graphic after "Common camera features sorted by the Android API Level in which they were introduced.":

FeatureAPI LevelDescription
Face Detection14Identify human faces within a picture and use them for focus, metering and white balance
Metering Areas14Specify one or more areas within an image for calculating white balance
Focus Areas14Set one or more areas within an image to use for focus
White Balance Lock14Stop or start automatic white balance adjustments
and so on

Can I in Flash find out all smartphone specific camera filters (or more common spoken features) and use them or have I to use the filter classes of flash and program them a second time although they are already implemented in the standard smartphone camera api?

you could always use pixelbender to recreate most of the bitmap filters that are available in photoshop and then process your camera output accordingly

My aim was to make an smartphone os independent photo and filter app.

I read here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/847262 that Pixel Bender does not work

with AIR on iOS but Pixel Blender 3D would do it. But Pixel Blender 3D seems

to be dead: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5059776#5059776.

I think I could use Flash/AGAL http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/what-is-agal.html

for smartphone os independent GPU accelerated photo apps. But I don't like low

level languages. And I don't know whether to use the filter classes is fast enough

for live filters. Or I have to use a Stage3D accelerated framework http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195886?tstart=0.

Have you looked to see if someone has already written a native extension that does this for the platforms you are targeting?
