The "3A" algorithms - Auto-focus, auto-exposure and auto-white balance are generally considered "secret sauce" by the various camera companies and thus closely guarded. The calibration process which is required to tune an ISP's pipeline is also very subjective and tied to the end use case. Having been involved with this area for the past couple of years I do believe that the openness of the raspberry pi platform (specifically with regards to the camera) is nudging the industry in the right direction.
