Computing evolution • Mainframe computer – 1950s • Personal Computer – 1980s • Laptop – early 1990s • Notebook – late 1990s / early 2000s • Tablet – late 2000s • Smartphone – early 2010s • Wearable devices – mid 2010s ? • Ubiquitous devices - ? • Ambient Intelligence - ? • Everyware - ?
Camera evolution – image sensors • Sensors’ resolution increase trend will slow down • Sensors will become smarter, reconfigurable, able to do computer vision applications in real time • Sensors might become arrays of micro-sensors • Sensors will become power-aware • Advent of computational photography is the death of DSLRs • “Always-on” camera sensor coming a long way
Will future camera sensor be “always-on”? • Accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, thermometer, MEMS, infrared sensors, camera sensors = context-aware mobile devide • Camera sensors could become “always on” as a by-product of: • Power consumption • Battery life • Sensor Resolution • Sensor Intelligence • Number of sensors and/or micro-sensors • Type of applications : wearable, video analytics, many field deployed devices (ZigBee?)
