Increased Adoption of CMOS Image Sensors Push CCDs into High End Imaging Applications

Advances in fabrication and designing techniques have led to the production of low cost, highly compact, miniaturized image sensors that offer high resolution images, while maintaining a small form factor. These features have allowed image sensors to penetrate a wide range of applications beyond their major market of consumer electronics. Other sectors such as industrial imaging, medical, security and surveillance and automotive also are leveraging the advancing technological abilities of image sensors.

Researchers Combine LTE and HEVC Technologies for Faster Video Streaming

Whether on a long train journey, sitting in a café or lounging at home on the sofa, smartphones and tablet computers allow us to watch videos anywhere and at any time. As convenient as this development is for users, it also throws up some problems. Because the downloaded video files are usually very large, they are increasingly putting too much strain on mobile phone networks. There is a reduction in image quality and videos take a long time to load. Sometimes users are even forced to take breaks while watching videos, because data cannot be downloaded fast enough.
