Computational Photography Market Size, Share & Segmentation by Offering (Camera Modules and Software), by Type (Single- and Dual-Lens Camera, 16- Lens Camera, Others), by Product (Smartphone Cameras, Standalone Cameras, and Machine Vision Cameras), by Application (3D Imaging, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality), by Regions and Global Market Forecast 2023-2030

Report Scope & Overview:

The Computational Photography Market size was valued at USD 19.58 Bn in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 106.39 Bn by 2030, and grow at a CAGR of 23.56% over the forecast period 2023-2030.

Computational photography is prevalent in digital cameras, especially smartphones, where it automates various settings to enable better point-and-shoot technology. Computational photography improves photographs by minimizing motion blur, introducing artificial depth of field, and boosting color, contrast, and light range using image processing techniques. Computing imaging makes use of the hardware's powerful computational capabilities. By compressing, enlarging, and mosaicking a picture, these software solutions enhance and extend the capabilities of computational photography-based devices. As computational photography technology progresses, cellphones enable non-professional photographers to produce higher-quality photographs.

The market is being driven by the increasing use of the Image Fusion Technique to create high-quality images. Since image fusion techniques have advanced rapidly in a variety of applications in recent years, methods for objectively, systematically, and statistically assessing or evaluating the performance of various fusion technologies have been identified as an essential demand. The improvement of night color images is critical in both computational photography and computer vision.

It can successfully boost the scene's visibility and strangeness. Furthermore, at night, artificial lighting light spreads unevenly, lowering the quality of monitoring images and increasing the complexity of surveillance. As a result, night color picture enhancement can help boost video surveillance.

IMPACT OF COVID-19:

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a severe influence on the global computational photography sector. New projects throughout the world have stopped, resulting in a drop in demand for analog semiconductors. As workers stayed at home, multinational factories struggled to incorporate new computational photographic equipment, disrupting global supply chains. COVID-19's influence on this market is very temporary because only the production and supply chain are halted. Production, supply networks, and demand for computational photography will steadily expand as the situation improves. This COVID-19 shutdown would assist businesses in considering more innovative ways to improve efficiency.

MARKET ESTIMATION:

The adoption of AI-based sophisticated cameras and the rising need for arrays of cameras in a single product are driving the market expansion of camera modules. Each computational camera's hardware and software are often tailored to create a certain sort of image. The picture is optically encoded. The computational module contains an optics model that it utilizes to interpret the acquired picture and create a new sort of image that might help a vision system.

The increased sales of smartphones equipped with powerful cameras and artificial intelligence capabilities are driving the computational photography industry. The market for smartphone-based computational cameras is changing dramatically. Computational cameras have a significant influence on the smartphone industry. Smartphones are now incorporating computational photography.

The rise of smartphone cameras that employ single- and dual-lens camera modules for sophisticated imaging is driving demand for these cameras. With multiple lens cameras, manufacturers have been able to incorporate additional features like as zoom, improved HDR, portrait settings, 3D, and low-light shooting. New generations of smartphones with strong dual back cameras have just been released.

Computational photography cameras can be used to capture photographs of a specific item from which an automated model of the scene can be built. With the use of this technology, a wide variety of conceivable adjustments, including scene geometry and textures, may be examined interactively and evaluated on-set. With developments in computer vision technology, it is now feasible to record 3D pictures using a variety of sensors and extract depth information in the process. Mixed reality is the next development in human, computer, and environment interaction, unlocking previously unimaginable possibilities. With the use of sophisticated imagery, computational photography is expected to improve consumer experience when integrated with virtual reality.
