AI Camera Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers 

Increase in focus of Smartphone and camera manufacture to provide a camera with better quality

Smartphones enabled with AI technology can recognise images. When taking a picture, the phone identifies the object being photographed. It also applies the correction filter which results in better quality images. The AI also compensates for low-resolution images. If the picture being viewed on the device is of a lower resolution, the AI-vision engine predicts the pixels which are missing. This allows a better quality full-display image. Due to these features, smartphone manufactures are focusing to offer AI-based smartphones. The companies are including AI features such as user authentication, emotion recognition, and device management. These AI features helps to understand user behaviors. The top smartphone providers such as Apple, Samsung, and Huawei have introduced smartphones with powerful AI chips that can perform up to 5 trillion operations per second and use significantly less power to complete tasks. In addition, AI featured phones provides to improve photo quality by using AI recognition feature.

Restraints
