Abstract: Over the last two decades, we have observed a phenomenal growth in Mobile photography whose quality has come very close to the entry/mid-level DSLRs. This has been possible due to the continuous innovations in the lens optics, imaging sensor and the computing units. More importantly, we are now witnessing the next level of camera experience getting enabled by the AI Scene understanding technology. With scene understanding, these new generation of mobile devices are able to sense the world, understand and make appropriate decisions required for capturing the best quality photos. In this talk, we cover the various challenges involved in realizing the Scene Understanding technology on embedded devices and how it influences the future of photography in years to come.
