A team from MIT Media Lab has posted a new arXiv preprint titled “Physics vs. Learned Priors: Rethinking Camera and Algorithm Design for Task-Specific Imaging”.

China’s smartphone sales declined for 10 consecutive weeks since the 6th week of 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021, according to Counterpoint Research. Weakened consumer sentiment caused by the Chinese government’s “dynamic zero-Covid” policy was one of the main drivers for this decline. It is now evident…

In Feb 2022, Qualcomm announced its fifth-generation 5G modem design: the Snapdragon X70. Qualcomm has announced new features and…

Entering a period of robust growth In 2022, the global semiconductor chip industry is expected to reach about US$600 billion. But while it’s still dwarfed by farming, oil, and gas-industries that are worth an annual US$10 trillion and US$5 trillion in revenue respectively-80% of the world’s food or fuel doesn’t come from a handful of manufacturers…

Prof. Edoardo Charbon: Photon counting has entered the realm of image sensing with the creation of deep-submicron CMOS SPAD technology. The format of SPAD image sensors has expanded from 8×4 pixels in 2004 to the recent megapixel camera in 2019, and the applications have literally exploded in the last few years, with the…
