Image Sensors: The Eyes Of AI And Intelligent Systems

With the advent of the smartphone we have witnessed one of the most powerful tools that mankind has ever seen.

Without this technology, we wouldn't have Facebook live or the countless videos that give people access to what's really happening on the ground.
