Smart Camera Market Strategic Outlook
Smart cameras refers to category of cameras with ability to picture along with making sense of what happening in image followed by automation of decision for user. This allows the automation of simpler processing decisions, and their small footprint and internal (and often very powerful) processors make them more flexible than machine vision sensors. Frequently, smart cameras are linescan instruments with exceptional one-line resolutions. Smart cameras are enabled with functionality of image analysis and data communication with interface.

Smart camera operation can be demonstrated as, a camera that can monitor a door entry and trigger an alarm or send an e-mail to a user when an entry is attempted outside of opening hours. With this functionality camera would qualify as “smart camera” because it can figure out what is happening (detecting a prohibited entry) and act (triggering an alarm or sending an e-mail). The primary purpose of image processing in smart cameras, on the other hand, is to generate event descriptions and decisions for other devices in an automated control system. This is evident in two of the most popular applications for smart cameras: video surveillance and industry machine vision.
Some of the key features of Smart Cameras includes:
- Real-time image processing and pattern recognition
- Extract useful information from the images and make decisions
- Programmable to perform different tasks for a particular class of applications
- Small physical size hence easier to be deployed in real-world applications
- Very low bandwidth devices
- Smart cameras are autonomous systems and do not need a great deal of intervention once calibrated.
- built-in microprocessors and autonomous operations, smart cameras are especially suited for intelligent. networked
