Market Synopsis

The Global Image Signal Processor Market was valued at USD 2.67 Billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 4.12 Billion by the end of the forecast period with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.49%.

Image signal processing refers to the conversion of raw image data into a final image that can be further used for computer vision applications. An image sensor converts the light which is received from an optical lens into an electrical format. This data is fed to an image signal processor (ISP) to form a picture and can be previewed on the display screen. ISP not only converts raw image but also enhances the lighting and image quality. To accomplish this, additional lights are integrated within the camera module and an advanced ISP is used for processing the raw image. Several factors influence the growth of the global image signal processor market. These include increasing demand for video analytics to transform the raw data into a visible image and rising need for high power computing for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment systems. The market is also expected to witness growth opportunities owing to the miniaturization of SoCs and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. However, technical complexities in generating clearer images might act as a hindrance to the global image signal processing market.

Key Developments

• In December 2018, Qualcomm launched its artificial intelligence (AI) integrated image signal processor (ISP). The Qualcomm Spectra 380 is expected to support multi-frame noise reduction, hardware depth sensing, object classification, and object segmentation capabilities.

• In September 2018, Renesas Electronics partnered with MM Solutions to integrate an open image signal processor (ISP) solution on the latter’s Automotive Camera Development Kit (AutoCDK). The ISP solution is integrated into Renesas’ R-Car V3M and R-Car V3H System-on-Chips (SoCs) which is expected to accelerate the development of automotive smart camera applications.

• In February 2018, FotoNation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xperi Corporation, launched a third-generation image processing unit (IPU). The IPU is equipped with AI imaging engine and supports data transfer over encrypted networks.

• In April 2017, ARM Limited launched its first image signal processor (ISP) built for the automotive market. The Mali-C71 offers an ultra-wide dynamic range (UWDR) up to 24 stops. The processor is also capable of processing images from all of the car's cameras using a single SoC.
