    Report Overview

    Summary
    Values of AI servers and corresponding computing cores GPGPU (General-Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Unit) in parallel computing as LLM (Large Language Model), which excels in NLP (Natural Language Processing), and diffusion model, which excels in image processing, march towards mass commercialization, have become essential drivers for the human society in improving productivity through technical advancement.

    Among which, AI servers possess a higher degree of customization compared to that of cloud servers. Taiwanese ODMs, including Foxconn Industrial Internet, Inventec, MiTAC, Wistron, Wiwynn, and Quanta, are once again portraying essential roles in the supply chain for AI servers with their capabilities in customization, while server OEMs such as Dell, Gigabyte, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro are relying on AI server solutions as important growth dynamics in the global server market amidst the post-pandemic era.

    [Selected Topics] Development of Image Signal Processors and Computational Photography and Progress in Overcoming Physical Limitations of Smartphone Cameras

    2023/08/30

    Telecommunications , Consumer Electronics

     PDF

    Today, using smartphones to take photos has become a popular way for people to record and share everyday memories. Camera performance has also become an important factor for consumers when deciding to purchase a new smartphone. However, unlike traditional digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs), smartphones are designed to be lightweight and slim. Therefore, adopting a larger CMOS image sensor (CIS) or a heavier lens assembly to improve photoshoot is not practical. To overcome this physical limitation, advanced image signal processors (ISPs) and innovative computational photography algorithms are used to significantly enhance the imaging quality of smartphone cameras. These solutions can effectively compensate for the shortcoming of not being able to incorporate larger optical components into a smartphone camera.
