Here’s a trend you may have missed: the increased use of high-resolution video in a wide variety of applications. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill video, but real 1080p 2.3MP 60 frames/s (fps) as well as 4MP 30 fps. These video resolutions provide the fine detail often needed to justify the use of video.
And such enhanced video offers an extra set of eyes that often provide valuable information to make the application worthwhile. Tiny high-resolution sensors now can be integrated into a variety of specialty products, giving them increased capabilities and, in some cases, permitting operations not possible before.
