Over recent years we have seen lots of innovation in the different sensor modalities, lidar moving to solid state, radar increasing resolution, cameras building 3D images etc. Also at the edges of performance, we have seen the domain of each sensor become blurred and overlap more. There are specific innovations in what we traditionally call ‘image sensors’, based on CMOS technology that are extending the capabilities of what could be considered a ‘camera’ as well. The argument of the discussion is “CMOS camera technology capabilities will broaden sensor capabilities to such an extent to make other sensor modalities redundant”.
