Curved image sensors for better resolution, and wide field of view cameras for cell phones to Miniature UAVs

Smartphone camera technology is growing in leaps and bounds in the past couple of years and continues to be a major point to differentiate their products.  More and more technologies are being incorporated including  larger sensors, better lenses, ultra-thin lens, optical image stabilization technologies, dual camera optical zoom technology that also improve low light performance and remove noise. CMOS image sensor has been the revolutionary technology for smartphones that through smaller pixels, higher sensitivity and lower noise at a decreased cost has resulted in cameras that produce fast and high-quality images.
