We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital imaging",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Video decoder and HD digitiser come together from
Analog Devices, which we summarised at the time by saying "Complete single-chip system for improving video image and colour quality in advanced high-definition TVs, video processors, audio/video receivers and DVD recorders".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Lab standardises imaging tests from
DxO Labs: "Diwa Labs chose DxO Analyzer because it's the world's most advanced software for image quality analysis".
In October 2007, we covered the news from OmniVision
concerning its OV2650
- take a look at Handset camera takes antishake onboard
which says: "Sensor brings digital still camera performance to camera phones in a fifth-inch optical format, allowing an easy upgrade of existing 1.3Mpixel and VGA camera phone designs".
Take a look also at the news release from FCI, Connector improves medical imaging,
as well as DaVinci technology in high-volume digital cameras from Texas Instruments (April 2006-),
and Digital camera processor for consumer market from Zoran Corporation - Imaging Division.
