Omnivision and Mediatek Announce Collaboration

The China Post: While Omnivision sensors have been used in Mediatek reference designs for a long time, the newly announced partnership aims to develop new technologies that can integrate images taken by both of the front and back cameras for the best effect.

Forward-facing cameras have become a standard part of smartphones but are still not being fully utilized, with image quality still poor and applications lacking, according to MediaTek.

In addition to increasing the utilization rate of front cameras, customers can make use of the new functions to enhance video communication with friends via their smartphones for more fun, Mediatek and Omnivision said.
