Computational photography is popular in digital cameras and particularly smartphones, automating several settings to allow for better point and shoot technology. Computational photography enhances images through the use of image processing algorithms by reducing motion blur and incorporating artificial depth of field, as well as enhancing color, contrast, and light range. Computing imaging works with advanced computational capabilities in the hardware. These software systems strengthen and extend capabilities of computational photography-based devices by compressing, expanding, and mosaicking an image. As computational photography technology advances, smartphones allow non-professional photographers to generate images of increased quality.

COVID-19 scenario Analysis: 

• Global computational photography market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled, which, in turn, have led to decline in demand for analog semiconductors. 
• Global factories have struggled to integrate new computational photography equipment as workers have stayed in their homes, which disrupted the global supply chains. 
• The impact of COVID-19 on this market is temporary as just the production and supply chain is stalled. Once the situation improves, production, supply chains, and demand for computational photography are gradually going to increase.  
• This COVID-19 lockdown would help companies think about more advanced to enhance efficiency.
