Venture capital investing mainly in image recognition technology such as computer vision technology "LDV CapitalAccording to the survey published by the survey published by the survey published in 2017, there are 14 billion camera sensors in the town whereas in the future it will increase with rising sharp increase to 44.4 billion in 2022, Is expected to show an increase of 216%. This includes not only the number of surveillance cameras installed in the city, but also cameras that are installed in smart phones, smart home devices like Amazon Echo, and robotic equipment.


The following graph shows the breakdown. At the time of 2017 that 14 billion camera sensors are present, 72% of them are installed in handheld devices such as digital cameras and smart phones, 7% are robot devices, 3% are security devices, And 18% is "other". In 2022, the proportion of handheld devices will decrease to 59%, smart home appliances are expected to increase significantly to 18%. And interestingly, it seems that security equipment is increasing to 8%. It is expected to show more than twice the growth compared with 2017, and it is expected that cameras aimed at security will increase in the future in the future.


LDV Capital predicts that by 2022, 4 to 10 cameras will be loaded on smartphones, including 3D sensors. However, most of the images and images captured by cameras mounted on various devices, including smartphones, are no longer what people see, for the future. The images and images captured by the camera are input to the computer, which is used for "data mining" in which AI extracts useful data from enormous images and images by performing analysis processing, or by using an automatic driving car to change the state of the driver It is said to be used for purposes such as recognizing and automatically detecting the safety situation of families at home. Moreover, it is expected that the number of cameras installed in robot equipment, which is expected to become popular in the future, will increase by 20 times.

Although it can be expected that people's lives can be more convenient by techniques which were not available in the past, on the other hand, it is also pointed out that hacking could infringe people 's privacy or make it a steppingstone for unfriendly acts It is.
