>tl;dr: many OEM vendors are moving toward creating "dumber" cameras, with the hardware just exporting a raw data stream and all the image processing logic is done in software.

weird, I understood it the total opposite - with vendors shipping more and more sophisticated solutions with embedded dedicated processors doing everything inside a black box (IPU6). You dont get ANY access to raw data stream, and no access at all if you cant talk to those black boxes.



It's a mix of both on various stages of the pipeline. Cameras get dumber; undocumented ISPs with blobs to talk to them get more complex.
