Tessera, the Unsung Hero of Your Digital Camera

New digital cameras have all kinds of smartness built in. They can recognize faces or even know if you smile.

Tessera is a company that creates image processing algorithms that are then licensed to many digital camera brands (that’s why they can all deploy such features very rapidly). Tessera is a business-to-business (B2B) company, that’s why you’ll probably never hear from them elsewhere. We thought that we should shed some light on these unsung consumer electronics heros.
