The next generation of astronomical imaging instruments will present at the same time incredible scientific opportunities and technical challenges. I will highlight forthcoming developments in the field of astronomical imaging and how they will yield huge amount of data to be processed with unprecedented precision. I will discuss the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the development of new image analysis algorithms and promising ways for attaining crucial improvements in the field.
