Thierry Ligozat, the Chief Innovation Officer at Teledyne e2v, delivered a compelling keynote speech at the Asia Pacific Innovation Summit 2017 series titled "Smart & Connected Cities." His presentation focused on the role of image and vision sensors, systems, and applications in shaping the future of smart cities. The event, co-hosted by the Asia-Pacific Innovation Summit and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, took place on September 7–8 and aimed to explore how technology can drive urban transformation. Attendees discussed Hong Kong’s smart city vision, as well as strategies for implementing intelligent and flexible urban planning across neighboring regions.
In his talk, Thierry highlighted how smart cities will depend on advanced visual sensor technologies to collect and analyze visual data, supporting better decision-making and creating more connected, intelligent, and instrumented communities. He presented five key applications, including smart public lighting, intelligent transportation systems, industrial safety, traffic safety, and medical applications. Each example illustrated how visual sensing can enhance efficiency, security, and quality of life in urban environments.
Thierry also explained the components of a vision system, including optical elements, sensors, electronic controls, image processing, and optional specialized lighting. He showcased Teledyne e2v’s CMOS sensor technology, which extends beyond the visible spectrum, covering ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR), making it ideal for night vision and medical imaging. This technology allows for high-quality image capture in both day and night modes, while accurately identifying small details like license plates. Additionally, CMOS sensors offer advanced 3D vision capabilities, improving depth perception, reducing false detections, and enhancing overall system reliability. These innovations are set to play a crucial role in the development of next-generation smart city solutions.
