A Multi-Functional Sensor for Smart City:

1

MEASURE BASIC
PHYSICAL FEATURES

ROBUST TO AMBIENT
CONDITIONS

(velocity, distance, pressure,

temperature, light)

(Active sensors)

HIGH RESOLUTION
& LARGE DYNAMIC
RANGE

EXAMPLES:
High Resolution Camera: 3D imaging, small details, far distance
Multi Wavelength Camera: IR/Visible/UV
Canon develops 250 megapixel
camera sensor
