  2. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoresistor

    A photoresistor (also known as a light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photo-conductive cell) is a passive component that decreases in resistance as a result of increasing luminosity (light) on its sensitive surface, in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. A photoresistor can be used in light-sensitive detector circuits and light-activated ...

  3. Intelligent street lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_street_lighting

    Intelligent street lighting. Intelligent street lighting refers to public street lighting that adapts to movement by pedestrians, cyclists and cars in a smart city. [1] Also called adaptive street lighting, it brightens when sensing activity and dims while not. This is different from traditional stationary illumination, and that which dims on a ...

  4. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

    The benefit of architectural lighting control systems in the theater is the ability for theater staff to turn worklights and house lights on and off without having to use a lighting control console. Alternately, the light designer can control these same lights with light cues from the lighting control console so that, for instance, the ...

  5. Tone mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_mapping

    Tone mapped high-dynamic-range (HDR) image of St. Kentigerns Roman Catholic Church in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK. Tone mapping is a technique used in image processing and computer graphics to map one set of colors to another to approximate the appearance of high-dynamic-range (HDR) images in a medium that has a more limited dynamic range.

  6. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    Photoelectric sensor. Conceptual through-beam system to detect unauthorized access to a secure door. If the beam is interrupted, the detector triggers an alarm. A photoelectric sensor is a device used to determine the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver.

  7. Smart traffic light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_traffic_light

    Smart traffic light. Smart traffic lights or Intelligent traffic lights are a vehicle traffic control system that combines traditional traffic lights with an array of sensors and artificial intelligence to intelligently route vehicle and pedestrian traffic. [1] They can form part of a bigger intelligent transport system.

  8. Traffic light control and coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_light_control_and...

    Traffic light control and coordination. A junction for road vehicles and pedestrians controlled by traffic lights in the UK. The various vehicle and pedestrian movements are separated in either time or space for safety and efficiency. The normal function of traffic lights requires more than sight control and coordination to ensure that traffic ...

  9. Solar street light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_street_light

    The solar panel is one of the most important parts of a solar street light, as the solar panel can convert solar energy into electricity that the lamps can use. There are two types of solar panels commonly used in solar street lights: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. The conversion rate of mono-crystalline solar panels is much higher than ...
