IKN-3: Industry Keynote III

Urbanization is progressing around the world. The urban population ratio is already 50% today and is expected to reach around 70% by 2050. However, each city has its own unique problems that cannot be solved by specific technologies alone. For example, London and Tokyo, for example, face aging urban infrastructure problems behind their redevelopment. Rapidly developing cities such as Bangalore are experiencing traffic congestion and logistical stagnation due to inadequate infrastructure. All cities also have problems such as chronic hospital congestion due to diverse causes. Multimedia processing, including image processing, can contribute to solving these various urban problems. In this presentation, we will discuss applications and how they can be solved through a combination of technologies.
