An academy-industry cooperative research center will be established at POSTECH for the development of next generation surveillance technology.

The center will be named the ‘Samsung Techwin-POSTECH Intelligent Media Research Center’ and its director will be Professor Daijin Kim of the Intelligent Media Lab.

The Intelligent Media Lab presently possesses the leading position in video surveillance and face analysis. Support from Samsung Techwin, the largest corporation in the field of video surveillance in Korea, will boost technological innovation.

Samsung Techwin will support the research center with a total of 1.5 billion KRW for 5 years.

The research center will work on the application of face analysis, human behavior analysis and video analysis technology in intelligent visual surveillance technology for a bright future of human and robotic cooperation.

Professor Daijin Kim said, “Along with the research achievement, I will strive to establish the center as a new model of academy-industry  cooperation.”
