Gwangju University Takes Initiative to Train Core Talent for Future Transportation Industry

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangju University is nurturing creative talents who will lead the future transportation equipment industry through the Gwangju-Jeonnam regional innovation platform.

According to Gwangju University on the 26th, students from the Department of Photography, Video, and Drone and graduate students from the Graduate School of Cultural Contents, participating in the future transportation equipment development project based on local government-university cooperation regional innovation platform, recently conducted the "Jeju Field Training Project LAB."

The students participating in the "Project LAB," along with Professor Yoon Tae-joon and others, carried out aerial drone orthophoto shooting of the Japanese military cave fortifications at Seongsan Ilchulbong in Jeju, as well as digital twin data production through acquisition of ground terrain survey data.

The Project LAB includes ▲drone operation (acquisition of spatial terrain information 2D/3D scanning data) training ▲software (Pix4D) training ▲animation video education using spatial terrain information ▲ground LiDAR operation ▲production of outputs (3D digital twin data).

The Japanese military cave fortifications at Seongsan Ilchulbong, filmed during this project, are known as the best-preserved among the five naval suicide special attack bases in Jeju Island, containing the most diverse military facilities.

The participating students plan to film this historically valuable site using drones to introduce the historical site marked by the blood and sweat of residents forcibly mobilized during the Japanese colonial period war and to raise awareness of the importance of peace.

They use aerial smart drones to acquire spatial information through terrain scanning, and complete the process of producing outputs through work with Pix4D and post-processing software using raw data.

Through this, they will also reveal results that help understand the process of expanding from 2D data to 3D data and the operation and post-processing of drones and software for acquiring spatial terrain information by applying this concept.

Professor Yoon Chae-joon of the Department of Photography, Video, and Drone at Gwangju University said, “It is meaningful to conduct content education based on rapidly changing technologies in the 4th industrial era in line with the specialized curriculum of the Department of Photography, Video, and Drone,” adding, “We will continue to strive for the department’s branding, specialization, and field-oriented talent development.”
