[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, trainee reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A student from Pukyong National University won grand prizes in two categories at the ‘2021 V-World 3D Modeling Contest’ hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and organized by the Spatial Information Industry Promotion Agency.

In the contest, the team of Jin Cheong-gil, Kim Min-seo, and Lee Da-eun from Pukyong National University’s Department of Spatial Information Systems Engineering, Drone and Satellite Photogrammetry Laboratory, won the grand prize in the Landmark category, while the team of Kim Min-ji, Lee Se-jin, and Lee Kang-ham won the grand prize in the Small-scale Area category.

The contest was held to encourage public interest in V-World and Digital Twin Land. It is held annually in three categories: Landmark, Small-scale Area, and Spatial Information Utilization Ideas.

The contest discovers three-dimensional digital models owned by public and private sectors and provides the V-World map service, a spatial information open platform, free of charge.

The team led by Jin Cheong-gil, which won the grand prize in the Landmark category, selected Yongdusan Park as a symbol of Busan and produced a 3D model through drone aerial photography, receiving excellent evaluations.

Jin Cheong-gil’s team presented the landmark value of Yongdusan Park and solved the modeling video alignment issue related to Busan Tower within the park, implementing a high-quality 3D model and receiving the highest score.

The team led by Kim Min-ji, which won the grand prize in the Small-scale Area category, selected Jungang Park and proposed a method to effectively reduce the time and cost of building 3D models through drone aerial photography.

Kim Min-ji’s team delicately implemented the spire part of the Chung Hon Tower, gaining recognition for high efficiency and usability, and received the highest score.

Pukyong National University students utilized their major in Spatial Information Systems Engineering to propose various perspectives on drone-based spatial information construction methods, solving problems and presenting implementation approaches.
