[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A student team consisting of Kim Yujeong, Kim Jingeun, Park Kwonhee, and Jeon Suwon, fourth-year students majoring in Computer Engineering at Pukyong National University, received an Excellent Paper Award at the '2022 Korea Multimedia Society Spring Conference National Undergraduate Paper Competition.'

The students were recognized for their outstanding research with the paper titled "A Congestion Measurement System for Public Transportation Using CCTV" at the competition held over two days, May 13-14, at BEXCO in Busan.

The Korea Multimedia Society holds the national undergraduate paper competition to help students develop theoretical and practical skills and foster creativity to develop new ideas.

The Pukyong National University students proposed a system that measures public transportation congestion at low cost by analyzing CCTV video image information, departing from the existing method of using weight sensors, which received favorable evaluations from the judges.

Advisor Professor Kim Taeguk said, "It seems the students achieved good results by applying the computer engineering knowledge they learned as undergraduates to come up with new ideas and directly challenge themselves to implement a system that can be applied in the field."

Since its founding in 1997, the Korea Multimedia Society, under the Ministry of Science and ICT, has grown into a nationwide society with over 6,700 members and has developed into the largest society in Korea in the fields of multimedia and computer applications.
