The lecture will be given by Associate Professor Jeon Hae-gon from the GIST AI Graduate School, under the theme 'The Computer Vision Technologies We Use.'

In particular, it will interestingly introduce vision technologies through various cases, such as how South Korea's robot was able to win the Disaster Robotics Challenge (DRC) with certain technologies, and how smartphones recognize users.

Associate Professor Jeon earned his master's and doctoral degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and completed postdoctoral research at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. His main research areas include autonomous driving, 3D reconstruction, and image enhancement.

Admission is possible on-site after making a reservation in advance on the science museum's website, and anyone can participate free of charge.

Various souvenirs will be provided by lottery and on a first-come, first-served basis during the event, and participants who post reviews of the lecture on SNS will receive mobile coupons upon verification.

Special souvenirs will also be provided through stamp impressions given for participation in each session.
