Strengthening AI Industry Competitiveness Through Commercialization of Technology via Industry-Academia Collaboration
BigTablet, a company specializing in AI video processing, recently announced that it has signed an agreement with the research team of Professor Park Sanghyo (Video Intelligence Lab, KNU-VI) from the School of Computer Science at Kyungpook National University for the transfer and commercialization of next-generation real-time video compression processing technology.
This agreement was carried out as part of the industry-academia cooperation program of the Jisan Industry-Academia Cooperation Technology Research Institute at Kyungpook National University. Through the acquisition of this technology, BigTablet has established a foundation to simultaneously improve both efficiency and accuracy in the AI video processing field.
Existing AI video surveillance systems have faced limitations in real-time response due to latency during video transmission and false detection issues. The real-time video compression algorithm developed by Professor Park Sanghyo's research team is a technology that enhances data transmission efficiency while maintaining video quality, demonstrating more than twice the processing speed compared to previous solutions.
BigTablet is applying this technology to its own AI video processing solutions, promoting the commercialization of low-latency real-time processing technology across various industrial sectors such as video surveillance, security, smart cities, and transportation.
This agreement is considered a practical model of industry-academia cooperation, where university-originated core technology is directly implemented in the industrial field.
Park Minho, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of BigTablet, who is an alumnus of the Video Intelligence Lab (KNU-VI) at Kyungpook National University and co-researched this core technology, has led the entire process from initial development to demonstration and commercialization. He stated, "It is meaningful that technology developed during the research phase is now being applied in industry to create value," and added, "We will continue to advance the technology to enhance the global competitiveness of AI video processing."
Moon Jiho, CEO of BigTablet, said, "This collaboration marks a significant turning point in realizing BigTablet's vision of 'AI-powered real-time video innovation.' By connecting university research achievements with industrial sites, we will broaden the scope of AI technology applications and simultaneously strengthen industrial efficiency and technological reliability."
Professor Park Sanghyo further commented, "This is a good example of core AI video processing technology being linked to industry, and we will continue joint research to further advance cutting-edge video processing technologies."
This agreement is being evaluated as a model case for AI technology commercialization and industry-academia cooperation. Based on this technology, BigTablet is preparing to expand into various industries such as smart cities, industrial safety, public security, and autonomous driving. The company also plans to promote the expansion and advancement of the AI video processing industry ecosystem through ongoing research collaboration.
