NEXTLab(CEO : Changguen Lee), which is a company that specializes in AI Vision technology, and Solder(CEO : Hakjin Kim), a company that specializes in drone control and manufacturing, held a joint presentation on AI-based highway drone control automation technology on Dec. 16th, 2021. It was successfully held in Cheonan resting area while many officials from Korea Expressway Corporation, relevant companies, and the military attended and watched.
Furthermore, based on this presentation, the two companies announced on Dec 22nd, 2021 that they signed “AI-based drone highway control automation technology research business agreement” to cooperate in highway drone control automation project in the future.
AI-based drone highway control automation technology uses drones that perform highway control tasks with real-time AI video analysis, and automatically monitors lane-violating vehicles and automatically files reports on them.
To materialize this highway control automation technology, NEXTLab applied its self-developed latest deep-learning based Lane Detection technology, Vehicle Detection technology, Vehicle Type Detection technology, and License Plate Recognition technology. The drone models used were SD810, developed in-house by Solder for highway monitoring, where you can put standard DSLR cameras and are evaluated as having excellent stable flight quality fit for recording high-resolution videos.
CEO of Solder, Hakjin Kim, stated, “Thanks to the business agreement with NEXTLab, we can implement AI-based drone highway control automation technology and increase the efficiency of drone control tasks because before this technology, 2 people each had to control a drone and a camera, but now 1 person can control drones effectively. Moreover, we expect to deliver products and solutions that help spread new values and overcome the conventional paradigm in the vehicle/pedestrian control market by combining drone and AI technology.”
NEXTLab’s CEO, Changguen Lee, stated, “Since our foundation, we continued to build our competence in network and media, smart factory, and vehicle control market for many years with the consistent theme of AI Vision technology. As a result, we are excited to introduce new technology, different from that of other companies, to the market by presenting a demo and signing a technology research business agreement with Solder. We will continue to invest in technology research and development, and cooperate closely with great partner companies like Solder to provide highly credible and stable solutions that the market needs.”
