KETI Develops Environment-Adaptive Wrap-Around View Monitoring Platform
Published2018.04.06 14:34The Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) has announced the development of a WAVM (Wrap-Around View Monitoring) platform that combines multiple camera feeds in real-time to generate customized omnidirectional video according to environmental conditions.
WAVM is a technology that mounts cameras on the front, rear, left, and right of a vehicle to create video from a bird's-eye view perspective, as if someone is looking down at the vehicle from above. It is easy to understand by imagining the perspective when playing a driving game—not from the viewpoint of being inside the vehicle, but from a perspective where you can see both the vehicle and surrounding roads while driving. Because blind spots are eliminated, it is a core technology already equipped as standard on high-end vehicles.
The technology developed by KETI this time applies distance sensors to grasp spatial information both indoors and outdoors, and provides three-dimensional stereoscopic effect similar to actual sites by applying spatial models according to environmental conditions depending on the situation. The existing WAVM technology, which was commercialized primarily for vehicles, can now be customized for various applications such as robots and drones that move between indoor and outdoor spaces, enabling more intuitive remote control.
Particularly in the case of construction machinery and equipment, operations frequently occur in dangerous areas prone to rollovers and falling accidents, and because they are operated in hazardous conditions such as dust at demolition sites, remote operation utilizing this technology can ensure worker safety.
Additionally, by applying algorithms that minimize computational load and parallel processing technology, the video combination speed is improved, and the frame rate is increased to 25fps, similar to motion pictures, enabling smoother video output. Another advantage is that multiple camera feeds can be processed on low-cost embedded platforms.
KETI researcher Kim Seung-hun stated, "The WAVM developed this time can be equipped on existing vehicles as well as construction machinery, robots, and drones to provide three-dimensional stereoscopic effect similar to actual conditions regardless of indoor or outdoor environments," and added, "Through this technology, we expect that worker safety at job sites will be enhanced and related markets such as drones and remote robots will be activated."

KETI and Smart Factory Activation Partnership on Testing and Certification Technologies
The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (KETI) announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Public-Private Joint Smart Factory Promotion Group (KOSF) and TÜV SÜD Korea at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry for technical cooperation in smart factory testing and certification. The government has been making efforts to supply and disseminate smart factories since 2014. Currently there are approximately 5,000 smart factories, with plans to increase this to 20,000 by 2022. The goal is to elevate the current level, which is limited to production history tracking and management of specific processes or partial automation, to an advanced smart factory level capable of customized flexible production. Testing and certification is the starting point for industry activation. This is because test results on interoperability and compatibility among various products—including equipment, networks, energy, security, and other components that implement smart factories—serve as a credential enabling related companies to smoothly enter the market. However, since smart factory-related technologies are diverse and standardization efforts are underway with international standards in mind (IEC, ISO, IIC, etc.), the reality is that responding to global certification is challenging not only for SMEs but even for large enterprises.

SalePoint Signs Multi-Year Partnership Agreement with AWS… Promoting Identity Security that Integrates Even AI Agents
Sailpoint has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with AWS and is moving forward with establishing an integrated governance system that manages both human and non-human identities together. The plan is to consistently manage access permissions in an environment where AI agents are increasing as work execution entities, while applying the principle of least privilege and automated policy enforcement. The two companies plan to jointly expand capabilities to manage the identities of various entities, including AI agents, within a single layer in the AWS environment. This collaboration is interpreted as a move to design security and governance together in corporate environments where AI adoption is expanding.
