Develop digital future technology using artificial intelligence
Research Professor Kim Chae-gyu

The performance of research professor Kim Chae-gyu of the Artificial Intelligence Research Center at Pukyong National University attracts public attention. The ’Multi-sensory substitution that enhances human sensory perception ability and convergence technology-related development project’, which Professor Kim is collaborating with ETRI at the Artificial Intelligence Research Center, is drawing public attention. This is a research to develop digital future technology using artificial intelligence. To develop an alternative technology for artificial intelligence sense to overcome the limitations (time, space, intelligence, language, and body) that humans face. ’Development of face modeling and transformation technology linked to interactive media creation service platform’ is also his main research project. This research is a technology that replaces one’s face with a face in a specific media through facial transformation technology. It aims to develop and test models that can act in real time by deforming faces by creating deep learning-based facial transformation models and 3D masks. This platform provides a variety of interaction editing functions such as ▷a branch function for selecting a storyline, ▷a function for changing the actor’s face in a video, ▷a push function for sending a message to a video, ▷a tele function for making a call with a video, and ▷a connection function for connecting the video object and the web. In addition, it provides services to be used in interactive art and movies, experience-based machines and functional motion recognition games, and interactive advertisement production.
Starting out as a researcher at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in 1977, he moved to ETRI in 1998, and for 16 years until 2014, he served as the head of the ETRI Computer Software Research Center, the head of the Digital Home Research Center, the head of the research strategy division, and the head of the convergence technology research division. He became a research professor in 2014 at the PKNU Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation. For three years from 2017, he was active as a visiting professor at the Department of IT Convergence and Applied Engineering at Pukyong National University as the ’Inviting and Utilizing Professional Experienced Personnel Support Project’ of the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea. Since last March, he has served as a research professor at the Artificial Intelligence Research Center at Pukyong National University.
