This product was developed as part of the collaboration matching platform established by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety(MOIS) and in collaboration with the Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation(KISTEC).​

1. Functions

Our system provides several essential functions, including:

 1) ​Obtaining images of facilities and 3D spatial information

  ○​​ Getting UHD VR panoramic images (360°​) of facilities including roads and tunnels by using the portable/vehicle-mounted MMS (Mobile Mapping System​​​)*​ equipment, drones,      

     etc.

     * MMS (Mobile Mapping System​)*​: It comprises LiDAR, GNSS/INS (Global Navigation Satellite System/Inertial Navigation System), camera, and so on. ​Among them, LiDAR               obtains 3D spatial information about location and shape of facilities.  

  ○ Converting data obtained by the MMS to map data and integrating the data with panoramic images ​

    - Automatically identifying and classifying Points of Interest (POI) or specific objects in the images by using AI and assigning 3D coordinates 

      ※​ For privacy protection, images containing personal information such as faces and vehicle registration plates​ are blurred. 

2) ​Constructing a facilities database ​

  ○​​ Building a web-based DB to store and manage spatial information

   - Keeping and managing data about facilities including names, locations, authorities concerned, contacts, history of management (e.g. inspection and repair) and drawings   

3) Analyzing damages of facilities

  ○​ Identifying damaged facilities in the VR panoramic images by using AI​

  ○​ Representing locations of damaged facilities in GIS-based maps

  ○​​ Saving and managing data about damages including types, lengths, areas and risk revels

2. Uniqueness

This system uses our own solutions, i.e. the MMS equipment ('Argos-S'​​) and technologies that we developed, from obtaining UHD VR images of facilities to integrating and managing data to provide the excellent 3D spatial information service which is highly realistic, accurate, precise and convenient as follows:

 1) Obtaining accurate 3D spatial information by using high-performance LiDARs

 2) Enabling localization even in the places where GNSS cannot work (e.g. tunnels) by using high-precision sensors

 3) Showing 3D-VR panoramic images with a real omnidirectional field of view (360 degrees) which can be easily and quickly watched and used in digital maps 

 4) Providing realistic data of facilities based on 3D visualization of spatial information

 5) Providing accurate spatial information quickly by applying the Depth Map*​ ​based on the sensor fusion technology we developed and AI 
  * Depth Map: This technology automatically detects, identifies and learns the status of and changes in objects and offers spatial information​ with high accuracy and precision   
    (absolute accuracy: within 1m, precision: 1cm or below).
