Image Engineering: AI content

• Through research on two-dimensional and three-dimensional images, modeling and rendering, and animation, it aims to foster competitive manpower that can develop new expression technologies and environments and develop future applications.
• Through this, it is possible to realize Virtual Environments/Synthetic Environments that are difficult to actually work or practice in various fields using simulations in artificial environments that exist or do not exist using computers and peripherals.

• In addition, the production and utilization of intelligent and efficient game contents are studied by applying improved interactive technology. It is possible to actively and effectively implement information, entertainment, and art elements of content through research such as improving the production environment of multimedia and game contents, an interface that enables creative interaction, intelligent response of content, efficient use of content, watermarking, and information protection technology to protect content.

• In particular, it is possible to implement a metaverse that can freely interact with the real world through convergence research of such video games, computer graphics, 3D/AR/VR, interactive technology, visual perception science, and artificial intelligence technologies.

(The course is operated by all professors in the Graduate School of Advanced Imaging).

CREATIVE LAB

• CREATIVE Lab is a collaborative research laboratory where full-time master’s students can freely pursue research and engage with a diverse range of faculty members, without being restricted to a single lab. Through collaboration with multiple professors, students are encouraged to explore their research interests before selecting a research direction that best aligns with their goals. Admission to the program is granted solely through the official GSAIM interview process, eliminating the need to contact individual professors in advance. From the second semester onward, students may freely choose their advisor, enabling a flexible and personalized start to their research journey. In addition, the lab offers priority opportunities to serve as research and teaching assistants, while fostering an active academic community through joint seminars with other labs, informal coffee chats, and access to shared computing resources.
