Jiyun Park and Jungmin Shim of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering won the first prize at the SW Talent Festival, held from December 3 to December 4.
At the SW Talent Festival, organized by the National Program of Excellence in Software and participated by 40 software-oriented universities (hereinafter “SW-centered universities”), major achievements from industry-academic cooperation projects were introduced.
The SW-centered university Project is a project promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT to strengthen the software competitiveness of students, companies, and society by introducing innovative education on software. Ewha Womans University was selected as the SW-centered university in 2019. Since then the university has received 7 billion won from the government for four years to strengthen professional software education as well as to nurture software experts with the goal of fostering SW female leaders in the 4th industrial revolution era.
The SW Talent Festival, which marks its fifth anniversary this year, was held to raise awareness of the SW industry and the value of SW education in Korea. In this year’s festival, Jiyun Park and Jungmin Shim won the first prize for their achievement, ‘Smart fish farm system utilizing embedded-based fish biometrics collection system.’
The achievement is a service that can be applied to the fish farm industry. Over the past 40 years, the fish farm industry has grown significantly worldwide, especially in Korea where seafood consumption is the biggest and where the demand is expected to grow further. However, the Korean fish farm industry is currently facing limitations of high cost and low efficiency as it is not automated. To solve this problem, Ms. Park and Ms. Shim developed an ‘embedded-based fish biometrics system’ that provides a fish size measurement service based on AI and a real-time streaming service.
"It was not easy to do a research on fish farm industry as a student. However, thanks to professors of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, including Prof. Dongsub Cho as well as the Korea Trout Farmer’s Association, we were able to carry out the project successfully," said Ms. Shim. Ms. Park said, "We hope our project can allow automating the industry with AI and other digital technologies.
