Kim Min-sik, CEO of OneMoreSecurity (photographing - Aving News) during an interview on a special feature of innovative products
To tell the stories of companies designated as innovative products more vividly, AVING News has teamed up with the Innovation Product Support Center to plan an interview. The interview is co-hosted by Jihoon Choi Aving News editor-in-chief and Kim Byung-gun, director of the Innovation Product Support Center, focusing on shedding light on the true value of innovative companies in Korea.
OneMoreSecurity Inc. (CEO Kim Min-sik) is a company that provides missing person detection and safety management services through AI-based video analysis solutions. Choi Jihoon Choi and Kim Byung-gun, head of the center, met with Kim Min-sik, CEO of OneMore Security, to talk about the background of product development, technology, and future vision.
Q. Kim Byung-gun, Director of the Innovation Product Support Center (hereinafter referred to as Kim Byung-gun, Director of the Center): Please introduce OneMoreSecurity's products.
A. Kim Min-sik, CEO of OneMoreSecurity: OneMoreSecurity's product, OMEYE, is a service that allows users to quickly identify past travel routes and current locations of people or vehicles by analyzing multiple CCTVs. During the development process, the government actively utilized various systems and R&D tasks, and secured customers through the innovative product designation system.
In particular, computer vision technology is used to analyze images, and when analyzing with the naked eye, the concentration decreases even after 15 minutes, and there are many cases where important scenes are missed. To solve these problems, OneMore Security has put a lot of effort into improving the accuracy of its algorithm, and the speed of analysis is also considered a strength.
For example, if an hour-long video is analyzed using 100 channels, or 100 hours, based on a single server in connection with a VMS (video management system) or NVR (network video recorder) of a control center, it can be processed in about 7 to 8 minutes. This speed is 750 times faster than visual analysis by humans.

OMEYE's Smart Video Search
Q. Kim Byung-gun, Director of the Center: I wonder how you came to develop these technologies.
A. Kim Min-sik, CEO of OneMoreSecurity: The number of dementia patients is increasing significantly as the aging society continues to progress both at home and abroad. At the scene, it is necessary to solve the case by analyzing the video with the naked eye, and in some cases, hundreds of police officers are involved. I became interested in product development with the idea of solving these problems.
At first, I focused on developing the algorithm, and then I even developed a platform that could actually operate this algorithm.
Q. Kim Byung-gun, Director of the Center: I wonder if you had any difficulties in developing the technology.
A. Kim Min-sik, CEO of OneMoreSecurity: Although a lot of data is disclosed in the AI field these days through the government's AI hub, it is somewhat insufficient to develop algorithms at the level required by the market. However, we got a good opportunity through the support of the Ministry of Science and ICT. After receiving about 3.7 billion won worth of development subsidies for two years, three companies compete every year to advance algorithms and conduct projects to demonstrate on the spot.
Through this project, we were able to secure private data worth about 10 billion won, which was built with the consent of personal information by paying tens of thousands of actors real costs. The ability to develop algorithms based on these high-quality data contributed greatly to product advancement.
The quality of data is the most crucial factor in algorithm development. Even after auto-labeling, human verification and completion of learning data must be done. In the end, it can be seen that how meticulously a person improves data quality determines the performance of the algorithm.
Q. Kim Byung-gun, Director of the Center: I know that there have been regulatory issues with technology that identifies people based on facial recognition for reasons such as personal information protection, but I wonder how these parts have changed now.
A. Kim Min-sik, CEO of OneMoreSecurity: It is possible to provide such information in accordance with the Missing Children Act (Act on the Protection and Support of Missing Children, etc.). There is no personal information issue because it is not operated directly by a company, but by a public institution that can use the information.
In Korea, structurally, the CCTV operation entity is the local government, so the actual purchase is made by the local government. However, practical use is mainly made by the police.
