MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611022961 A) filed by Panipat Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Samalkha, Haryana, on Feb. 26, for 'an ai-enabled distributed surveillance system for real-time detection, re-identification, and spatiotemporal tracking of missing persons using multi-camera video streams.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Poonam Panwar; and Prof. Satish Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence-enabled distributed surveillance system for real-time detection, re-identification, and spatiotemporal tracking of missing persons using live video streams acquired from multiple, geographically dispersed CCTV cameras. The system integrates edge processing units for preliminary video analytics with a centralized AI processing engine employing deep learning models to extract multi-modal identity features and match them against a missing persons database. Cross-camera re-identification and spatiotemporal correlation of timestamped detections enable continuous tracking of individuals across non-overlapping camera networks. The system further provides automated alert generation, movement trajectory visualization, and secure monitoring interfaces for authorized agencies, thereby reducing investigation time, improving identification accuracy, and enhancing the effectiveness of missing person recovery operations."
