MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531130344 A) filed by Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West Bengal, on Dec. 22, 2025, for 'covered face detection for enhanced surveillance using deep learning.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Swati Bhattacharjee; Dr. Chiranjib Goswami; Dr. Bhaskar Roy; and Mr. Ayan Chowdhury.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A real-time covered face detection and alert system is disclosed for enhanced surveillance in secure environments. The system implements a deep learning approach utilizing the MobileNetV2 architecture, which is an optimized convolutional neural network integrated with OpenCV for high-speed identification of whether a person's face is covered or uncovered within live surveillance feeds. Upon successful detection of a covered face, the system automatically triggers immediate, multi-channel alerts transmitted through email and SMS, appending the captured image of the suspect for rapid confirmation and action by authorities. The invention provides a lightweight, scalable, and high-accuracy solution suitable for deployment on embedded systems, thus significantly improving security and monitoring efficiency in areas such as ATMs and public infrastructure."
