MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061652 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 15, for 'method and apparatus for river water surveillance using image processing.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Sivabalan BK; Mr. Ajay Adidyan RK; Mr. Rishant S; and Dr. S. S. Subashka Ramesh.
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: "The river water level monitoring is an essential needy technology in which the regions that are dependent in river water resources. Most of the regions which are located in southern most part of our country must collect the river data's that are required to make the essential steps before they are experience floods and other river related hazards. This projects bring you the insights and core ideology of the river water management using the simple IOT devices and AI models. This project is enclosed with technical analysis of water levels using image processing technology. We created a simple data module and a flowchart that helps us to understand the overall structure and working of our project. This camera-based system usually takes the image as a resource or an input that is further processed with image generation, identification and analysation. This analysed image will be stored in our database with the topical information like date, location, water level, climatic condition, water speed etc. This information is frequently collected by our pre calibrated camera sensors and analysed according to the frequency required for the particular region with priorities. We have also integrated with a pre- defined threshold data which is designed in our program base. This predefined limit keeps the limit according to the location and other factors. When the limit is exceeded our AI module is programmed to alert and send the report to our entity or government in which they act accordingly to save lives from damages that are made by river flooding and etc. This system helps to improve public awareness, support disaster management, also provides scaled perfect data in which these data's are further used by the government for research and study purposes."
