MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631009729 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Patna, Bihar, on Jan. 30, for 'system and method for flood hazard prediction and sensor deployment guidance.'
Inventor(s) include Sarangi, Kaustuv; and Ghosh, Rajib.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system (100) and a method for early prediction of flood-related hazards and guiding sensor deployment. The system (100) includes a processor, memory, and functional modules comprising an input module for receiving georeferenced satellite images (101), metadata, and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data (102), a pre-processing module (103), and a feature extraction module (104) using Mask R-CNN to identify flood-relevant terrain and water-related features. An adaptable model selection and inference unit (105) analyzes the extracted data using at least one of a pre-trained Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) classifier or a GIS-based model and fuses their outputs to generate robust flood risk predictions. A risk map production and visualization module (106) categorizes flood-prone and sediment-prone areas. A sensor deployment module (107) provides adaptive, energy-efficient sensor placement, while a continuous monitoring and adaptive feedback module updates risk maps using real-time sensor data, enabling an end-to-end flood-risk management process."
