MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017066 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 16, for 'system and method for real-time multimodal anomaly detection in monitored physical environments.'

Inventor(s) include Gayathri Devi S; Bipra Biswas; Aanchal Goswami; and Jayant Nayal.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a system (102) for real-time multimodal anomaly detection in a monitored physical environment is disclosed. The system (102) includes a processor (202) and a memory (204) coupled to the processor (202). The processor (202) receives audio data from audio sensors (112) and video data from visual sensors (114) deployed in the environment. The processor (202) synchronizes and fuses the received audio and video data in real-time and analyzes the fused audio-visual data to learn normal behavioral patterns and identify deviations indicative of anomalous events. The processor (202) further classifies the anomalous events into predefined categories including violence, gunshots, traffic accidents, abnormal crowd behavior, or infrastructure damage. Upon detection of at least one anomalous event, the system (102) automatically generates and transmits a real-time alert to one or more emergency response systems, the alert including an event type, a location of the event, and a timestamp."
