New Delhi (India), July 10: Do you envision a world where missing children can be swiftly found in bustling public spaces, where security systems can instantly identify potential threats, and where personalised shopping experiences cater to each individual? Thanks to a groundbreaking invention from SRM University-AP, this vision is becoming a reality.
SRM University-AP proudly announces a significant achievement by Dr. Ashu Abdul, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. His innovative invention, “A system and a method for automatic face detection and media capturing,” with Application Number: 202241032986, has been granted a patent by Indian Patent Office. This cutting-edge technology, built using OpenCV, sets new standards in automatic face capture, demonstrating capabilities that extend beyond human vision.
The Core Innovation
The heart of this invention lies in its ability to detect, track, and identify human faces from images captured by digital cameras in real-time without the need for supplementary software. This breakthrough promises transformative applications across various real-world scenarios, showcasing the remarkable potential of advanced face recognition technology.
Real-Life Applications
One compelling application of this technology is in enhancing security across multiple environments. In settings such as airports, public transportation systems, shopping malls, and busy streets, the ability to quickly and accurately identify individuals can significantly bolster security measures. Law enforcement agencies can use this technology to identify suspects or missing persons more efficiently, potentially averting threats before they escalate.
In the context of missing persons, particularly children, this system’s real-time capabilities can be life-saving. By scanning and analysing faces from CCTV footage or other digital sources, authorities can swiftly locate and identify missing individuals, reducing the time lost in manual searches and increasing the chances of a safe recovery.
Transitioning from security, the technology also offers significant advantages in crime prevention and investigation. By detecting and tracking faces in crowded areas, it can help identify potential threats or suspicious individuals, enabling proactive interventions. This capability is invaluable for maintaining public safety and deterring criminal activities in high-density environments.
Call for Technology Transfer
