MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631052055 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 23, for 'ai-driven uav system for stray dog monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Debrupa Pal; Dr. Sudakshina Mandal; and Ms. Rupa Saha.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An autonomous AI-driven system for monitoring stray dog populations comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with multi-spectral sensors and an edge-computing module. The system executes real-time animal detection, classification, and behavioral analysis using deep learning algorithms optimized for onboard processing. By fusing thermal and visual data, the invention identifies stray canines, assesses their physical condition, and maps their geospatial distribution without human intervention. Collected data is geotagged and transmitted to a centralized platform for the generation of population density heatmaps and predictive behavioral reports. The invention facilitates efficient, safe, and humane management of free-roaming animal populations in complex urban environments."
