Inventor(s) include Dr. Sharad Kisan Nirgude; Prof. Vishal Promod Chaudhari; Dr. Manisha Ganesh Shinde; Mr. Ayush Sunil Nandre; Mr. Vishwas Vinayak Sonawane; Mr. Rushikesh Netaji Shinde; Ms. Sanskruti Pankaj Patil; Mr. Kedu Pundlik Nathe; and Ms. Pragati Yuvaraj Sonawane.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This accomplishment is related to a cutting-edge forest surveillance technique known as Tree Radar, which has the capability to recognize, track, and monitor covert human activity in locations that are densely forested and isolated. Each sensor node in the system is equipped with thermal imaging, foliage-penetrating radar, and artificial intelligence processing at the network's edge. The system is comprised of a collection of sensor nodes that are attached to trees. During low light or severe weather circumstances, the thermal imaging module is able to identify human heat signatures, while the radar sensor is able to detect movements and micro-Doppler signals through dense foliage. Because each sensor node is responsible for local target identification, categorization, and tracking, the transmission bandwidth and the number of false alarms are reduced effectively. In order to join and combine the data from several sensors, the nodes might make use of global positioning system (GPS) and time synchronization. In situations where a target is identified by a large number of nodes, triangulation techniques can be utilized to determine its precise location. Verified warnings and evidence packages, which comprise timestamps, geolocation data, and sensor metadata, are transmitted to a central monitoring station via a secure mesh communication network for the purpose of conducting an immediate risk assessment. Through the utilization of energy-harvesting technology that incorporates solar and vibration-based sources, the system is designed to be deployed in remote forest locations in a way that is both long-lasting and requires no subsequent maintenance. By integrating discrete tree-mounted deployment with multi-modal sensing, edge intelligence, and secure communication, Tree Radar enhances situational awareness and early threat detection. As a result, it reduces the amount of work that is required and minimizes the number of false positives. When it comes to security and defense forces, such as the Indian Army, this concept is particularly useful in forested border regions and other high-risk situations that require surveillance that is both continuous and watchful."
