Yeongdeungpo District Locates Missing Elderly Person in 2 Hours Using AI Search System
CCTV Tracking Initiated Upon 112 Request
System Operational Since December Last Year
The Yeongdeungpo District Integrated Control Center in Seoul announced on July 15 that it located a missing elderly person with dementia in about two hours using its 'AI-based Rapid Search System for Missing Persons.'
According to the district, when the missing person report was received at 3:57 p.m. on July 4, the 112 Situation Room requested a search for the person's travel route from the Integrated Control Center. The center analyzed past closed-circuit (CC) TV footage through its video management system to identify the individual's appearance, then entered the information into the AI rapid search system, which confirmed the missing person wandering around the Yeongdeungpo Park area.
Although the control center communicated the missing person's location to the investigation team, the individual had moved by the time the team arrived. The center conducted a new search to retrace the movements and, at approximately 5:50 p.m., spotted the missing person in a walkway between overpasses near the market. A patrol car, after receiving this updated location, arrived at the scene three minutes later and found the missing person.
The AI-based rapid search system for missing persons automatically searches and tracks distinctive features from CCTV footage to analyze movement routes. When basic information such as the missing person's appearance is entered, the system identifies the same individual. The district secured 200 million won through a Seoul city public offering to establish the system, which has been in operation since December last year.
