Missing Adults: On Average, Three Found Dead Per Day – How to Avoid Missing the Golden Hour?
Every year, around 1,000 adults reported missing to the police are found dead. According to the National Police Agency, the number of missing persons reports filed for adults aged 18 and over was 75,432 in 2019, 67,612 in 2020, and 66,259 in 2021. These figures are 1.71 times higher than reports filed for missing children and others during the same period.
In missing persons cases, the golden hour is the first 24 hours. If a person is not found within this time frame, the likelihood of locating them decreases rapidly. This urgency is especially critical as most missing persons are vulnerable groups, such as elderly individuals with dementia or children.
For adults, even if a missing report is filed, they are often categorized as runaways unless there is clear evidence of a crime, making it difficult for the police to initiate an immediate search. Unlike missing children, there is no legal basis to track the location of an adult’s mobile phone. As a result, the search for missing adults largely relies on CCTV footage and door-to-door inquiries, which can be limited in effectiveness. Additionally, it takes a significant amount of time for monitoring staff to manually review hundreds of CCTV videos, hindering swift responses.
MarkAny's Intelligent Selective Monitoring is a solution that analyzes CCTV footage to locate missing persons, using AI technology specifically designed for local monitoring centers. The system leverages GIS for precise video analysis, identifying the location of specific objects and extracting snapshots for route tracking. It ensures a stable environment by preventing VMS overload, allowing for rapid analysis of as much video footage as possible. The system also includes object tracking masking and invisible watermarking to protect personal information and prevent video leaks.
By implementing MarkAny's Intelligent Selective Monitoring System, monitoring staff no longer need to manually oversee hundreds of CCTV cameras. The system analyzes nearby CCTV footage based on the missing person's appearance, enabling police officers to locate and track the individual's path using a re-identification AI model. This allows for quick and accurate searches, increasing the chances of finding the missing person within the golden hour. In addition to missing persons cases, the system can also monitor for fire detection, suicide prevention, and crime tracking in real-time, contributing to public and social safety.
Jo Myeong-dol, head of MarkAny's New Business Development Division, said, "The MarkAny Intelligent Selective Monitoring System is already being used by several local governments and police stations across the country, boasting high detection rates through our self-developed AI model. We are continuously improving accuracy through ongoing AI algorithm enhancements. In the future, we believe this technology will evolve to analyze and predict human behavior, prevent crimes, and even forecast disasters. Please look forward to MarkAny’s progress in developing technologies directly connected to public safety."
