Real-time evidence management system for code enforcement using body-worn and vehicle-mounted ai cameras

A system, comprising:

• a body-worn camera wearable by a code enforcement officer configured to capture video data of a real property together with a geospatial coordinate and a timestamp;
• a vehicle-deployed drone launchable from a vehicle and configured to capture an aerial image and the aerial video data of the real property together with the geospatial coordinates and the timestamp;
• and
• an evidence management server communicatively coupled with the body-worn camera and the vehicle-deployed drone through a network, the evidence management server configured to:
• receive the video data from the body-worn camera and the aerial video data from the vehicle-deployed drone;
• time-synchronize the video data and the aerial video data;
• identify a parcel number associated with the real property based on the geospatial coordinates;
• compare a time-synchronized data with the video data associated with an immediately previous timestamp for the parcel number to detect a modification to at least one of a physical structure and a landscaping;
• evaluate a detected modification against digitized municipal code sections and cross-reference the detected modification with the real property and permit records retrieved from a municipal database;
• generate a real-time alert responsive to a determination of non-compliance;
• and
• create an enforcement notice comprising geo-referenced imagery captured by at least one of the body-worn camera and the vehicle-deployed drone.

A computer-implemented method for real-time evidence management, the method comprising:

• storing in a jurisdictional code database a jurisdictional regulation in an evidence management server comprising any one or more of a planning code, a building code, a construction code, a public works code, a cleanliness code, an administrative code, a statutory code, a fire code, a police code, an ordinance, a safety code, a housing code, a municipal code,
• capturing a video data of a real property using at least one of a body-worn camera worn by a code enforcement officer, a vehicle-mounted camera in a vehicle of the code enforcement officer, and a vehicle-deployed drone launched from the vehicle, the video data including a geospatial coordinate within a jurisdictional boundary and a timestamp of capture;
• transmitting the video data, the geospatial coordinates, and a timestamp from a data acquisition device to the evidence management server through a network;
• storing the video data together with the geospatial coordinates and the timestamp in the evidence management server;
• identifying a parcel number in the jurisdictional boundary that corresponds to the real property captured in the video data based on the geospatial coordinates;
• and
• determining whether a violation of the jurisdictional regulation has occurred by comparing a timestamped video data with the video data from an immediately previous timestamp associated with the same parcel number to detect a modification to at least one of a physical structure and a landscaping of a parcel.
