MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007234 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on Jan. 24, for 'a cross-backbone knowledge harmonization framework for automated pigeon pea leaf disease classification.'
Inventor(s) include Madhukar Rathod; and Dr. Sudha Rani V.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention is a cross-backbone knowledge harmonization system that is used to classify pigeon pea leaf disease automatically. The framework combines complementary visual representations acquired through various backbone models to produce a single and discriminative feature space to identify the disease. The invention enhances the accuracy of classification, its strength, and generalization of the classification with varying environmental and imaging conditions by balancing the specific knowledge of the backbone instead of depending on a single representation. The system consists of image acquisition, preprocessing, backbone feature extraction, knowledge harmonization, and classification modules, which allow the system to be scaled to agricultural diagnostic environments. The flexible and streamlined architecture facilitates real time as well as offline functionality and minimizes the computational load. Its invention will offer a solid and feasible means of identifying plant diseases automatically, which will assist in precision agriculture and sustainable crop management."
