MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024384 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on March 1, for 'a geohazard prediction system for assessing rockfall and landslide risk.'
Inventor(s) include Valarmathi B; Srinivasa Gupta N; Adhithi Subramaniam; and Sandra Charles.
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: "The present invention relates to a geohazard prediction system is disclosed for assessing rockfall and landslide risk through integrated numerical and visual analysis. the system comprises a quantitative stability prediction module configured to process tabular geophysical and geotechnical parameters of a slope and to generate a numerical Factor of Safety representing theoretical slope stability, and a visual landslide detection module configured to analyze multi-spectral satellite imagery to produce pixel-level segmentation masks identifying landslide or rockfall regions. the modules operate as distinct artificial intelligence components trained on different data modalities and are coupled through a fusion and assessment layer that combines numerical stability outputs with spatial detection results to deliver an integrated geohazard assessment. an interactive assessment interface enables user-driven scenario analysis, including modification of geophysical parameters for what-if simulations and on-demand analysis of user-supplied satellite imagery. the system provides complementary numerical and spatial outputs to support comprehensive, accurate, and operationally flexible geohazard risk evaluation."
