MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007600 A) filed by Diva Senthilnathan, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 27, for 'a multi-sensor fusion system for automated fault detection in vehicle infrastructure.'
Inventor(s) include Mrs V Radha; Dr T Kalaikumaran; R Sree Gayathree; T Tanika; R Uma Bharathi; M Yogadharshini; T Yokeshwari; and R Yuva Sri.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This paper presents a comprehensive automated imaging-based system designed to revolutionize the paradigm of transportation infrastructure maintenance. The proposed solution integrates a multi-sensor suite-including high-resolution optical cameras, 3D LiDAR, and thermal infrared cameras-mounted on a survey vehicle to perform continuous, high-speed condition assessment. This hardware is coupled with a sophisticated analytical core featuring synchronized deep learning algorithms that perform multi-task analysis on 2D, 3D, and thermal data to automatically detect, classify, and quantify a wide range of surface and sub-surface faults with a high degree of accuracy. By processing data in real-time at the edge, the system generates immediate, geotagged fault reports, transforming a traditionally reactive, manual, and subjective inspection process into a proactive, data-driven science. While acknowledging limitations such as high initial cost and environmental sensitivities, the system offers a transformative approach to infrastructure management, promising significant long-term benefits in public safety, resource allocation, and lifecycle cost savings by enabling precise, preventative maintenance."
