MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122898 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'federated ensemble learning system for bone fracture detection using oriented bounding box models.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Arumuga Arun R; Dr. Rampriya R S; Dr. S M Farooq; Mr. Aditya Anand; and Aprupshri S R.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a federated ensemble learning system for bone fracture detection. The system includes a plurality of local nodes, each local node configured to train a specialized fracture detection model on an anatomical region-specific dataset while maintaining medical data locally without sharing raw medical data with other local nodes. The system includes a global aggregation node (1) configured to receive model weight updates from the plurality of local nodes and to perform federated averaging of the model weight updates to generate a global ensemble model. The system includes a confidence-based weighting mechanism configured to dynamically assign higher weights to local models with higher confidence scores for each input X-ray image. Each local node implements oriented bounding box detection capability for fracture localization. The system has a modular architecture enabling addition of new fracture classification capabilities without retraining existing models."
