MUMBAI, India, April 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421076392 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on Oct. 8, 2024, for 'method and system for monitoring analoguegauges using computer vision operations.'

Inventor(s) include Thorat, Tushar Shamarao; Santhanam, Sivakumar Kuppusamy; and Kumara, Likhith Prasanna.

The application for the patent was published on April 10, under issue no. 15/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The embodiments of the present disclosure herein address unresolved problems of analog gauges including manual reading errors, lack of data logging, and difficulty in remote monitoring. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for monitoring analogue gauges using a series of computer vision operations. The invention is a system and method for identifying analog gauge using Hough transform to identify circular patterns in an image to detect scale and then using circular segmentation method to detect needle pattern. The system is configured to digitize the overall process of capturing recording and analyzing meter readings and alert in case of anomalies. The system provides a generic statistical way of solving the problem of identifying analog gauge and then identifying min/max scale with meter readings."
