MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531110982 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Patna, Bihar, on Nov. 13, for 'multi-scale polyp segmentation with edge-aware channel selection.'
Inventor(s) include Upadhyay, Ashwini Kumar; and Bhandari, Ashish Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 28, under issue no. 48/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a system (100) for polyp segmentation in endoscopic imaging and a method (300) for accurate polyp boundary delineation. The system (100) includes an encoder (104), a channel selection unit (108) performing adaptive feature recalibration based on inter-channel dependency analysis, a boundary detection unit (110) generating an edge map for explicit boundary guidance, a bottleneck processing unit (112) with transformation blocks (112-2) capturing global context through hierarchical self-attention, a classification unit (114) assigning images to size-based classes (116), and a decoder (118) integrating features through bypass pathways (122) to generate a segmentation mask (120). Unlike conventional single-task segmentation approaches, the multi-task learning framework jointly optimizes segmentation, classification, and boundary detection objectives through complementary supervision signals, achieving superior accuracy across diverse polyp sizes and morphologies while maintaining computational efficiency suitable for real-time clinical deployment in computer-aided colonoscopy detection systems."
