MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023727 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Fe. 27, for 'portable handheld apparatus for real-time object identification.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Piyush Moghe; Prof. Vishal Kadam; Om Prakash Thakur; and Avni Choudhary.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A portable handheld apparatus (100) for real-time object identification comprises an RGB image sensor (104) configured to capture color image frames and an infrared time-of-flight depth sensor (106) positioned adjacent to the RGB image sensor (104) and configured to transmit modulated infrared pulses and measure phase shift of reflected infrared pulses to generate a depth map. A hardware processor (108) is operatively coupled to the RGB image sensor (104) and the infrared time-of-flight depth sensor (106). The hardware processor (108) is configured to receive RGB image data and depth data, fuse the RGB image data with the depth data to generate a multi-channel input tensor comprising red-green-blue color channels and a depth channel, execute quantized neural network parameters on the multi-channel input tensor to determine an object classification and a distance measurement, and generate tactile feedback signals and audio output signals to enable real-time object identification for visually impaired people."
