MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122252 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 4, 2025, for 'real-time lane and hazard detection system using computer vision.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Chandru Vignesh C; Mr. Shreyash Ashok Pachpol; Mr. Yash Samar Krishna; and Mr. Vishwas Mishra.
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 real-time lane and hazard detection system comprising a camera module configured to capture video frames of a road scene from a vehicle-mounted perspective, an image processing module configured to process the video frames to detect lane boundaries using computer vision techniques, a hazard detection module configured to detect road surface hazards, and a real-time processing module configured to process frames continuously and generate visual feedback indicating detected lane boundaries and hazards. The image processing module converts frames to grayscale and applies a region of interest mask focusing on a predetermined road area. The system performs Canny edge detection to identify intensity gradients corresponding to lane boundaries and applies Hough Line Transform to detect straight line segments representing lane markings. The hazard detection module applies adaptive thresholding and morphological operations to detect potholes."
