MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024531 A) filed by Chilakapati Anil Kumar, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, on March 2, for 'system and method for digital transformation mapping of vernacular houses using multi-parameter feature extraction and temporal analysis.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Venkata Krishna Kumar Sadhu; Prof. Dr Ramesh Srikonda; Prof. Dr Kailasa Rao M; and Ar Tadiboina Samantha Kumar.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for digitally mapping architectural transformation in vernacular houses across multiple time periods. Architectural data corresponding to different temporal states of a vernacular house is acquired and preprocessed to ensure temporal alignment. Multiple architectural parameters are extracted for each time period and compared using temporal analysis to identify alterations, additions, or removals of vernacular components. Component-wise transformation indices are computed to quantify the extent of architectural change, and the results are presented through visual transformation maps, matrices, and assessment reports. The invention provides an objective, repeatable, and scalable framework for tracking vernacular housing transformation over time, supporting heritage conservation, rural housing monitoring, architectural documentation, and planning decision-making."
