MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641073616 A) filed by R. M. K. College Of Engineering And Technology on June 13, 2026, for A Multimodal Vision And Sensor Fusion System For Automated Industrial Defect Detection And Product Quality Evaluation.
Inventor includes Dr Maria Michael Visuwasam L.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a multimodal vision and sensor fusion system for automated industrial defect detection and product quality evaluation. The system integrates industrial imaging devices and multiple sensing technologies including thermal, ultrasonic, vibration, acoustic, laser profiling, pressure, and environmental sensors. Acquired multimodal data undergo synchronization, preprocessing, feature extraction, and intelligent fusion using deep learning architectures, transformer- based attention networks, and artificial intelligence algorithms. The system performs defect localization, segmentation, classification, severity estimation, and quality evaluation in real time. A predictive analytics engine identifies recurring defect trends, predicts future quality issues, and recommends process optimization measures. Inspection results are communicated through industrial communication protocols to manufacturing execution systems, enterprise resource planning systems, and Industrial Internet of Things platforms. The invention significantly improves inspection accuracy, reduces false alarms, enhances manufacturing productivity, supports Industry 4.0 implementation, and enables autonomous quality assurance across diverse industrial manufacturing environments.
