MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611064614 A) filed by Chandigarh University on May 22, 2026, for An Ai-Integrated Mobile System For Early Detection Of Apple Scab Disease.
Inventors include Dr. Kumud Sachdeva; and Dr. Neena Devi.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) integrated mobile system and method for early detection of apple scab disease using leaf image analysis. The system comprises a smartphone (101) serving as a core processing and imaging unit, an integrated camera module (102) configured to capture images of apple leaves, and optional accessories including a macro lens attachment (103), a colour reference card (104), and a protective case (105). A processing unit executed on the smartphone performs image acquisition guidance, image preprocessing including normalization and colour correction, and disease detection using a trained convolutional neural network optimized for on-device inference. The system further includes a geolocation and mapping component for associating diagnostic results with geographic coordinates and time information, and an optional data synchronization module for selective transmission of stored diagnostic data to a remote server. The invention enables real-time, offline detection of apple scab disease.
