MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611108792 A) filed by Jaypee Institute Of Information Technology on September 10, 2026, for An Edge-Ai Based Acoustic Insect Activity Detection And Pest Monitoring System.
Inventors include Dr. Hema Nagaraja; Dr. Manish Kumar Thakur; Sia Srivastava; Dev Kumar; Aditya Kumar Singh; and Siddhant Singh.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides a distributed Edge-AI based insect activity detection and pest monitoring system for real-time detection and storage environments. System comprises distributed sensing nodes having airborne acoustic, structure-coupled vibro-acoustic, and environmental sensors, an embedded processing unit, a machine-learning classification module, and communication and alert modules. System acquires insect-generated acoustic and vibration signals together with environmental parameters including temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration. The embedded processing unit performs event-triggered signal processing, feature extraction, and machine-learning classification to identify insect or activity classes. The detected events are further validated using environmental, temporal, behavioural, and vibro-acoustic information to generate an infestation confidence score and reduce false-positive detections. Validated events are communicated to a central server or user device for real-time alerts, spatial localization, and infestation analysis. System optionally includes event-triggered visual confirmation and automated pest capture, providing a low-power, scalable, and intelligent pest monitoring solution.
