MUMBAI, India, Sept. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641111375 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology Tiruchirappalli on September 17, 2026, for Deep Learning-Based Automated Detection And Quantification System For Vibrio Colonies On Selective Agar Media.
Inventors include Parineetha Viswanaath; Nethraa V S; Amirtha Varshini P; and Dr. A Baskaran.
The application for the patent was published on September 25, 2026, under issue no. 39/2026.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a deep learning-based automated system for detection, classification, and quantification of Vibrio species colonies grown on selective agar media. The system employs high-resolution image acquisition, preprocessing through patch segmentation, object detection using convolutional neural networks, and post-processing for accurate enumeration. The invention enables differentiation between sucrose-fermenting and non-fermenting Vibrio species based on colony color. The system significantly reduces manual counting errors and provides rapid, reliable results for marine pathogen monitoring, aquaculture, seafood safety, and public health surveillance.
