Inventors include Karthik G M; Ponharish Kumar J; Krishn Sumit Agarwal; Tharakesharasu Thennarasu; Karunakaram Nitya Ramita; and Ark Khandelwal.
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-based smart cabinet for automated food analysis and dietary guidance. The system integrates deep learning-based object detection, adaptive precision imaging, gas sensing, distributed force sensing, and nutritional database mapping within a hermetically enclosed cabinet structure. The cabinet automatically identifies fruits and vegetables, determines spatial position, evaluates ripeness, estimates weight, and computes nutritional values without manual intervention. Adaptive imaging and coordinate-based sensing improve feature extraction and multi-object discrimination, while sensor-fusion algorithms enhance analytical reliability under varying environmental conditions. The system further incorporates predictive learning, calibration stability, and layered verification logic for improved long-term performance. Nutritional analytics and dietary recommendations are presented through an interactive user interface. The invention provides an intelligent, scalable, consumer-friendly, and autonomous dietary intelligence platform that transforms conventional food storage into an active food analysis and health-monitoring environment.
