MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051527 A) filed by Bgs College Of Engineering And Technology, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on April 22, for 'a method and system for generating a feature map for histopathological breast images.'
Inventor(s) include Ravikumar Guralamata Krishnegowda; Govindaiah Thimma Raju; Manjula Gangadhariah; Asha Singanahalli Nagaraju; Ramya Siddaraju; Divya Shree Prakash; Lakshmi Arjun; and Shrisha Venkatapura Chikka Obalesha.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Histopathological breast image analysis involves processing high-resolution tissue images containing complex spatial and textural patterns, wherein conventional techniques often fail to efficiently extract meaningful features and handle large data volumes. In light of these limitations, the present disclosure provides a method and system for generating a feature map for histopathological breast images using a feature map generation system (101). The method comprises receiving one or more histopathological breast images, pre-processing the images through colour normalization, resizing, and intensity normalization, and segmenting the images into patches of predefined dimensions. Features are extracted from each image patch using a convolutional neural network comprising convolutional, pooling, and fully connected layers. The extracted features are processed to generate intermediate feature maps, which are aggregated to produce a final feature map (105) corresponding to each image. The generated feature maps provide a structured representation of spatial and textural characteristics of the histopathological breast images for computational analysis."
