MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048268 A) filed by Dr. Santhosh Kumar Balan; Ms. Biruduraju Naganjali; Mr. B. Adikeshava Reddy; and Ms. Dummu Sanjana, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 15, for 'agro-leaf guardian: an artificial intelligence-based plant health monitoring and advisory system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Santhosh Kumar Balan; Ms. Biruduraju Naganjali; Mr. B. Adikeshava Reddy; and Ms. Dummu Sanjana.
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: "The present invention discloses an artificial intelligence-based plant health monitoring and advisory system for automated detection and management of plant diseases using leaf images. The system comprises a user interface for image acquisition, an image processing module for preprocessing and segmentation, and a classification module utilizing deep learning techniques including convolutional neural networks and transfer learning models. Extracted features from processed images are analyzed to identify disease types with associated confidence scores. A decision module evaluates prediction reliability and triggers either automated advisory generation or expert validation. The advisory module provides disease-specific treatment recommendations and preventive measures. The system further incorporates cloud-based storage and an active learning mechanism for continuous model improvement. The invention enables real-time, accurate, and scalable plant disease diagnosis, thereby enhancing agricultural productivity and supporting precision farming practices."
