MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631085469 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology Rourkela Nit Rourkela on July 13, 2026, for Computer-Implemented System And Method For Non-Invasive Affective State Analysis Of Cattle.
Inventors include Bishwal, Manoj Kumar; Panda, Santosh Kumar; and Sa, Pankaj Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to non-invasive system (100) for inferencing affective states of cattle. The non-invasive system (100) comprises an image acquisition module (102) comprising at least one digital camera sensor to capture real-time sequential images of one or more cattle in a monitored livestock environment at an assigned frame rate, a pre-processing and region identification module (104) comprising a processor to perform pre-processing and enhancement of the captured images, a tail orientation analysis module (106) connected to the pre-processing module and processes the identified tail region to extract spatio-temporal features, an ear orientation analysis module (108) configured to process the identified ear region to extract ear posture features, and a communication interface module configured to transmit the inferred affective state to a remote livestock monitoring module, the system (100) is configured to perform continuous, contactless monitoring of cattle behavior in real-time without requiring wearable sensors and manual observation.
