Rate My Professor Mohamed Sedky

Mohamed's research specializations encompass video analytics, computer vision, computer networks, IP telephony, VOIP, and network security, with current interests in object recognition, object tracking, object segmentation, and face detection. He is the lead researcher of Adaptive Video Analytic technologies and founder of Spectral-360. He has filed a UK patent, a PCT patent application, and a US patent (no. 2374109, 2011) on Spectral-360 for object detection targeting security, safety, and business intelligence applications. His change detection technique was rated the best in the world by the independent website changedetection.net. Key publications include “Classification of Smart Video Surveillance Systems for Commercial Applications” in Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance (2005), “Smart Video Surveillance for Workplace Applications: Implications, Technologies and Requirements” in Proceedings of the 5th IASTED International Conference on Visualization and Image Processing (2005), and “Spectral-360: A Physics-Based Technique for Change Detection” (CVPR Workshop, 2014). He has given invited talks at management pitching events in Oxford, Birmingham, and Manchester (2012), to the North Staffs Chamber of Commerce (2011), and to the North Staffs British Computer Society (2011). AVA software has been engaged by a UK Police Authority to reduce the burden on investigators, with Spectral-360 securing contracts including the Ministry of Defence SAPIENT project, Transport for London passenger counting at Victoria station, and post-incident analysis for police authorities.
