Rate My Professor Muhammad Shahid Farid

His research spans image and video processing, including image segmentation, fusion, gait biometrics, object detection, medical image analysis, remote sensing, human activity recognition, and 3D video technologies. With over 75 publications—48 in journals and 24 at conferences—he has garnered 1,350 citations and an h-index of 23. Key publications include “Deep Malaria Parasite Detection in Thin Blood Smear Microscopic Images” (2021, 149 citations), “Multi-focus Image Fusion Using Content Adaptive Blurring” (2018, 125 citations), and recent works on human activity recognition using wearable sensors published in Expert Systems with Applications (2025). Farid holds two international patents granted in 2018: US Patent No. 10,049,502 B2 for edge enhancement in 3D video rendering and European Patent EP3018626B1 for image segmentation. He has won prestigious grants, such as a 14 million PKR PARB project on crop nitrogen management (2022, Team Leader), HEC NRPU grants for human activity analysis (11.32 million PKR) and 3D video coding (3.1 million PKR), and several university grants. Additionally, he contributes editorially as Area Editor for PLOS One and Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Associate Editor for the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, and serves on program committees for ACM conferences.
