The research interest and expertise is focused on the applications of computer vision and image/video processing for analysis, understanding, and interpretation of visual contents (Images and Videos). Current (and previous) research topics include:
- Medical Image/Video Analysis and Health-related applications, including:
- in-vivo Digital Pathology (e.g. Detection and Classification of BE).
- Tumor Lesion Characterization (using Radiologist terminologies).
- Lesion detection, segmentation, and classification.
- Integration of knowledge with computer vision for semantic analysis and diagnosis.
- CBIR and fusion of multimodal data for diagnosis.
- Minimally-invasive Personalized Health screening & monitoring.
- Video Analysis: Matching, Similarity, annotation, scene understanding and Semantic Analysis.
- Contents-Based Video Retrieval (CBVR).
- Contents-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR).
- Handwriting recognition, especially in Arabic.
