Experience

 

Industry :

2010-Current  CTO  & board member (Arti-Media) Technologies Pte Ltd, Singapore

Arti-Media is a spin-off of ArtiVIsion (SGX:5nk). Arti-Media developed a unique tool for new advertising format over an OTT platform which enables publishers and TV broadcasters to analyze their content (of the videos) and plant the ads at the best and optimal location onto the video, while no human intervenient is needed. Arti-Media has a strong presence over many known publishers.

·         Leading the technology IP of the Co, from its initial till implementation phase. 

2004- 2010   C.T.O & board member, ArtiVision Technologies Ltd (SGX:5nk), Singapore

ArtiVision has developed a novel computer vision models for surveillance systems, ArtiVision was considered the first company to implement artificial intelligent onto it the edges devices for surveillance systems.

·         Designed & developed the core models for the video content analysis engine.

·         Locate target surveillance existing applications over the market to be used by the Co.

 

2001-2003     VP Research & Development, InfoWrap surveillance systems, Israel.

InfoWrap specialized in video security software for developing surveillance and monitoring systems.

·         Developed and implemented the intelligent video surveillance core engine. Engine included algorithm for motion analysis, fast object tracking, blob matching, and adaptive segmentation of still images.

·         Developed and implemented algorithms for the problem of change detection between images based on illumination independent models.

 

1999-2001     Head of algorithm group, ImageID, Israel

ImageID develops and markets products for image recognition of event photos.

·         Developed the object recognition engine where object is predefined as a unique pattern codes. Engine included algorithms for fast image segmentation on high resolution inputs, blob extraction, color pattern recognition, and object reconstruction.

 

1996-1999 Algorithm team leader, Fruitonics (Spin-off of El-Op), Israel

Fruitonics developed a machine for automated visual inspection of fruits. The fruits were classified according to their quality, size, shape and color.

·         Developed the machine vision core engine which included algorithm for: 3D-geometric analysis of the fruit, object (defect) detection, defect recognition and fruit classification using neural networks. The engine designed to work under strict real-time constraints.

·         Implemented the complete engine code in “C++” using Matlab Toolboxes library.
