Biography
Hi! My name is Seyed Mohammadreza Mousavi, and I am a University Lecturer at Sadjad Industrial University of Mashhad, where I teach courses on Python programming, IoT systems, and foundations of computer engineering.
Alongside my academic work, I am currently part of the Camera Calibration Team at Software Motion, where I focus on SLAM-based calibration, ROS integration, and fisheye surround-view camera systems.
Before this, I was a member of the Perception Team at Software Motion, where I led and contributed to projects involving real-time object detection, deep learning-based tracking, and multi-camera integration. My work has spanned from academic research to hands-on development of intelligent visual perception systems used in industrial and robotics applications.
My research interests include computer vision, deep learning, SLAM, and 3D scene understanding. I enjoy designing systems that combine robust geometry with modern learning techniques, and Iām especially passionate about turning complex AI pipelines into intuitive and interpretable tools. Outside of work, you can find me exploring visual technology, teaching students, or geeking out about the latest in perception and robotics.

Lithium Battery State of Health Estimation: A Novel Octave and LSTM Hybrid Neural Network Approach
Abstract: The lithium battery (LIB) has emerged as a prominent area of research in energy and industrial applications, due to its superior energy density and efficient energy delivery capabilities. This study addresses the critical requirement for accurate State of Health (SOH) estimation as a significant challenge. The primary objective of this study is to utilize key battery health characteristic parameters to improve the accuracy and computational speed of SOH. Significant gaps have been identified in recent methodologies, particularly in terms of SOH estimation accuracy, computational speed, and simulation parameters. To address these limitations, a novel hybrid neural network (NN) approach is proposed, integrating octave convolution (OCT) and long short-term memory (LSTM). To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in the optimization process, a comparative analysis is conducted against Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), OCT, LSTM, and CNN-LSTM architectures. The results indicate a significant reduction in the mean squared error (MSE), decreasing from 80.21 percent in CNN to 0.0758 percent in the proposed OCT-LSTM model. Furthermore, the root mean square error (RMSE) exhibits a substantial reduction of 64.91 percent and 58.14 percent compared to the LSTM and CNN-LSTM models, respectively. The simulation parameters used in this study were reduced from 41,228 for the CNN-LSTM model to 38,668 for the OCT-LSTM model. Empirical results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in the number of parameters, MSE, RMSE, and estimation accuracy. These findings highlight the method's enhanced efficiency, computational speed, and precision, emphasizing its potential as a significant advancement in this domain.
