Cover Story: Diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic disease characterized by chronically elevated blood glucose levels, affects about 29 million Americans and more than 422 million adults all over the world. In this work, we highlight recent advances in the applications of computational models in investigating the abnormal properties of diabetic blood from the cellular to the vascular level. We hope this work can motivate and steer the development of new models in this area and shift the attention of the community from conventional laboratory studies to integrated experimental and computational investigations, thereby providing new inspirations for the development of more advanced tools to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis and pathology of DM. View this paper

Moving Object Detection and Tracking by Event Frame from Neuromorphic Vision Sensors

  • Jiang Zhao,
  • Shilong Ji,
  • Zhihao Cai,
  • Yiwen Zeng and
  • Yingxun Wang

Fast movement of objects and illumination changes may lead to a negative effect on camera images for object detection and tracking. Event cameras are neuromorphic vision sensors that capture the vitality of a scene, mitigating data redundancy and lat...
