EventPointMesh: Human Mesh Recovery Solely From Event Point Clouds.

How much can we infer about human shape using an event camera that only detects the pixel position where the luminance changed and its timestamp? This neuromorphic vision technology captures changes in pixel values at ultra-high speeds, regardless of the variations in environmental lighting brightness. Existing methods for human mesh recovery (HMR) from event data need to utilize intensity images captured with a generic frame-based camera, rendering them vulnerable to low-light conditions, energy/memory constraints, and privacy issues. In contrast, we explore the potential of solely utilizing event data to alleviate these issues and ascertain whether it offers adequate cues for HMR, as illustrated in Fig.

Identification of a new gibberellin receptor agonist, diphegaractin, by a cell-free chemical screening system.

Gibberellin (GA) is a phytohormone that regulates various developmental processes during the plant life cycle. In this study, we identify a new GA agonist, diphegaractin, using a wheat cell-free based drug screening system with grape GA receptor. A GA-dependent interaction assay system using GA receptors and DELLA proteins from Vitis vinifera was constructed using AlphaScreen technology and cell-free produced proteins.
