Vision Restoration Becomes Druggable
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Tochitsky et al. (2016) have identified the mechanism by which small-molecule photoswitches enter and specifically activate retinal OFF-ganglion cells in degenerated retinas. This drug development is a tremendous step toward the treatment of blindness, regardless of the underlying mutation.

Caught in the Chasm: Literary Representation and Suicide among People with Impaired Vision
Both fictional and factual discourses have situated visual impairment in a causal relationship with suicide. The paper compares samples of these discourses in order to suggest that the fiction may have some bearing on the facts. This alternative explanation becomes all the more thought-provoking when it is considered that not only visual impairment but visual restoration has been posited as a c...
متن کاملExtended fuzzy background modeling for moving vehicle detection using infrared vision
Running average is a simple and effective background modeling method that generates adaptive background image for moving object detection. Fuzzy Running Average (FRA) improves the selectivity of Standard Running Average (SRA). However, its background restoration rate is slow. This leads to false object detection when a static object becomes dynamic. To overcome this problem, an Extended Fuzzy R...
متن کاملDepth of Capture Volume Extension by Constrained Least Square-Based Image Restoration, Quantitative Evaluation
Using quantitative evaluation, this paper shows that constrained least square (CLS)-based image restoration extends the depth of capture volume (DoCV) significantly, and suggests that performance degradation characteristics of a feature extractor by defocus blurring should be considered while developing unconstrained iris recognition systems. When developing an unconstrained iris recognition sy...
متن کاملUnsupervised Color Film Restoration Using Adaptive Color Equalization
Chemical processing of celluloid based cinematic film, becomes unstable with time, unless they are stored at low temperatures. Some defects, such as bleaching on color movies, are difficult to solve using photochemical restoration methods. In these cases, a digital restoration tool can be a very convenient solution. Unfortunately, for old movies color and dynamic range digital restoration is us...
متن کاملA practical approach to image restoration for computer vision
The objective of this paper is to present a practical approach to image restoration for computer vision applications. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of restoration processes to images obtained from a commonly employed camera (vidicon) possessing typical degradation sources. A brief review of applicable standard image processing techniques is given in conjunction with the descri...
