Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5) is an anti-inflammatory adipokine that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity and its metabolic complications.

Blink detection and classification can provide a very useful clinical indicator, because of its relation with many neurological ophthalmological conditions. In this work, we propose system that automatically detects classifies blinks as "complete" or "incomplete" in high resolution image sequences zoomed into the participants' face, acquired during examination using near-Infrared illumination. This method utilizes state-of-the-art (DeepLabv3+) deep learning encoder-decoder neural...
