High Speed Video Recording Precisely Measures Blood Cell Velocity
…Capillaroscopy systems are commonly used either to determine the shape and size of a single capillary or to examine some specific part of the capillary network. Geometric patterns that emerge from capillary structures, as well as blood cell velocity, can reflect the condition of the entire vascular system. Although blood cell velocity is among crucial diagnostic para…

…data. For instance, if there’s few data, the classical methods are the most effective. Yet, as the amount grows, we can effectively use things like machine learning and neural networks. In some fields of science, sociology, for instance, the scope of knowledge is sometimes not enough to create even classical models, as it is not even clear which assumptions we can ma…
