    Blockchain's potential to revolutionize supply chain and logistics with transparency and equitable stakeholder engagement is significant. However, challenges like scalability, privacy, and interoperability persist. This study explores the scarcity of real-world blockchain implementations in supply chain and logistics since we have not witnessed many real-world deployments of blockchain-based solutions in the field. Puzzled by this, we integrate technology, user experience, and operational efficiency to illuminate the complex landscape of blockchain integration. We present blockchain-based solutions in three use cases, comparing them with alternative designs and analyzing them in terms of technical, economic, and operational aspects. Insights from a tailored questionnaire of 50 questions addressed to practitioners and experts offer crucial perspectives on blockchain adoption. One of the key findings from our work shows that half of the companies interviewed agree that they will miss the potential for competitive advantage if they do not invest in blockchain technology, and 61% of the companies surveyed claimed that their customers ask for more transparency in supply chain-related transactions. However, only one-third of the companies were aware of the main features of blockchain technology, which shows a lack of knowledge among the companies that may lead to a weaker blockchain adaption in supply chain use cases. Our readers should note that our study is specifically contextualized in a Netherlands-funded national project. We hope that researchers as well as stakeholders in supply chain and logistics can benefit from the insights of our work.

    HyperE2VID: improving event-based video reconstruction via hypernetworks

    Event-based cameras are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to capture high-speed motion with low latency and high dynamic range. However, generating videos from events remains challenging due to the highly sparse and varying nature of event data. To address this, in this study, we propose HyperE2VID, a dynamic neural network architecture for event-based video reconstruction. Our approach uses hypernetworks to generate per-pixel adaptive filters guided by a context fusion module that combines information from event voxel grids and previously reconstructed intensity images. We also employ a curriculum learning strategy to train the network more robustly. Our comprehensive experimental evaluations across various benchmark datasets reveal that HyperE2VID not only surpasses current state-of-the-art methods in terms of reconstruction quality but also achieves this with fewer parameters, reduced computational requirements, and accelerated inference times.
