1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In this paper, the dehazing algorithm is proposed using a one-channel grayscale depth image generated from a LiDAR point cloud 2D projection image. In depth image-based dehazing, the estimation of the scattering coefficient is the most important. Since scattering coefficients are used to estimate the transmission image for dehazing, the optimal coefficients for effective dehazing must be obtained depending on the level of haze generation. Thus, we estimated the optimal scattering coefficient for 100 synthetic haze images and represented the distribution between the optimal scattering coefficient and dark channels. Moreover, through linear regression of the aforementioned distribution, the equation between scattering coefficients and dark channels was estimated, enabling the estimation of appropriate scattering coefficient. Transmission image for dehazing is defined with a scattering coefficient and a grayscale depth image, obtained from LiDAR 2D projection. Finally, dehazing is performed based on the atmospheric scattering model through the defined atmospheric light and transmission image. The proposed method was quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed through simulation and image quality parameters. Qualitative analysis was conducted through YOLO v3 and quantitative analysis was conducted through MSE, PSNR, SSIM, etc. In quantitative analysis, SSIM showed an average performance improvement of 24%.
