High-Precision Log-Ratio Spot Position Detection Algorithm with a Quadrant Detector under Different SNR Environments.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 atmospheric laser communication, a beam is transmitted through an atmospheric channel, and the photocurrent output from a quadrant detector (QD) used as the tracking sensor fluctuates significantly. To ensure uninterrupted communication and to adapt to such fluctuations, in this paper we apply logarithmic amplifiers to process the output signals of a QD. To further improve the measurement accuracy of the spot position, we firstly propose an integral infinite log-ratio algorithm (IILRA) and an integral infinity log-ratio algorithm based on the signal-to-noise ratio (BSNR-IILRA) through analysis of the factors influencing the measurement error considering the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) parameter. Secondly, the measurement error of the two algorithms under different SNRs and their variations are analyzed. Finally, a spot position detection experiment platform is built to correctly and efficiently verify the two algorithms. The experimental results show that when the SNR is 54.10 dB, the maximum error and root mean square error of the spot position of the IILRA are 0.0054 mm and 0.0039 mm, respectively, which are less than half those of the center approximation algorithm (CAA). When the SNR is 23.88 dB, the maximum error and root mean square error of the spot position of the BSNR-IILRA are 0.0046 mm and 0.0034 mm, respectively, which are one-thirtieth and one-twentieth of the CAA, respectively. The spot position measurement accuracy of the two proposed algorithms is significantly improved compared with the CAA.
