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

Skeleton data, which is often used in the HCI field, is a data structure that can efficiently express human poses and gestures because it consists of 3D positions of joints. The advancement of RGB-D sensors, such as Kinect sensors, enabled the easy capture of skeleton data from depth or RGB images. However, when tracking a target with a single sensor, there is an occlusion problem causing the quality of invisible joints to be randomly degraded. As a result, multiple sensors should be used to reliably track a target in all directions over a wide range. In this paper, we proposed a new method for combining multiple inaccurate skeleton data sets obtained from multiple sensors that capture a target from different angles into a single accurate skeleton data. The proposed algorithm uses density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) to prevent noise-added inaccurate joint candidates from participating in the merging process. After merging with the inlier candidates, we used Kalman filter to denoise the tremble error of the joint's movement. We evaluated the proposed algorithm's performance using the best view as the ground truth. In addition, the results of different sizes for the DBSCAN searching area were analyzed. By applying the proposed algorithm, the joint position accuracy of the merged skeleton improved as the number of sensors increased. Furthermore, highest performance was shown when the searching area of DBSCAN was 10 cm.
