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

The ability to produce 3D maps with infrared radiometric information is of great interest for many applications, such as rover navigation, industrial plant monitoring, and rescue robotics. In this paper, we present a system for large-scale thermal mapping based on IR thermal images and 3D LiDAR point cloud data fusion. The alignment between the point clouds and the thermal images is carried out using the extrinsic camera-to-LiDAR parameters, obtained by means of a dedicated calibration process. Rover's trajectory, which is necessary for point cloud registration, is obtained by means of a LiDAR Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm. Finally, the registered and merged thermal point clouds are represented through an OcTree data structure, where each voxel is associated with the average temperature of the 3D points contained within. Furthermore, the paper presents in detail the method for determining extrinsic parameters, which is based on the identification of a hot cardboard box. Both methods were validated in a laboratory environment and outdoors. It is shown that the developed system is capable of locating a thermal object with an accuracy of up to 9 cm in a 45 m map size with a voxelization of 14 cm.
