OMC-SLIO: Online Multiple Calibrations Spinning LiDAR Inertial Odometry.
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
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is often combined with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to get the LiDAR inertial odometry (LIO) for robot localization and mapping. In order to apply LIO efficiently and non-specialistically, self-calibration LIO is a hot research topic in the related community. Spinning LiDAR (SLiDAR), which uses an additional rotating mechanism to spin a common LiDAR and scan the surrounding environment, achieves a large field of view (FoV) with low cost. Unlike common LiDAR, in addition to the calibration between the IMU and the LiDAR, the self-calibration odometer for SLiDAR must also consider the mechanism calibration between the rotating mechanism and the LiDAR. However, existing self-calibration LIO methods require the LiDAR to be rigidly attached to the IMU and do not take the mechanism calibration into account, which cannot be applied to the SLiDAR. In this paper, we propose firstly a novel self-calibration odometry scheme for SLiDAR, named the online multiple calibration inertial odometer (OMC-SLIO) method, which allows online estimation of multiple extrinsic parameters among the LiDAR, rotating mechanism and IMU, as well as the odometer state. Specially, considering that the rotating and static parts of the motor encoder inside the SLiDAR are rigidly connected to the LiDAR and IMU respectively, we formulate the calibration within the SLiDAR as two separate sets of calibrations: the mechanism calibration between the LiDAR and the rotating part of the motor encoder and the sensor calibration between the static part of the motor encoder and the IMU. Based on such a SLiDAR calibration formulation, we can construct a well-defined kinematic model from the LiDAR to the IMU with the angular information from the motor encoder. Based on the kinematic model, a two-stage motion compensation method is presented to eliminate the point cloud distortion resulting from LiDAR spinning and platform motion. Furthermore, the mechanism and sensor calibration as well as the odometer state are wrapped in a measurement model and estimated via an error-state iterative extended Kalman filter (ESIEKF). Experimental results show that our OMC-SLIO is effective and attains excellent performance.
