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

Aiming at the recognition of intelligent retail dynamic visual container goods, two problems that lead to low recognition accuracy must be addressed; one is the lack of goods features caused by the occlusion of the hand, and the other is the high similarity of goods. Therefore, this study proposes an approach for occluding goods recognition based on a generative adversarial network combined with prior inference to address the two abovementioned problems. With DarkNet53 as the backbone network, semantic segmentation is used to locate the occluded part in the feature extraction network, and simultaneously, the YOLOX decoupling head is used to obtain the detection frame. Subsequently, a generative adversarial network under prior inference is used to restore and expand the features of the occluded parts, and a multi-scale spatial attention and effective channel attention weighted attention mechanism module is proposed to select fine-grained features of goods. Finally, a metric learning method based on von Mises-Fisher distribution is proposed to increase the class spacing of features to achieve the effect of feature distinction, whilst the distinguished features are utilized to recognize goods at a fine-grained level. The experimental data used in this study were all obtained from the self-made smart retail container dataset, which contains a total of 12 types of goods used for recognition and includes four couples of similar goods. Experimental results reveal that the peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity under improved prior inference are 0.7743 and 0.0183 higher than those of the other models, respectively. Compared with other optimal models, mAP improves the recognition accuracy by 1.2% and the recognition accuracy by 2.82%. This study solves two problems: one is the occlusion caused by hands, and the other is the high similarity of goods, thus meeting the requirements of commodity recognition accuracy in the field of intelligent retail and exhibiting good application prospects.
