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

Among the numerous gaze-estimation methods currently available, appearance-based methods predominantly use RGB images as input and employ convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to detect facial images to regressively obtain gaze angles or gaze points. Model-based methods require high-resolution images to obtain a clear eyeball geometric model. These methods face significant challenges in outdoor environments and practical application scenarios. This paper proposes a model-based gaze-estimation algorithm using a low-resolution 3D TOF camera. This study uses infrared images instead of RGB images as input to overcome the impact of varying illumination intensity in the environment on gaze estimation. We utilized a trained YOLOv8 neural network model to detect eye landmarks in captured facial images. Combined with the depth map from a time-of-flight (TOF) camera, we calculated the 3D coordinates of the canthus points of a single eye of the subject. Based on this, we fitted a 3D geometric model of the eyeball to determine the subject's gaze angle. Experimental validation showed that our method achieved a root mean square error of 6.03° and 4.83° in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, for the detection of the subject's gaze angle. We also tested the proposed method in a real car driving environment, achieving stable driver gaze detection at various locations inside the car, such as the dashboard, driver mirror, and the in-vehicle screen.
