Does advancement in marker-less pose-estimation mean more quality research? A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Recent breakthroughs in marker-less pose-estimation have driven a significant transformation in computer-vision approaches. Despite the emergence of state-of-the-art keypoint-detection algorithms, the extent to which these tools are employed and the nature of their application in scientific research has yet to be systematically documented. We systematically reviewed the literature to assess how pose-estimation techniques are currently applied in rodent (rat and mouse) models. Our analysis categorized each study by its primary focus: tool-development, method-focused, and study-focused studies. We mapped emerging trends alongside persistent gaps. We conducted a comprehensive search of Crossref, OpenAlex PubMed, and Scopus for articles published on rodent pose-estimation from 2016 through 202
