Abstract
A This paper presennts a novel matti ing algorithm for processing video sequences in reall-time and onlin ne. The algorithm is based on a set of novel Poissson equations that are derivved for handlinng multichannel coolor vectors, as well as the depth informatioon captured. A simmple yet effectiv ve approach is also proposed to compute an inittial alpha matte in the color space. Real-timme processing speed is achieved thro ough optimizing the algorithm for parallel processinng on the GPUs. To process live video sequences online and autonomously, a mod dified backgrounnd cut algorithm is immplemented to separate foreground and backgroound, the result of which guides the automatic trimap generation. Quantitative evaluation on stiill images show ws that the alphaa mattes extracted using the presented algorithm is much more accurate than the onnes obtained using the global Poisson matting algorithm and are comparable to that of other state-of-the-art offline image mattinng techniques.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
