Abstract
This paper proposes a method to automatically track human body parts in the context of gait modelisation and recognition. The proposed approach is based on a five points human model (head, hands, and feet) where the points are detected and tracked independently. Tracking is fully automatic (no manual initialization of the five points) since it will be used in a real-time surveillance system. Feet are detected in each frame by first finding the space between the legs in the human silhouette. The issue of feet self-occlusion is handled using optical flow and motion correspondence. Skin color segmentation is used to find hands in each frame and tracking is achieved by using a bounding box overlap algorithm. The head is defined as the mass center of a region of the upper silhouette.

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
