Abstract
Docking craft in space and guiding mining machines are areas that often use remote video cameras equipped with one or more controllable light sources. In these applications, the problem of parameter selection arises: how to choose the best parameters for the camera and lights? Another problem is that a single image often cannot capture the whole scene properly and a composite image needs to be rendered. In this paper, we report on our progress with the CITO Lights and Camera project that addresses the parameter selection and merging problems for such systems. The prototype knowledge-based controller adjusts lighting to iteratively acquire a collection of images of a target. At every stage, an entropy-based merging module combines these images to produce a composite. The result is a final composite image that is optimized for further image processing tasks, such as pose estimation or tracking.

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
