Abstract
A novel approach to object recognition based on shape matching of repeatable segments is presented. The motivation is to increase the recognition system robustness in handling problems such as noise corruption at a local level, featureless surfaces, and variations in 3D data sources. Inspired by the detection of repeatable interest points, interest segments were extracted through region growing and the reconstruction of piece-wise boundary curves from connected interest points. An object pose is automatically estimated if only one of the repeatable scene segments can be matched and aligned correctly with a model segment. To demonstrate this capability, shape matching of selected segments, filtered by size, were registered using the 4 points congruent sets (4PCS) algorithm and compared with an overlap metric. Three different free-form objects were evaluated against nine different occluded and cluttered 2.5D scenes. It was found that on average 1.4 ± 0.8 scene segments can be matched correctly to a model segment in the database, indicating that a highly robust object recognition system will result.

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
