Abstract
In this paper, we present a semi-automated method for converting conventional 2D images into stereoscopic 3D. User-defined strokes corresponding to a rough estimate of the depth values in the scene are defined for the image of interest. With these, our system determines the depth values for the rest of the image, producing a depth map that can be used to create stereoscopic 3D image pairs. Our work is based on a similar scheme, using the Random Walks segmentation paradigm. However, the related work is quite complex, with many processing steps required to produce the final stereoscopic image pair. Combined with its evident shortcomings, but noting the merits, we propose a system employing Random Walks, while incorporating information from the popular Graph Cuts segmentation paradigm. Thus, a final cohesive depth map is produced, combining the merits of both. The results show that we can produce good quality stereoscopic image pairs, while using a much more simplified method in comparison to the related work.

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
