Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The median filter is one of the basic building blocks in many image processing situations. However, its use has long been hampered by its algorithmic complexity of O (r) in the kernel radius. With the trend toward larger images and proportionally larger filter kernels, the need for a more efficient median filtering algorithm becomes pressing. In this correspondence, a new, simple, yet much faster, algorithm exhibiting O (1) runtime complexity is described and analyzed. It is compared and benchmarked against previous algorithms. Extensions to higher dimensional or higher precision data and an approximation to a circular kernel are presented, as well.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
