Abstract
A novel algorithm is introduced to estimate the pose of objects from sparse range data. Pose determination is tackled by employing the ICP algorithm to find corresponding local minima between a preprocessed model and the runtime data. Unlike other existing algorithms that try to avoid local minima, here local minima are used as effective feature vectors for generating multiple hypotheses of the pose. These hypotheses are then examined and verified using the bounded Hough transform, which is more robust than using the registration error directly. Only a small number of iterations (e.g., 5) is needed for each ICP at both preprocessing and runtime, which makes the technique efficient. The algorithm has been implemented and tested on a variety of objects, including freeform models, using both simulated and real data from Lidar and stereovision sensors. The experimental results show the technique to be both effective and efficient, executing at multiple frames per second on standard hardware. In addition, it functions well with very sparse data, possibly comprising only hundreds of points per frame, and it is also robust to measurement error and outliers.

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
