Abstract
Denoising problems can be regarded as that of a prior probability modeling in an estimation task. The performance of the estimator is intimately related on the correctness of the model. This paper proposes a new wavelet-domain image denoising method using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator. The vector-based hidden Markov model (HMM) is used as the prior for modeling the wavelet coefficients of an image. This model is an effective statistical model for the wavelet coefficients, since it is capable of capturing both the subband marginal distribution and the inter-scale, intra-scale and cross-orientation dependencies of the wavelet coefficients. Using this prior, a Weiner filter, which is derived using a MMSE estimator, is developed for estimating the denoised coefficients. Experiments are conducted on standard images to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Simulation results are provided to show that the proposed denoising method can effectively reduce the noise in yielding higher values for the peak signal-to-noise ratio along with better visual quality than that provided by some of the other existing methods.

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
