Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Implicit surfaces offer several advantages over other volume representations, but despite the ease with which CSG and smooth blending can be used to construct complex models they are not commonly used. The main reason for this is the long visualization time, especially when the surface is being rendered using ray tracing.In this paper an algorithm called RaySkip is described. Rayskip improves rendering times of ray tracing animations of implicit surfaces (19% to 55% per frame). This is accomplished by exploiting object space coherence and temporal coherence, reducing the number of evaluations of the surface needed to trace a ray.

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.
