Abstract
A local‐based illumination insensitive face recognition algorithm is proposed which is the combination of image normalisation and illumination invariant descriptors. Illumination insensitive representation of image is obtained based on the ratio of gradient amplitude to the original image intensity and partitioned into smaller sub‐blocks. Local phase quantisation and multi‐scale local binary pattern, extract the sub‐regions characteristics. Distance measurements of local nearest neighbour classifiers are fused at the score level to find the best match and decision‐level fusion combines the results of two matching techniques. Entropy, class posterior probability and mutual information are utilised as the weights of fusion components. Simulation results on the YaleB, Extended YaleB, AR, Multi‐PIE and FRGC databases show the improved performance of the proposed algorithm under severe illumination with low computational complexity and no reconstruction or training requirement.

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
