Abstract
Monitoring the openness of the major temporal arcade (MTA) and how it changes over time could facilitate improved diagnosis and timely treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We present methods for user-guided modeling and measurement of the openness of the MTA based on a form of the generalized Hough transform for the detection of parabolas, and to compare it with a method of arcade angle measurement. The methods, implemented via a graphical user interface, were tested with retinal fundus images of 10 normal individuals and 15 patients with PDR. The results using the openness parameters of single- and dual-parabolic models as well as the arcade angle measurements indicate areas under the receiver operating characteristics of A(z)= 0.94, 0.87, and 0.84, respectively. The proposed methods should facilitate improved quantitative analysis of the architecture of the MTA, as well as assist in detection, diagnosis, and improved treatment of PDR.

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
