Abstract
Centerline detection and line width estimation are important for many computer vision applications, e.g., road network extraction from high resolution remotely sensed imagery. Radon transform-based linear feature detection has many advantages over other approaches: for example, its robustness in noisy images. However, it usually fails to detect the centerline of a thick line due to the peak selection problem. In this paper, several key issues that affect the centerline detection using the radon transform are investigated. A mean filter is proposed to locate the true peak in the radon image and a profile analysis technique is used to further refine the line parameters. The theta-boundary problem of the radon transform is also discussed and the erroneous line parameters are corrected. Intensive experiments have shown that the proposed methodology is effective in finding the centerline and estimating the line width of thick lines.

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
