Abstract
Multiple off-the-shelf cameras can be configured to simultaneously provide redundant data, complementary information, and fast processing through sensor parallelism. The redundancy in the captured data can increase the accuracy of scene interpretation and improve system reliability by reducing the overall uncertainty associated with feature classification. Complementary information extracted from several cameras allows novel features in the environment to be identified that are normally impossible to detect with an individual CCD camera or range scanner. An unsolved problem in using multiple cameras for part identification or fault detection is associating the image features captured by one camera with that from another camera, or the same camera at a different point in time. In this paper, a spherical self-organizing feature map (SOFM) is used to combine and correlate both redundant and complementary features extracted from the images acquired by a multiple camera system. An important feature of the proposed technique is that the spherical SOFM develops a topologically ordered representation of the feature vectors derived from a high-dimensional input space. The unsupervised learning algorithm exploits hidden redundancies in the data set and ensures that 'similar' feature vectors will be assigned to cluster units that lie in identifiable neighborhoods on the spherical lattice. To illustrate the proposed methodology, a spherical SOFM that classifies the feature vectors acquired by a trinocular camera system is described.

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
