Abstract
Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) is frequently used in multiview video applications such as free-viewpoint television. In this paper, we consider the two DIBR algorithms used in the Moving Picture Experts Group view synthesis reference software, and develop a scheme for the encoder to estimate the distortion of the synthesized virtual view at the decoder when the reference texture and depth sequences experience transmission errors such as packet loss. We first develop a graphical model to analyze how random errors in the reference depth image affect the synthesized virtual view. The warping competition rule adopted in the DIBR algorithms is explicitly represented by the graphical model. We then consider the case where packet loss occurs to both the encoded texture and depth images during transmission and develop a recursive optimal distribution estimation (RODE) method to calculate the per-pixel texture and depth probability distributions in each frame of the reference views. The RODE is then integrated with the graphical model method to estimate the distortion in the synthesized view caused by packet loss. Experimental results verify the accuracy of the graphical model method, the RODE, and the combined estimation scheme.

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
