Abstract
Scalability in video coding is becoming the primary choice for providing quality of service (QoS) guarantees in wireless video communication. In this paper, we develop real-time rate and distortion prediction models for medium grained scalable (MGS) coded video streams. These models allow mobile video encoders to predict the packet size and corresponding distortion of a video frame using only the mean absolute difference (MAD) of the motion prediction and the quantization parameter (QP). The prediction of rate and distortion measures can be used in devices with cross layer optimization capabilities to choose the combination of base and enhancement layer packets that deliver the best picture quality given channel quality information. Performance evaluations demonstrate that our models accurately predict the size and distortion of base and enhancement layer MGS packets.

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
