Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel method for synchronizing multiple (more than two) uncalibrated video sequences recording the same event by free-moving full-perspective cameras. Unlike previous synchronization methods, our method takes advantage of tri-view geometry constraints instead of the commonly used two-view one for their better performance in measuring geometric alignment when video frames are synchronized. In particular, the tri-ocular geometric constraint of point/line features, which is evaluated by tri-focal transfer, is enforced when building the timeline maps for sequences to be synchronized. A hierarchical approach is used to reduce the computational complexity. To achieve subframe synchronization accuracy, the Levenberg-Marquardt method-based optimization is performed. The experimental results on several synthetic and real video datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method over previous methods in synchronizing full-perspective videos.

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
