Abstract
H.264, with its superior coding efficiency and network friendly design, has emerged as the newest international video standard and is expected to become the preferred codec for video broadcasting. Presently, there is an effort to add scalability to H.264, in order to offer a solution to network congestion and bandwidth variations. Proposals range from scalable subband extension to introduction of FGS to the H.264 standard. We propose a novel structure for the FGS layer that uses 4/spl times/4 integer transform, instead of 8/spl times/8 discrete cosine transform (DCT), so that the same transform is used for both layers. We also propose a novel hierarchical algorithm to code macroblock header of FGS layer that uses less bits than the standard FGS algorithm and significantly increases the coding efficiency. When compared with the original FGS structure, the proposed structure uses 70% less bits for macroblock headers, has less complexity and has an increased PSNR of 0.7 dB on average.

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
