Abstract
Object-based video representation, such as the one suggested by the MPEG-4 standard, offers a framework that is better suited for object-based video indexing and retrieval. In such a framework, the concept of a "key frame" is replaced by that of a "key video object plane". In this paper, we propose a method for key video object plane selection using the shape information in the MPEG-4 compressed domain. The shape of the video object (VO) is approximated using the shape coding modes of I, P, and B video object planes (VOPs) without decoding the shape information in the MPEG-4 bit stream. Two popular shape distance measures, the Hamming and Hausdorff distance measures, are modified to measure the similarities between the approximated shapes of the video objects. Although they feature different computational and implementation complexity tradeoffs, the corresponding algorithms achieve essentially the same performance levels in selecting key video object planes that represent efficiently the salient content of the video objects.

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
