Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A novel watermarking method is proposed to hide a binary watermark into image files compressed by fractal block coding. This watermarking method utilizes a special type of orthogonalization fractal coding method where the fractal affine transform is determined by the range block mean and contrast scaling. Such orthogonalization fractal decoding is a mean-invariant iteration. In contrast, the fractal parameters of classical fractal compression are very sensitive to any change of domain block pool and to common signal and geometric distortion. Hence, it is impossible to directly place a watermark in fractal parameters. The proposed watermark embedding procedure inserts a permutated pseudo-random binary sequence into the quantized range block means. The watermark is detected by computing the correlation coefficient between the original and the extracted watermark. Experimental results show that the proposed fractal watermarking scheme is robust against common signal and geometric distortion such as JPEG compression, low-pass filtering, rescaling, and clipping.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
