Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One of the problems in image processing is finding an appropriate threshold in order to convert an image to a binary one. In this paper we introduce a new method for image thresholding. We use reinforcement learning as an effective way to find the optimal threshold. Q(Λ) is implemented as a learning algorithm to achieve more accurate results. The reinforcement agent uses objective rewards to explore/exploit the solution space. It means that there is not any experienced operator involved and the reward and punishment function must be defined for the agent. The results show that this method works successfully and can be trained for any particular application.

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.
