Abstract
Pavement surface texture affects many vehicle and road characteristics; therefore, efforts are needed to develop more advanced techniques for evaluating pavement texture. Photometric stereo techniques are widely used to recover three-dimensional shapes of objects and can also be used to recover surface texture. A four-source photometric stereo system for recovering pavement surface texture is proposed. Five types of pavement surfaces were tested to validate the system. Mean profile depths computed from the recovered surface were compared with those measured manually by using a depth dial gauge. The sensitivity of the technique to illumination angle was studied for five zenith angles: σ=26 , 28, 30, 32, and 34°. The computed mean profile depths from the proposed system are linearly correlated with those from the depth dial gauge with coefficients of determination ranging from 0.82 at σ=34° to 0.92 at σ=30° . Tests showed that the proposed system can be used to recover pavement surface heights and to estimate the mean profile depth.

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
