Abstract
This paper addresses the ellipsoid-type-specified fitting of quadratic surfaces, in the scope of model-based global feature extraction within scattered 3D point clouds. At characterizing articular bone surfaces, the quadrics estimated indicate useful overall-symmetry-related intrinsic centers and axes in joints. A constrained weighted least-squares minimization of algebraic residuals is used, with a robust and bias-corrected metric. With only one quadratic constraint involved, every step produces closed-form eigenvector solutions. To guarantee that an ellipsoid is output, we originally exploit a 2D representation called the Quadric Shape Map (QSM) by carrying out a visual study of the influence of shape constraints. The identified ellipsoid guarantee is needed to extract the center and axes in a wrist joint data stemming from 3D medical images.

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
