Abstract
Abstract We developed a multiscale object-based classification method for detecting diseased trees (Japanese Oak Wilt and Japanese Pine Wilt) in high-resolution multispectral satellite imagery. The proposed method involved (1) a hybrid intensity–hue–saturation smoothing filter-based intensity modulation (IHS-SFIM) pansharpening approach to obtain more spatially and spectrally accurate image segments; (2) synthetically oversampling the training data of the 'Diseased tree' class using the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE); and (3) using a multiscale object-based image classification approach. Using the proposed method, we were able to map diseased trees in the study area with a user's accuracy of 96.6% and a producer's accuracy of 92.5%. For comparison, the diseased trees were mapped at a user's accuracy of 84.0% and a producer's accuracy of 70.1% when IHS pansharpening was used alone and a single-scale classification approach was implemented without oversampling the 'Diseased tree' class.

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
