Semi-automatic 2D to 3D image conversion using a hybrid Random Walks and graph cuts based approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we present a semi-automated method for converting conventional 2D images to stereoscopic 3D. User-defined strokes that correspond to a rough estimate of the depth values in the scene are defined for the image of interest. With these strokes, our system thus determines what the depth values are for the rest of the image, producing a depth map that is ultimately used to create a stereoscopic image pair. Our work is based on a similar scheme which employs Random Walks. However, the related work is quite complex, with many processing steps required to produce the final stereoscopic im age pair. Combined with the evident shortcomings of the related work, but noting the merits of Random Walks, we propose a system that is a hybrid between Random Walks, and the popular Graph Cuts segmentation paradigm. Both segmentation algorithms are used to generate a final cohesive depth map, thus combining the merits of both frameworks together. The generated results show that we can produce good quality stereoscopic image pairs, while using a much more simplified method in comparison to the related Random Walks scheme.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
