Abstract
To perform as desired in a dynamic environment a vision system must adapt to a variety of operating conditions by selecting vision modules, tuning their parameters, and controlling image acquisition. Knowledge-based (KB) controller-agents that reason over explicitly represented knowledge and interact with their environment can be used for this task; however, the lack of a unifyingmethodology and development tools makes KB controllers difficult to create, maintain, and reuse. This paper presents the INVICON toolkit, based on the IndiGolog agent programming language with elements from control theory. It provides a basic methodology, a vision module declaration template, a suite of control components, and support tools for KB controller development. We have evaluated INVICON in two case studies that involved controlling vision-based pose estimation systems. The case studies show that INVICON reduces the effort needed to build KB controllers for challenging domains and improves their flexibility and robustness.

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
