Abstract
MPEG-4 standard is an object based coding scheme. Shape representation is a new feature in MPEG-4, which specifies objects’ opaque characteristics. In this paper, we propose a novel shape coding scheme for MPEG-4 visual standard. The proposed coding scheme segments a binary alpha plane (BAP) into a number of binary alpha blocks (BAB) of varying sizes based on the opaque or transparent nature of a video object. The segmentation is done through a quadtree structure. The two-dimensional redundancy within a non-homogeneous BAB are exploited by removing the consecutive identical rows and columns of pixels. At the end, zigzag scan and arithmetic coding are adopted to achieve better compression. The proposed scheme bypasses the overhead in computation of an intermediate contour representation and its associated conversions. Experimental results show that the proposed coding scheme has an overall better compression performance than some other advanced coding techniqu

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
