Abstract
Computer based analysis for automated segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images helps eye care specialists screen larger populations for vessel abnormalities. Because the width of retinal vessels can vary from very large to very small, and the local contrast of vessels is unstable especially in unhealthy ocular fundus, the automated retinal segmentation is difficult. We propose a novel method with the consideration of these problems. Our method includes: 1) a multiscale analysis scheme using Gabor fillers and scale production, 2) an adaptive thresholding scheme using adaptive tracking and morphological filtering. Our method is good for detecting large and small vessels concurrently. It is also efficient to denoise and enhance the responses of line filters so that the vessels with low local contrast can be detected

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
