Abstract
The point of maximum slope on the reflectance spectrum of a plant leaf between red and near‐infrared wavelengths is known as the red edge position (REP). The REP is strongly correlated with foliar chlorophyll content, and hence it provides a very sensitive indicator for a variety of environmental factors affecting leaves such as stress, drought and senescence. The REP is also present in spectra for vegetation recorded by remote sensing methods. Due to its importance for the application of inversion procedures, a number of techniques have been developed for determining the REP for foliar spectral reflectance. In this paper a new approach is proposed. It allows an unsupervised estimation of the REP. The accuracy of the new approach is evaluated by comparing REP estimates with values derived from measured spectral data for woody and herbaceous species available in the LOPEX (Leaf Optical Properties Experiment) database.

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
