Abstract
In this paper, we present an extension of the Colour Edge Co-occurence Histogram (CECH) object detection scheme for detecting logos and trademarks in unconstrained colour images. We introduce more accurate information to the CECH by virtue of incorporating colour edge detection using vector order statistics, producing a more accurate representation of edges in images, as compared to the simple colour difference edge classification which is done in the CECH. Our proposed method is thus reliant on edge gradient information, and so we call it the Colour Edge Gradient Co-occurrence Histogram (CEGCH). We also illustrate a colour quantization scheme based in the Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) colour space, illustrating that it is more suitable for logo and trademark detection in comparison to the colour quantization scheme used with the CECH. Results illustrate that the CEGCH detects logos and trademarks with greater accuracy in comparison to the CECH.

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
