Abstract
Different Tone-Mapping operators (TMOs) produce different Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images based on a single High Dynamic Range (HDR) image. The Tone-Mapped image Quality Index (TMQI) algorithm provides a quantitative means of assessing the quality of resultant LDR images. In this paper we test the hypothesis that TMQI predictions of human image quality can be further aligned with human judgement of image quality in considering visual attention, or regions that humans are predicted to fixate within a scene. We propose a modified version of the TMQI algorithm, a Saliency weighted Tone-Mapped Quality Index (STMQI) which demonstrates higher correlation with subjective ranking scores than the standard TMQI metric.

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
