Abstract
This study presents an automatic, human perception based chroma‐keying algorithm that extracts the objects of interest (i.e. foreground) from monochromatic background. Given an image to be chroma keyed, the global colour distribution and the local texture property are analysed in CIECAM02 colour appearance model. After the analysis, input image is automatically segmented into three parts: foreground, background, and uncertain regions. Afterwards, the background colour is propagated from known background to uncertain region by using interpolation functions; and the foreground colour is estimated based on global colour distribution and a linear cost criteria. The quantitative and perceptual comparisons on the matting results show that the proposed method can reliably remove the background region, correctly restore the intrinsic foreground colour, and accurately keep the fine details. In addition, the authors implement the proposed method on a heterogeneous parallel computing architecture which efficiently distributes the workload among different processors. The simulation results show that the foreground objects can be accurately extracted from high‐definition and/or ultra‐high‐definition videos in real time.

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
