Abstract
In this paper, we present a frame rate upconversion method using optical flow motion estimation and a patch-based reconstruction scheme. First, forward and backward motion vectors (MVs) are obtained using an optical flow algorithm, and reconstructed versions of the current and previous frames are generated by our patch-based reconstruction scheme. Using the original and reconstructed versions of the current and previous frames, two mismatch masks are obtained. Then, two versions of the middle frame are generated using a patch-based scheme, with estimated MVs and the current and previous frames. Finally, a middle mask, which identifies the mismatch areas of the two middle frames, is reconstructed. Using these three masks, the best candidates for interpolation are selected and fused to obtain the final middle frame. Due to the patch-based nature of our reconstruction scheme, most of the holes and cracks will be filled. Although there is always a probability of having holes, the size and number of such holes are much smaller than those that would be generated using pixel-based mapping. The rare holes are filled using existing hole-filling algorithms. The experimental results and a comparison of our method with existing algorithms show that our method performs better in terms of both objective and subjective quality of the final interpolated frames. The average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) improvement of our method is 1-2 dB.

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
