Abstract
In this paper, an efficient Minkowski distance-based metric for no-reference (NR) quality assessment of contrast distorted images is proposed. It is shown that higher orders of Minkowski distance and entropy provide accurate quality prediction for the contrast distorted images. The proposed metric performs predictions by extracting only three features from the distorted images followed by a regression analysis. Furthermore, the proposed features are able to classify type of the contrast distorted images with a high accuracy. Experimental results on four datasets CSIQ, TID2013, CCID2014, and SIQAD show that the proposed metric with a very low complexity provides better quality predictions than the state-of-the-art NR metrics. The MATLAB source code of the proposed metric is available to public at http://www.synchromedia.ca/system/files/MDM.zip.

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
