Abstract
In this letter, a scheme that uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed for sea ice detection and sea ice concentration (SIC) prediction from TechDemoSat-1 Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry delay-Doppler maps (DDMs). Specifically, a classification-orientated CNN was designed for sea ice detection and a regression-based one for SIC estimation. Here, DDM images were used as input, and SIC data from Nimbus-7 Scanning Multi-Channel Microwave Radiometer and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Special Sensor Microwave Imager-Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder sensors were modified as targeted output. In the experimental phase, the CNN output resulted from inputting full-size DDM data (128-by-20 pixels) showed better accuracy than that of the existing NN-based method. Besides, both CNNs and NNs with further processed input data (40-by-20 pixels, and with a fixed position in each image) were evaluated and the performance of both networks was enhanced. It was found that when DDM data are adequately preprocessed, CNNs and NNs share similar accuracy; otherwise the former outperforms the latter. Further conclusion was thus drawn that CNNs were more tolerant to the data format changes than NNs.

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
