Abstract
Automated situation awareness (ASA) in a complex and dynamic setting is a challenging task. The accurate perception of environmental elements and events is critical for the successful completion of a mission. The key technology to implement ASA is target detection. However, in most situations, targets of interest that are at a distance are hard to identify due to the small size, complex background, and poor illumination conditions. Thus, multimodal (e.g., visible and thermal) imaging and fusion techniques are adopted to enhance the capability for situation awareness. A deep multimodal image fusion (DIF) framework is proposed to detect the target by fusing the complementary information from multimodal images with a deep convolutional neural network. The DIF is built and validated with the Military Sensing Information Analysis Center dataset. Extensive experiments were carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method in terms of both detection accuracy and computational efficiency.

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
