Abstract
We present an algorithm for simultaneously demosaicing digital images, and correcting chromatic aberration, that operates in terms of spectral bands. Chromatic aberration depends on both the camera’s optical system, and on the spectral characteristics of the light entering the camera. Previous works on calibrating chromatic aberration produce models of chromatic aberration that assume fixed relationships between image channels, an assumption that is only valid when the image channels capture narrow regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. When the camera has wideband channels, as is the case for conventional trichromatic (RGB) cameras, the aberration observed both within and between channels can only be accurately predicted given the spectral irradiance of the theoretical, aberration-free image. For an RGB camera, we use bandpass-filtered light to calibrate its chromatic aberration in terms of image position and light wavelength. Inspired by literature on reconstructing spectral images from RGB images, we then correct images for chromatic aberration by estimating aberration-free, spectral images. As we model within-channel chromatic aberration, our reconstructed images are sharper than those obtained by calibrated warping of color channels, yet we avoid artifacts commonly produced by explicit deblurring algorithms.

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
