Abstract
In this paper we perform a detailed evaluation of two key-frame state marginalization for visual inertial navigation filters to show that the method is significantly more computationally efficient than generic visual inertial odometry (VIO) methods while being sufficiently accurate for micro aerial vehicle (MAV) navigation. For this purpose, we use the EuRoC MAV dataset [1] for comparing the drift of MSCKF-Generic [2], MSCKF-Mono [3], MSCKF-Two way [4], and Two key-frame [5] VIO filters. The error state formulation of the two key-frame based and multi key frame based VIO is presented, then the drift, accuracy, and execution time of each filter is compared. The results indicate close to 90% faster execution of two key-frame based VIO algorithm on all datasets compared while having less than 3% drift in position for the total distance traversed.

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
