Abstract
Ideal imaging, which is constantly pursued, requires the collection of all kinds of optical information of the objects in view, such as three-dimensional spatial information (3D) including the planar distribution and depth, and the colors, i.e., spectral information (1D). Although three-dimensional spatial imaging and spectral imaging have individually evolved rapidly, their straightforward combination is a cumbersome system, severely hindering the practical applications of four-dimensional (4D) imaging. Here, we demonstrate the ultra-compact spectral light-field imaging (SLIM) by using a transversely dispersive metalens array and a monochrome imaging sensor. With only one snapshot, the SLIM presents advanced imaging with a 4 nm spectral resolution and near-diffraction-limit spatial resolution. Consequently, visually indistinguishable objects and materials can be discriminated through SLIM, which promotes significant progress towards ideal plenoptic imaging.

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
