Abstract
Routine endoscopes have been widely used in medical diagnosis. Three-dimensional (3D) modelling reconstruction of endoscopic images has become the development direction of future medical domain. Local feature extraction and matching is a key step for 3D modelling reconstruction. Handcrafted local features such as SIFT, SURF, ORB, are still a predominant tool for such tasks. Due to the special environment of endoscopes, there are generally weak textures and large lighting changes, which make traditional feature point extraction algorithms unable to extract feature points well. We explore the potential of the self-supervised method SuperPoint. Many existing works have shown the benefits of enhancing spatial encoding. We propose a new architecture unit, in which the SE attention mechanism module is proposed, which can explicitly model the interdependence between convolutional feature channels to improve the network's representation ability. The experimental results show that this multi-scale channel attention feature point extraction algorithm based on SuperPoint has better result and achieves higher matching quality than handcrafted local features and original algorithm in endoscopic images.

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
