Abstract
Knowledge- and sample-based learning approaches play a pivotal role in image processing. However, the acquisition and integration of expert knowledge (for the former) and providing a sufficiently large number of training samples (for the latter) are generally hard to perform and time-consuming tasks. Hence, learning image processing tasks from a few gold/ground-truth samples, prepared by the user, is highly desirable. This paper demonstrates how the combination of an optimizer (e.g., genetic algorithm) and image processing tools (e.g., parameterized morphology operations) can be used to generate image processing procedures for image filtering and object extraction. For this purpose, the approach receives the original and the user-prepared image (filtered image or image with extracted target object) as a gold sample which reflects the user's expectations. After carrying out the training or optimization phase, the optimal procedure is generated and ready to be applied to new images. The feasibility of our approach is investigated for two individual image processing categories, namely filtering and object extraction, by well-prepared synthetic images. The proposed architecture and the employed methodologies are explained in detail. Experimental results are provided as well. The subject matter in this work is covered by a US provisional patent application.

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
