vcalib: calibration filters for RF-DETR under illumination shift
A ~2 KB differentiable filter that undoes an illumination shift before the image reaches a frozen detector. No retraining, no labels, minutes on a CPU.
- 35.9% activation recovery on real held-out image pairs
- Closes the AP gap on level_2 (SAM3 pseudo-GT)
- ~3.5 min to fit on a laptop CPU
