Focus When Necessary: Adaptive Routing and Collaborative Grounding for Training-Free Visual Grounding
arXiv:2606.16158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel in cross-modal reasoning, they often struggle to perceive fine-grained details in complex high-resolution images. Recent training-free methods address this through image scaling and localized cropping. However, applying these manipulations indiscriminately introduces computational redundancy for simple queries and can degrade accuracy by truncating essential global context or introducing irrelevant background noise. To this end, we propose LazyMCoT, a dynamic and training-free framework that
The rapid advancement of MLLMs is pushing the boundaries of their capabilities, necessitating solutions for inherent limitations like processing high-resolution images efficiently.
This development addresses a key bottleneck in Multimodal LLM performance, potentially enabling more accurate and resource-efficient AI applications, especially in areas requiring fine-grained visual understanding.
MLLMs can now process complex, high-resolution images with greater efficiency and accuracy, reducing computational waste for simpler tasks while preserving detail for complex ones.
