Good Token Hunting: A Hitchhiker's Guide to Token Selection for Visual Geometry Transformers

Good Token Hunting: A Hitchhiker's Guide to Token Selection for Visual Geometry Transformers

Summary

This research introduces a token selection strategy for Visual Geometry Transformers (ViT) to address their quadratic computational cost. The proposed two-stage framework first selects key frames based on diversity and then performs layer-aware sparsification within those frames guided by attention entropy. Experiments show the method accelerates inference by over 85% for scenes with 500 images while maintaining or improving baseline performance, offering a superior speed-accuracy trade-off.

Editorial context

The paper proposes a two-stage token selection framework for Visual Geometry Transformers to reduce quadratic computational costs, achieving over 85% acceleration on scenes with 500 images while maintaining or improving baseline performance.

xisting solutions. Extensive experiments show that it accelerates visual geometry transformers by over 85% for scenes with 500 images while maintaining, or even improving, baseline performance, which hints that how our token selection strategy can play a crucial role in future applications of visual geometry transformers.
