Variable-Granularity Tokenization for High-Resolution Object Detection

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

ViT detectors fix a uniform token grid before any learned stage. A native-resolution aerial detector must then choose between resolving few-pixel objects and staying inside compute and memory limits. We introduce VGTok, a training-free tokenizer that sets patch granularity per region from pixels, ahead of the encoder. VGTok scores each region by multi-scale morphological top-hat separability from its surround, then thresholds those scores at a per-image percentile, which fixes the token budget. A structure-tensor gate ($λ_{\min}$) refines only where two-dimensional object structure supports it
