New Visual Token Codec Boosts ViT Feature Compression Efficiency

Researchers have developed a new method called the Visual Token Codec (VTC) to compress intermediate features in Vision Transformer (ViT) models. VTC effectively utilizes the spatial correlations inherent in ViT patch tokens, which are often overlooked by existing codecs. The dual-path codec separates global and patch tokens, applying specialized compression techniques to each. Experiments demonstrate that VTC significantly outperforms current ViT feature coding baselines, achieving high performance with drastically reduced bitrates across various tasks like classification, segmentation, and detection.
