Researchers have developed CoVeR, a novel method for pruning visual tokens in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) when processing 3D scenes represented by multi-view images. This technique addresses the issue of redundant tokens that arise from using multiple views, which can be computationally expensive. CoVeR is a deterministic, training-free selector that uses token coordinates to ensure complete spatial coverage of the scene while adhering to an exact token budget, overcoming limitations of previous importance-based and voxelization methods. Experiments demonstrate that CoVeR significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches on 3D reasoning benchmarks, achieving high performance with a substantial reduction in token count.
