Jag model enables direct box prediction for efficient visual grounding

Researchers have developed Jag, a novel approach for visual grounding that directly predicts bounding box coordinates rather than generating them sequentially. This method adapts a compact pretrained multimodal model with a lightweight regression head to output all four coordinates simultaneously. By applying geometric supervision, Jag refines both the multimodal representations and the coordinate mapping, leading to improved accuracy and efficiency. The system achieves competitive accuracy with lower latency and memory usage compared to existing specialized grounding models. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and accurate visual grounding systems, impacting applications that require precise object localization within images.

    Jag: Direct Box Prediction for Efficient Visual Grounding

    arXiv:2610.13239v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual grounding combines image--language understanding with geometric prediction, yet autoregressive multimodal models often express a box as a coordinate sequence. Sequential decoding adds computation to the multimodal processing …
