While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive general capabilities, they struggle with fine-grained perception in ultra-high-resolution (UHR) images, particularly for tiny objects in cluttered scenes. Existing methods face a dilemma: they either rely on inefficient prior-free scanning, or depend on static prior-driven heuristics that lack posterior correction to rectify initial model biases. To address this, we propose BVS (Bayesian Visual Search), a framework that formulates perception as a global optimization problem over a continuous spatial-scale manifold. Specifically, BVS bridges prior guidance with posterior correction: it utilizes an early-stop attention rollout of MLLM to construct reasoning-aware priors, while employing a scale-aware non-stationary kernel and GP-UCB to dynamically rectify noise and recover missing information in the prior through iterative local observations. We provide theoretical guarantees via sub-linear regret bounds, and extensive experiments demonstrate that BVS significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines with a superior trade-off between accuracy and efficiency.
Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly improved remote sensing (RS) multimodal understanding. Language-conditioned segmentation is crucial for fine-grained target understanding in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) videos. However, this task rem…
Four-finger SLAP fingerprints are flat live-scan impressions of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers of one hand, used for identity verification in border control and law enforcement. No benchmark has evaluated whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can verify id…
Many fine-grained recognition tasks contain hierarchical labels such as order, family and species. Although this supervision should be beneficial, jointly optimising all levels often leads to unstable training because coarse and fine classifiers impose inconsistent gradients on t…
Visual grounding with multimodal large language models is commonly formulated as autoregressive coordinate generation, where a model outputs bounding-box coordinates as text given an image and a referring-expression prompt. While this interface is simple and compatible with instr…
Language-guided aerial perception aims to understand user-specified tiny targets in complex unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) scenes. In real UAV deployment, the UAV must respond while it flies, so such perception runs in an online streaming manner, where frames arrive sequentially a…
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. Although multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated considerable potential in medical image analysis, existing benchmarks largely reduce OCT understanding…
