Hong Kong and UK Research Teams Propose Innovative Image Tokenization Method; Hierarchical Structure Improves Reconstruction Quality
Researchers from Hong Kong and the UK have recently proposed a novel image tokenization method designed to convert images into digital representations (tokens) in a more compact and accurate manner. Unlike traditional methods that distribute information uniformly across all tokens, this method employs a hierarchical structure, capturing visual information layer by layer, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of image reconstruction. Traditional image tokenization techniques typically divide each part of an image equally into multiple tokens, whereas the new method adopts a hierarchical structure. Initial tokens encode rough shapes and structural elements,
