Semantic Patch

Semantic patch research focuses on improving image processing by moving beyond fixed-size image patches to representations that better capture the inherent semantic content of images. Current efforts involve developing tokenization methods that group pixels into semantically meaningful units, leveraging techniques like superpixel segmentation and attention mechanisms within transformer architectures to achieve this. This refined approach enhances the accuracy and efficiency of various computer vision tasks, including image classification, segmentation, and object detection, particularly in scenarios with limited data or complex scenes.
