One Patch Is Enough: Reinforcement-Optimized Visual Token Grounding for MLLM-Based Scene Text Spotting
This work proposes Single-Patch Text Spotting (SPaTS), a vision-centric framework that routes each text instance through a single anchor visual token and then recovers geometry via full-image refinement and introduces Single-Patch Selective Optimization (SPaSO), a reinforcement learning framework that optimizes discrete visual-token selection using patch-level rewards.
