Image Tokenizer

Definitions

1. A mechanism that transforms an image into a sequence of tokens or discrete units that a model can process, often as part of a multimodal architecture. Image tokenizers bridge continuous visual data and token-based model representations.

   In plain English: A system that converts an image into tokens for model processing.

   Example: "The multimodal model used an image tokenizer to break each frame into visual tokens before sending them through the transformer."
