Vision Encoder
An encoder module in multimodal large models responsible for processing visual input. It converts images or video frames into token sequences interpretable by large language models, aligning the visual space with the semantic space. Implementations are typically based on the Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
The core function of the Vision Encoder is alignment—mapping information from the visual space into the semantic space of the large language model.
Qwen's visual large model is primarily based on a language large model preceded by a Vision Encoder, while its model for processing speech is preceded by a Speech Encoder, with the vision and language models remaining relatively separate.
The visual capabilities of multimodal models are typically implemented through a visual encoder, with common approaches including pre-trained visual models such as ViT or SigLIP.

Multimodal large models convert images into high-dimensional vector representations through a Vision Encoder, which are then fused with the text comprehension capabilities of the language model.
