Introduction

While recent methods leverage a Region-of-Interest (RoI) mechanism to focus on salient areas, they typically present a difficult trade-off: training-based approaches depend on large-scale annotated datasets, while training-free methods that utilize the model's internal attention are computationally inefficient, requiring either multi-pass prefill stages or reliance on the slow auto-regressive decoding process for RoI identification. We propose an efficient, annotation-free Self-Distilled Region Proposal Network (SD-RPN) that resolves this trade-off. Our core innovation is a pipeline that processes and denoises the noisy cross-attention maps from the MLLM's middle layers to generate pseudo-RoI labels. We then use these labels to train a lightweight and tunable Region Proposal Network (RPN) that is built upon the frozen MLLM backbone. Our RPN predicts the RoI in a single forward pass using features available from the MLLM's middle layers, completely decoupling RoI identification from the auto-regressive generation process and avoiding costly multi-pass operations.
