Abstract
Deploying vision foundation models typically relies on efficient adaptation strategies, whereas conventional full fine-tuning suffers from prohibitive costs and low efficiency. While delta-tuning has proven effective in boosting the performance and efficiency of LLMs during adaptation, its advantages cannot be directly transferred to the fine-tuning pipeline of vision foundation models. To push the boundaries of adaptation efficiency for vision tasks, we propose an adapter with Complex Linear Projection Optimization (CoLin). For architecture, we design a novel low-rank complex adapter that introduces only about 1% parameters to the backbone. For efficiency, we theoretically prove that low-rank composite matrices suffer from severe convergence issues during training, and address this challenge with a tailored loss. Extensive experiments on object detection, segmentation, image classification, and rotated object detection (remote sensing scenario) demonstrate that CoLin outperforms both full fine-tuning and classical delta-tuning approaches with merely 1% parameters for the first time, providing a novel and efficient solution for deployment of vision foundation models. We release the code on https://github.com/DongshuoYin/CoLin.

WHY NOW
Vision Foundation Models moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 8.0/10.
we design a novel low-rank complex adapter that introduces only about 1% parameters to the backbone.
This is a key quantitative claim made in the abstract and reinforced in the analysis.
partial
CoLin outperforms both full fine-tuning and classical delta-tuning approaches with merely 1% parameters for the first time
The abstract explicitly states this comparative performance advantage.
partial
we theoretically prove that low-rank composite matrices suffer from severe convergence issues during training
This is a theoretical finding presented as a problem that CoLin addresses.
partial
Extensive experiments on object detection, segmentation, image classification, and rotated object detection (remote sensing scenario) demonstrate that CoLin outperforms
The abstract lists these specific tasks as part of the experimental validation.
partial
we propose an adapter with Complex Linear Projection Optimization (CoLin).
The method's name is explicitly stated in the title and abstract.
partial
The approach might face challenges with very high-complexity tasks where simplified adaptations could lead to performance drops.
This is a stated caveat in the provided analysis, indicating a potential limitation.
partial
The technology can be productized into a software solution enabling users to efficiently retrain large vision models on new datasets or tasks with minimal computational resources.
The 'product_angle' in the analysis suggests this productization potential.
