DRS-GUI: Dynamic Region Search for Training-Free GUI Grounding
The paper presents DRS-GUI, a training-free framework for GUI grounding that enhances the performance of Multimodal Large Language Models. It introduces a lightweight UI Perceptor that mimics human-like perceptual actions to identify relevant regions in complex user interfaces. Experimental results indicate a significant improvement in grounding performance, achieving a 14% increase on benchmark tests.
- ▪DRS-GUI is designed to improve the grounding of instruction-relevant elements in high-resolution screenshots.
- ▪The framework employs a UI Perceptor that performs actions such as Focus, Shift, and Scatter to explore interfaces.
- ▪A Monte Carlo Tree Search-based Action Planner is used to dynamically schedule perceptual actions and evaluate region quality.

However, accurately grounding instruction-relevant elements from high-resolution screenshots cluttered with irrelevant UI components remains challenging for existing approaches.
