contents We propose Ciliary-DETR (previous name: Elastic-DETR), a framework for test-time resolution adjustment analogous to biological accommodation. While multi-scale data augmentation improves robustness to scale variation, modern detectors rely on fixed inference resolutions, potentially limiting flexibility and robustness. Similar to the ciliary muscle, we introduce a lightweight scale predictor that dynamically estimates test-time scale factors across a wide range of input scales. The core challenge is that the optimal input scale is inherently unobservable under standard training setups. To address this challenge, we introduce a parametric formulation of desired scaling behavior, leading to loss-driven objectives that guide scale optimization. Overall, our method enables flexible and efficient single-pass inference, bridging the gap between training-time robustness and test-time adaptation.
