• Authors: Yizhuo Zhang, Zhirong Wu, Houwen Peng, and Stephen Lin
• Abstract summary: Semi-supervised video object segmentation aims to separate a target object from a video sequence, given the mask in the first frame. Most of current prevailing methods utilize information from additional modules trained in other domains like optical flow and instance segmentation. We propose a simple yet strong transductive method, in which additional modules, datasets, and dedicated architectural designs are not needed.

• Abstract: Semi-supervised video object segmentation aims to separate a target object from a video sequence, given the mask in the first frame. Most of current prevailing methods utilize information from additional modules trained in other domains like optical flow and instance segmentation, and as a result they do not compete with other methods on common ground. To address this issue, we propose a simple yet strong transductive method, in which additional modules, datasets, and dedicated architectural designs are not needed. Our method takes a label propagation approach where pixel labels are passed forward based on feature similarity in an embedding space. Different from other propagation methods, ours diffuses temporal information in a holistic manner which take accounts of long-term object appearance. In addition, our method requires few additional computational overhead, and runs at a fast $\sim$37 fps speed. Our single model with a vanilla ResNet50 backbone achieves an overall score of 72.3 on the DAVIS 2017 validation set and 63.1 on the test set. This simple yet high performing and efficient method can serve as a solid baseline that facilitates future research.

  This paper presents a novel method for point-centric interactive video segmentation, empowered by SAM and long-term point tracking. We highlight the merits of point-based tracking through direct evaluation on the zero-shot open-world Unidentified Video Objects (UVO) benchmark. Our experiments on popular video object segmentation and multi-object segmentation tracking benchmarks, including DAVIS, YouTube-VOS, and BDD100K, suggest that a point-based segmentation tracker yields better zero-shot performance and efficient interactions.

  Video instance is a fundamental computer vision task that deals with segmenting and tracking object instances across a video sequence. We introduce a simple end-to-end train bottomable-up approach to achieve instance mask predictions at the pixel-level granularity, instead of the typical region-proposals-based approach. Our method provides competitive results on YouTube-VIS and DAVIS-19 datasets, and has minimum run-time compared to other contemporary state-of-the-art performance methods.

  Video instance segmentation is a challenging task that extends image instance segmentation to the video domain. Existing methods either rely only on single-frame information for the detection and segmentation subproblems or handle tracking as a separate post-processing step. We propose a novel graph-neural-network (GNN) based method to handle the aforementioned limitation.
