• Abstract: This paper presents a new self-supervised system for learning to detect novel and previously unseen categories of objects in images. The proposed system receives as input several unlabeled videos of scenes containing various objects. The frames of the videos are segmented into objects using depth information, and the segments are tracked along each video. The system then constructs a weighted graph that connects sequences based on the similarities between the objects that they contain. The similarity between two sequences of objects is measured by using generic visual features, after automatically re-arranging the frames in the two sequences to align the viewpoints of the objects. The graph is used to sample triplets of similar and dissimilar examples by performing random walks. The triplet examples are finally used to train a siamese neural network that projects the generic visual features into a low-dimensional manifold. Experiments on three public datasets, YCB-Video, CORe50 and RGBD-Object, show that the projected low-dimensional features improve the accuracy of clustering unknown objects into novel categories, and outperform several recent unsupervised clustering techniques.

  Video instance is a fundamental computer vision task that deals with segmenting and tracking object instances across a video sequence.

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 complex task in which we need to detect, segment, and track each object for any given video.

We propose a novel comprehensive feature aggregation approach (CompFeat) to refine features at both frame-level and object-level with temporal and spatial context information.
