• Authors: Minghan Li, Shuai Li, Lida Li and Lei Zhang
• Abstract summary: We propose a one-stage video instance segmentation framework by spatial calibration and temporal fusion, namely STMask. Experiments on the YouTube-VIS valid set show that the proposed STMask with ResNet-50/-101 backbone obtains 33.5 % / 36.8 % mask AP, while achieving 28.6 / 23.4 FPS on video instance segmentation.

• Abstract: Modern one-stage video instance segmentation networks suffer from two limitations. First, convolutional features are neither aligned with anchor boxes nor with ground-truth bounding boxes, reducing the mask sensitivity to spatial location. Second, a video is directly divided into individual frames for frame-level instance segmentation, ignoring the temporal correlation between adjacent frames. To address these issues, we propose a simple yet effective one-stage video instance segmentation framework by spatial calibration and temporal fusion, namely STMask. To ensure spatial feature calibration with ground-truth bounding boxes, we first predict regressed bounding boxes around ground-truth bounding boxes, and extract features from them for frame-level instance segmentation. To further explore temporal correlation among video frames, we aggregate a temporal fusion module to infer instance masks from each frame to its adjacent frames, which helps our framework to handle challenging videos such as motion blur, partial occlusion and unusual object-to-camera poses. Experiments on the YouTube-VIS valid set show that the proposed STMask with ResNet-50/-101 backbone obtains 33.5 % / 36.8 % mask AP, while achieving 28.6 / 23.4 FPS on video instance segmentation. The code is released online https://github.com/MinghanLi/STMask.

  Given an untrimmed video, temporal sentence grounding aims to locate a target moment semantically according to a sentence query. Previous respectable works have made decent success, but they only focus on high-level visual features extracted from decoded frames. We propose a new setting, compressed-domain TSG, which directly utilizes compressed videos rather than fully-decompressed frames as the visual input.

• Consistent Video Instance Segmentation with Inter-Frame Recurrent Attention [23.72098615213679]
  Video instance segmentation aims at predicting object segmentation masks for each frame, as well as associating the instances across multiple frames. Recent end-to-end video instance segmentation methods are capable of performing object segmentation and instance association together in a direct parallel sequence decoding/prediction framework. We propose a consistent end-to-end video instance segmentation framework with Inter-Frame Recurrent Attention to model both the temporal instance consistency for adjacent frames and the global temporal context.

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.

  We propose a clip-in clip-out (CiCo) framework to exploit temporal information in video clips. CiCo strategy is free of interconditional-frame alignment, and can be easily embedded into existing FiFo based VIS approaches. Two new one-stage VIS models achieve 37.7.3%, 35.2/35.4% and 17.2/1% mask AP.
