• Abstract: Online tracking of multiple objects in videos requires strong capacity of modeling and matching object appearances. Previous methods for learning appearance embedding mostly rely on instance-level matching without considering the temporal continuity provided by videos. We design a new instance-to-track matching objective to learn appearance embedding that compares a candidate detection to the embedding of the tracks persisted in the tracker. It enables us to learn not only from videos labeled with complete tracks, but also unlabeled or partially labeled videos. We implement this learning objective in a unified form following the spirit of constrastive loss. Experiments on multiple object tracking datasets demonstrate that our method can effectively learning discriminative appearance embeddings in a semi-supervised fashion and outperform state of the art methods on representative benchmarks.

  We present Quasi-Dense Similarity Learning, which densely samples hundreds of object regions on a pair of images for contrastive learning. We find that the resulting distinctive feature space admits a simple nearest neighbor search at inference time for object association. We show that our similarity learning scheme is not limited to video data, but can learn effective instance similarity even from static input.

  We show that it is possible to learn to localize actions in untrimmed videos when only one/few trimmed examples of the target action are available at test time. We propose a network that learns to estimate Temporal Similarity Matrices (TSMs) that model a fine-grained similarity pattern between pairs of videos. Our method achieves performance comparable or better to state-of-the-art fully-supervised, few-shot learning methods.

  Self-supervised visual representation learning is key for efficient video analysis. Recent success in learning image representations suggests contrastive learning is a promising framework to tackle this challenge. We introduce a cooperative variant of contrastive learning to utilize complementary information across views.

  We present a novel framework that uses complementary views in the form of appearance and motion information for semi-supervised learning in video. Our method capitalizes on multiple views, but it nonetheless trains a model that is shared across appearance and motion input. On multiple video recognition datasets, our method substantially outperforms its supervised counterpart, and compares favorably to previous work on standard benchmarks in self-supervised video representation learning.

  We introduce a novel semi-supervised framework by learning instance tracking networks with only a labeled image dataset and unlabeled video sequences. We show that even when only trained with images, the learned feature representation is robust to instance appearance variations. In addition, we integrate this module into single-stage instance segmentation and pose estimation frameworks.
