• Authors: Quanzeng You, Jiang Wang, Peng Chu, Andre Abrantes, Zicheng Liu
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: 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. Although these methods generally predict higher quality object segmentation masks, they can fail to associate instances in challenging cases because they do not explicitly model the temporal instance consistency for adjacent frames. 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 extensive experiments demonstrate that the Inter-Frame Recurrent Attention significantly improves temporal instance consistency while maintaining the quality of the object segmentation masks. Our model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on both YouTubeVIS-2019 (62.1\%) and YouTubeVIS-2021 (54.7\%) datasets. In addition, quantitative and qualitative results show that the proposed methods predict more temporally consistent instance segmentation masks.

  Video segmentation aims at partitioning video sequences into meaningful segments based on objects or regions of interest within frames. Current video segmentation models are often derived from image segmentation techniques, which struggle to cope with small-scale or class-imbalanced video datasets. We propose a training strategy Masked Video Consistency, which enhances spatial and temporal feature aggregation.

  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.

In the second pass, i.e., contextual segmentation, we introduce multiple contextual segmentation schemes. Experiments conducted on the DAVIS Test-Challenge dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework.

For the first time, we demonstrate a much simpler and faster video instance segmentation framework built upon Transformers, achieving competitive accuracy.
