• Abstract summary: We propose a novel Sequential Weighted Expectation-Maximization (SWEM) network to greatly reduce the redundancy of memory features. SWEM combines intra-frame and inter-frame similar features by leveraging the sequential weighted EM algorithm. Experiments on commonly used DAVIS and YouTube-VOS datasets verify the high efficiency (36 FPS) and high performance (84.3% $mathcalJ&mathcalF$ on DAVIS 2017 validation dataset)

• Abstract: Matching-based methods, especially those based on space-time memory, are significantly ahead of other solutions in semi-supervised video object segmentation (VOS). However, continuously growing and redundant template features lead to an inefficient inference. To alleviate this, we propose a novel Sequential Weighted Expectation-Maximization (SWEM) network to greatly reduce the redundancy of memory features. Different from the previous methods which only detect feature redundancy between frames, SWEM merges both intra-frame and inter-frame similar features by leveraging the sequential weighted EM algorithm. Further, adaptive weights for frame features endow SWEM with the flexibility to represent hard samples, improving the discrimination of templates. Besides, the proposed method maintains a fixed number of template features in memory, which ensures the stable inference complexity of the VOS system. Extensive experiments on commonly used DAVIS and YouTube-VOS datasets verify the high efficiency (36 FPS) and high performance (84.3\% $\mathcal{J}\&\mathcal{F}$ on DAVIS 2017 validation dataset) of SWEM.

  We establish correspondences directly between frames without re-encoding the mask features for every object. With the correspondences, every node in the current query frame is inferred by aggregating features from the past in an associative fashion. We validated that every memory node now has a chance to contribute, and experimentally showed that such diversified voting is beneficial to both memory efficiency and inference accuracy.

We propose to use shift operation to generate the redundant features (i.e., Ghost features) of SISR models. We show that both the non-compact and lightweight SISR models embedded in our proposed module can achieve comparable performance to that of their baselines.
