• Abstract: Amodal perception requires inferring the full shape of an object that is partially occluded. This task is particularly challenging on two levels: (1) it requires more information than what is contained in the instant retina or imaging sensor, (2) it is difficult to obtain enough well-annotated amodal labels for supervision. To this end, this paper develops a new framework of Self-supervised amodal Video object segmentation (SaVos). Our method efficiently leverages the visual information of video temporal sequences to infer the amodal mask of objects. The key intuition is that the occluded part of an object can be explained away if that part is visible in other frames, possibly deformed as long as the deformation can be reasonably learned. Accordingly, we derive a novel self-supervised learning paradigm that efficiently utilizes the visible object parts as the supervision to guide the training on videos. In addition to learning type prior to complete masks for known types, SaVos also learns the spatiotemporal prior, which is also useful for the amodal task and could generalize to unseen types. The proposed framework achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the synthetic amodal segmentation benchmark FISHBOWL and the real world benchmark KINS-Video-Car. Further, it lends itself well to being transferred to novel distributions using test-time adaptation, outperforming existing models even after the transfer to a new distribution.

  We introduce an appearance-based refinement method that leverages temporal consistency in video streams to correct inaccurate flow-based proposals. Our approach involves a sequence-level selection mechanism that identifies accurate flow-predicted masks as exemplars. Its performance is evaluated on multiple video segmentation benchmarks, including DAVIS, YouTube, SegTrackv2, and FBMS-59.

  We present Masked Motion MME, a new pre-training paradigm that reconstructs both appearance and motion information to explore temporal clues. Motivated by the fact that human is able to recognize an action by tracking objects' position changes and shape changes, we propose to reconstruct a motion trajectory that represents these two kinds of change in the masked regions. Pre-trained with our MME paradigm, the model is able to anticipate long-term and fine-grained motion details.

  Semi-supervised object segmentation is a task of segmenting the target object in a video sequence given only a mask in the first frame. Most previous best-performing methods adopt matching-based transductive reasoning or online inductive learning. We propose to integrate transductive and inductive learning into a unified framework to exploit complement between them for accurate and robust video object segmentation.

  Video object segmentation (VOS) is a highly challenging problem since the initial mask, defining the target object, is only given at test-time. Most previous approaches fine-tune segmentation networks on the first frame, resulting in impractical frame-rates and risk of overfitting. We propose a novel VOS architecture consisting of two network components.
