We propose a Generalized framework for VIS, namely GenVIS, that achieves state-of-the-art performance on challenging benchmarks.

• Abstract: The handling of long videos with complex and occluded sequences has recently emerged as a new challenge in the video instance segmentation (VIS) community. However, existing methods have limitations in addressing this challenge. We argue that the biggest bottleneck in current approaches is the discrepancy between training and inference. To effectively bridge this gap, we propose a Generalized framework for VIS, namely GenVIS, that achieves state-of-the-art performance on challenging benchmarks without designing complicated architectures or requiring extra post-processing. The key contribution of GenVIS is the learning strategy, which includes a query-based training pipeline for sequential learning with a novel target label assignment. Additionally, we introduce a memory that effectively acquires information from previous states. Thanks to the new perspective, which focuses on building relationships between separate frames or clips, GenVIS can be flexibly executed in both online and semi-online manner. We evaluate our approach on popular VIS benchmarks, achieving state-of-the-art results on YouTube-VIS 2019/2021/2022 and Occluded VIS (OVIS). Notably, we greatly outperform the state-of-the-art on the long VIS benchmark (OVIS), improving 5.6 AP with ResNet-50 backbone. Code is available at https://github.com/miranheo/GenVIS.

  Videocaption instance segmentation requires classifying, segmenting, and tracking every object across video frames. We propose UVIS, a novel Unsupervised Video Instance (UVIS) framework that can perform video instance segmentation without any video annotations or dense label-based pretraining. Our framework consists of three essential steps: frame-level pseudo-label generation, transformer-based VIS model training, and query-based tracking.

  Discrimination of instance embeddings plays a vital role in associating instances across time for online video instance segmentation (VIS) Recent online VIS methods leverage CIs sourced from one reference frame only, which we argue is insufficient for learning highly discriminative embeddings. We propose a simple yet effective training strategy, called Consistent Training for Online VIS (CTVIS), which devotes to aligning the training and inference pipelines.

  Video instance segmentation (VIS) is a critical task with diverse applications, including autonomous driving and video editing. Existing methods often underperform on complex and long videos in real world, primarily due to two factors. We propose a decoupling strategy for VIS by dividing it into three independent sub-tasks: segmentation, tracking, and refinement.
