• Abstract summary: We propose an optical flow-guided approach for semi-supervised video object segmentation. A model to extract the combined information from optical flow and the image is proposed. Experiments on DAVIS 2017 and YouTube-VOS 2019 show that by integrating the information extracted from optical flow into the original image branch results in a strong performance gain.

• Abstract: We propose an optical flow-guided approach for semi-supervised video object segmentation. Optical flow is usually exploited as additional guidance information in unsupervised video object segmentation. However, its relevance in semi-supervised video object segmentation has not been fully explored. In this work, we follow an encoder-decoder approach to address the segmentation task. A model to extract the combined information from optical flow and the image is proposed, which is then used as input to the target model and the decoder network. Unlike previous methods where concatenation is used to integrate information from image data and optical flow, a simple yet effective attention mechanism is exploited in our work. Experiments on DAVIS 2017 and YouTube-VOS 2019 show that by integrating the information extracted from optical flow into the original image branch results in a strong performance gain and our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.

  Zero-shot object segmentation (ZS-VOS) aims to segment objects in a video sequence without prior knowledge of these objects. Existing ZS-VOS methods often struggle to distinguish between foreground and background or to keep track of the foreground in complex scenarios. We propose an encoder-decoder-based hierarchical co-attention propagation network (HCPN) capable of tracking and segmenting objects.

  Semi-supervised video object segmentation (VOS) aims to segment a few moving objects in a video sequence, where these objects are specified by annotation of first frame. The optical flow has been considered in many existing semi-supervised VOS methods to improve the segmentation accuracy. A FAMINet, which consists of a feature extraction network (F), an appearance network (A), a motion network (M), and an integration network (I), is proposed in this study to address the abovementioned problem.

• The Emergence of Objectness: Learning Zero-Shot Segmentation from Videos [59.12750806239545]
  We show that a video has different views of the same scene related by moving components, and the right region segmentation and region flow would allow mutual view synthesis. Our model starts with two separate pathways: an appearance pathway that outputs feature-based region segmentation for a single image, and a motion pathway that outputs motion features for a pair of images. By training the model to minimize view synthesis errors based on segment flow, our appearance and motion pathways learn region segmentation and flow estimation automatically without building them up from low-level edges or optical flows respectively.

In order to further improve the architecture we introduce a weight function which aims to re-balance classes to increase the attention of the networks to under-represented objects.

In this way, the encoder becomes deeply internative, allowing for closely hierarchical interactions between object motion and appearance.
