• Abstract summary: We explore the potential of applying the Segment Anything Model to track and segment objects in videos. Specifically, we iteratively propagate the bounding box of each object's mask in the preceding frame as the prompt for the next frame. To enhance SAM's denoising capability against position and size variations, we propose a multi-prompt strategy.

• Abstract: Recently, promptable segmentation models, such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM), have demonstrated robust zero-shot generalization capabilities on static images. These promptable models exhibit denoising abilities for imprecise prompt inputs, such as imprecise bounding boxes. In this paper, we explore the potential of applying SAM to track and segment objects in videos where we recognize the tracking task as a prompt denoising task. Specifically, we iteratively propagate the bounding box of each object's mask in the preceding frame as the prompt for the next frame. Furthermore, to enhance SAM's denoising capability against position and size variations, we propose a multi-prompt strategy where we provide multiple jittered and scaled box prompts for each object and preserve the mask prediction with the highest semantic similarity to the template mask. We also introduce a point-based refinement stage to handle occlusions and reduce cumulative errors. Without involving tracking modules, our approach demonstrates comparable performance in video object/instance segmentation tasks on three datasets: DAVIS2017, YouTubeVOS2018, and UVO, serving as a concise baseline and endowing SAM-based downstream applications with tracking capabilities.

  Crowd-SAM is a framework designed to enhance SAM's performance in crowded and occluded scenes. We introduce an efficient prompt sampler (EPS) and a part-whole discrimination network (PWD-Net) to enhance mask selection and accuracy in crowded scenes.

  The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has gained notable recognition for its exceptional performance in image segmentation. Camouflaged objects typically blend into the background, making them difficult to distinguish in still images. We propose a new method called the SAM Spider Module (SAM-PM) to overcome these challenges. Our method effectively incorporates temporal consistency and domain-specific expertise into the segmentation network with an addition of less than 1% of SAM's parameters.

  The Segment Anything Model (SAM) marks a notable milestone in segmentation models. We propose FocSAM with a pipeline redesigned on two pivotal aspects. First, we propose Dynamic Window Multi-head Self-Attention (Dwin-MSA) to dynamically refocus SAM's image embeddings on the target object. Second, we propose Pixel-wise Dynamic ReLU (P-DyReLU) to enable sufficient integration of interactive information from a few initial clicks.

  This paper presents a novel method for point-centric interactive video segmentation, empowered by SAM and long-term point tracking. We highlight the merits of point-based tracking through direct evaluation on the zero-shot open-world Unidentified Video Objects (UVO) benchmark. Our experiments on popular video object segmentation and multi-object segmentation tracking benchmarks, including DAVIS, YouTube-VOS, and BDD100K, suggest that a point-based segmentation tracker yields better zero-shot performance and efficient interactions.
