• Title: Moving Object Segmentation: All You Need Is SAM (and Flow)
• Authors: Junyu Xie, Charig Yang, Weidi Xie, Andrew Zisserman,
• Abstract summary: We investigate two models for combining SAM with optical flow that harness the segmentation power of SAM with the ability of flow to discover and group moving objects. In the first model, we adapt SAM to take optical flow, rather than RGB, as an input. In the second, SAM takes RGB as an input, and flow is used as a segmentation prompt. These surprisingly simple methods, without any further modifications, outperform all previous approaches by a considerable margin in both single and multi-object benchmarks.

• Abstract: The objective of this paper is motion segmentation -- discovering and segmenting the moving objects in a video. This is a much studied area with numerous careful,and sometimes complex, approaches and training schemes including: self-supervised learning, learning from synthetic datasets, object-centric representations, amodal representations, and many more. Our interest in this paper is to determine if the Segment Anything model (SAM) can contribute to this task. We investigate two models for combining SAM with optical flow that harness the segmentation power of SAM with the ability of flow to discover and group moving objects. In the first model, we adapt SAM to take optical flow, rather than RGB, as an input. In the second, SAM takes RGB as an input, and flow is used as a segmentation prompt. These surprisingly simple methods, without any further modifications, outperform all previous approaches by a considerable margin in both single and multi-object benchmarks. We also extend these frame-level segmentations to sequence-level segmentations that maintain object identity. Again, this simple model outperforms previous methods on multiple video object segmentation benchmarks.

  We propose an approach to segment arbitrary unknown objects in images by generalizing from a limited set of annotated object classes during training. Our approach shows strong generalization capabilities on COCO, LVIS, and ADE20k datasets and improves on the precision by up to 81.6% compared to the state-of-the-art.

  The Segment Anything Model (SAM) was introduced to the computer vision community by Meta in April 2023. SAM excels in zero-shot performance, segmenting unseen objects without additional training, stimulated by a large dataset of over one billion image masks. SAM 2 expands this functionality to video, leveraging memory from preceding and subsequent frames to generate accurate segmentation across entire videos.

  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.
