• Abstract summary: Referring multi-object tracking (RMOT) is an emerging cross-modal task that aims to localize an arbitrary number of targets. We conduct a collaborative matching strategy to alleviate the impact of the imbalance, boosting the ability to detect newborn targets. In the encoder, we integrate and enhance the cross-modal and multi-scale fusion, overcoming the bottlenecks in previous work.

• Abstract: Referring multi-object tracking (RMOT) is an emerging cross-modal task that aims to localize an arbitrary number of targets based on a language expression and continuously track them in a video. This intricate task involves reasoning on multi-modal data and precise target localization with temporal association. However, prior studies overlook the imbalanced data distribution between newborn targets and existing targets due to the nature of the task. In addition, they only indirectly fuse multi-modal features, struggling to deliver clear guidance on newborn target detection. To solve the above issues, we conduct a collaborative matching strategy to alleviate the impact of the imbalance, boosting the ability to detect newborn targets while maintaining tracking performance. In the encoder, we integrate and enhance the cross-modal and multi-scale fusion, overcoming the bottlenecks in previous work, where limited multi-modal information is shared and interacted between feature maps. In the decoder, we also develop a referring-infused adaptation that provides explicit referring guidance through the query tokens. The experiments showcase the superior performance of our model (+3.42%) compared to prior works, demonstrating the effectiveness of our designs.

  We propose the Low-rank Prompt Interaction to address the problem of multi-modal understanding. Considering that the training parameters scale to the number of layers and tasks, we propose low-rank interaction-augmented decomposition. We also adopt hierarchical low-rank contrastive learning to ensure robustness training.

Our proposed framework serializes language description and bounding box into a sequence of discrete tokens. In this new design paradigm, all token queries are required to perceive the desired target and directly predict spatial coordinates of the target.

  In visual semantic navigation, the robot navigates to a target object with egocentric visual observations and the class label of the target is given. Most of the existing models are only effective for single-agent navigation, and a single agent has low efficiency and poor fault tolerance when completing more complicated tasks. We propose the multi-agent visual semantic navigation, in which multiple agents collaborate with others to find multiple target objects.
