• Abstract: Dense point tracking is a challenging task requiring the continuous tracking of every point in the initial frame throughout a substantial portion of a video, even in the presence of occlusions. Traditional methods use optical flow models to directly estimate long-range motion, but they often suffer from appearance drifting without considering temporal consistency. Recent point tracking algorithms usually depend on sliding windows for indirect information propagation from the first frame to the current one, which is slow and less effective for long-range tracking. To account for temporal consistency and enable efficient information propagation, we present a lightweight and fast model with \textbf{S}treaming memory for dense \textbf{PO}int \textbf{T}racking and online video processing. The \textbf{SPOT} framework features three core components: a customized memory reading module for feature enhancement, a sensory memory for short-term motion dynamics modeling, and a visibility-guided splatting module for accurate information propagation. This combination enables SPOT to perform dense point tracking with state-of-the-art accuracy on the CVO benchmark, as well as comparable or superior performance to offline models on sparse tracking benchmarks such as TAP-Vid and RoboTAP. Notably, SPOT with 10$\times$ smaller parameter numbers operates at least 2$\times$ faster than previous state-of-the-art models while maintaining the best performance on CVO. We will release the models and codes at: https://github.com/DQiaole/SPOT.

  Temporal consistency is critical in video prediction to ensure that outputs are coherent and free of artifacts. Traditional methods, such as temporal attention and 3D convolution, may struggle with significant object motion. We propose the Tracktention Layer, a novel architectural component that explicitly integrates motion information using point tracks.

We present P2P-point and P2P-voxel models, incorporating implicit and explicit part-to-part motion modeling by point- and voxel-based representation, respectively.

• ACTrack: Adding Spatio-Temporal Condition for Visual Object Tracking [0.5371337604556311]
  Efficiently modeling-temporal relations of objects is a key challenge in visual object tracking (VOT) Existing methods track by appearance-based similarity or long-term relation modeling, resulting in rich temporal contexts between consecutive frames being easily overlooked. In this paper we present ACTrack, a new framework with additive pre-temporal tracking framework with large memory conditions. It preserves the quality and capabilities of the pre-trained backbone by freezing its parameters, and makes a trainable lightweight additive net to model temporal relations in tracking. We design an additive siamese convolutional network to ensure the integrity of spatial features and temporal sequence

  Unsupervised Video Object (VOS) aims at identifying the contours of primary foreground objects in videos without any prior knowledge. Previous methods do not fully use spatial-temporal context and fail to tackle this challenging task in real-time. This motivates us to develop an efficient Long-Short Temporal Attention network (termed LSTA) for unsupervised VOS task from a holistic view.

To enhance the utilization of multi-frame features for robust tracking, a contrastive sequence enhancement strategy is proposed.
