Tetris: Tile-level Sampling for Efficient and High-Fidelity Video Object Tracking

Tetris is a video object tracking system that uses tile-level sampling to efficiently extract high‑fidelity tracks. It partitions videos into tile‑based polyominoes, classifies relevant tiles, prunes redundant ones with an ILP under a user‑defined accuracy constraint, and packs the remaining polyominoes to minimize detector calls. On seven stationary‑video datasets, Tetris maintains less than a 5% loss in tracking accuracy while achieving up to 17.4× higher throughput than prior systems and up to 68.8× higher than a full‑frame reference pipeline.

TrackEverything: Long Horizon Dense Tracking via De-Duplicating 3D Scene Representations

TrackEverything is a 3D point tracker that overcomes the trade‑off between sparse long‑horizon tracking and dense short‑clip tracking by representing videos as persistent 3D scene tracks in world coordinates. It introduces voxel‑based de‑duplication at sliding‑window boundaries, a two‑stage refinement process (endpoint refiner and lightweight trajectory refiner), and a 3D WAFT module that replaces memory‑heavy 4D correlation volumes with efficient feature sampling. The method can track all visible points in videos longer than 1000 frames using only 40 GB of GPU memory, outperforming existing dense trackers on short clips and matching sparse trackers on long sequences.

ByteTraX: Enhancing the ByteTrack Architecture with Optimised Thresholding

ByteTraX is a lightweight enhancement to the ByteTrack multi‑object tracking architecture that introduces a single unified matching threshold and stricter track initiation criteria to reduce erroneous track reclassification and identity switches. The method yields consistent performance gains across several benchmarks—GMOT‑40, LC‑MOT, SportsMOT, TeamTrack, DAMUNT, and DeepSea‑MOT—while boosting processing speed by over 10%. Quantitatively, ByteTraX achieves more than a 40% drop in identity switches, with mean improvements of 3.6 in HOTA, 5.6 in IDF1, and 6.3 FPS.

SV-TAD: Native Sparse Convs for Efficient Temporal Action Detection

SV-TAD introduces native sparse 2D convolutions to enable convolutional adapters to operate directly on dynamically pruned token sets, addressing the inefficiency of dense reconstruction in token‑selection methods. By integrating this primitive into a temporal action detection framework, the approach cuts VideoMAEv2‑L computation by up to 64% and achieves 2.2× faster inference while preserving state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on THUMOS‑14 and ActivityNet‑1.3. When applied to InternVideoNext‑L, it surpasses prior state‑of‑the‑art performance at roughly half the computational cost and naturally supports auxiliary task tokens for improved fine‑grained assembly detection on ATTACH.
