The paper introduces Savvy, a zero‑shot, semi‑online, class‑agnostic system that persistently discovers objects and maintains their identities in long videos, and OGA, an evaluation suite that rewards coherent part‑level predictions even when their granularity differs from reference annotations. Savvy combines modular mask discovery, deferred admission based on accumulated evidence, and track consolidation to keep an evolving object set, outperforming DEVA+SAM and EntitySAM on ScanNet and HM3D datasets in metrics such as VPQ_inf, STQ, and AQ. OGA further distinguishes coherent part‑level support from temporal identity failures, revealing that conventional one‑to‑one VPQ metrics are sensitive to annotation granularity and that temporal failures can be detected even when frame‑level masks remain unchanged.

Syn2RealTrack addresses the synthetic‑to‑real gap in multi‑camera 3D perception for warehouses by decomposing it into three distinct issues: camera calibration, object shape prior, and known object census. The pipeline corrects lens distortion from images, fuses detections with a visibility‑weighted part‑based descriptor, measures person height directly from calibration, and uses a closed‑world cardinality prior with a causal filter to eliminate phantom boxes. These local remedies allow the system to adapt without retraining a feature extractor, achieving a 3D HOTA of 52.0118% on the AI City Challenge 2026 Track 1.

Segmentation-based multi-object tracking (MOT) with foundation video models such as SAM2 offers strong localization quality, yet remains fragile in crowded, real-world scenes. In detector-prompted SAM...
LiAM‑SAM is a lifecycle‑aware memory framework designed to improve segmentation‑based multi‑object tracking (MOT) with the SAM2 foundation video model. It addresses three common failure modes—faulty track initiation, memory drift during close interactions, and unreliable re‑identification after occlusion—by introducing contrastive track initiation, motion‑ and geometry‑grounded memory correction, and adaptive context memory. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art HOTA and IDF1 scores, with ablations showing significant gains in association metrics and a 96% reduction in identity switches.
