ORMOT: A Dataset and Framework for Omnidirectional Referring Multi-Object Tracking

The paper introduces ORMOT, a new task that extends Referring Multi‑Object Tracking to omnidirectional 360° imagery, ensuring full scene context for language‑guided tracking. It presents ORSet, a dataset of 27 omnidirectional scenes with 848 language descriptions and 3,401 annotated objects, and introduces ORTrack, an LVLM‑driven framework that performs zero‑shot detection and robust cross‑frame association. Experiments on ORSet show that ORTrack achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, establishing a strong baseline for future research.

YesTrack: Referring Multi-Object Tracking via MLLM-based Yes/No Verification

YesTrack introduces a two‑stage referring multi‑object tracking approach that treats the task as a discriminative Yes/No verification problem, directly using multimodal large language models (MLLMs) without generating captions. It adds lightweight temporal consistency constraints—Temporal Confidence Prior (TCP) and Temporal Reference Propagation (TRP)—to improve reliability and efficiency. The method also extends to generic multi‑object tracking as YesTrack‑MOT, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on Refer‑KITTI datasets while remaining efficient even with the smallest Qwen3‑VL variant.
