When Predicting Nothing Beats SAM 3: Revisiting Evaluation in Video Object Segmentation

The paper introduces FaVOS, a benchmark for Video Object Segmentation (VOS) that focuses on scenarios where target objects appear only intermittently over long videos. It demonstrates that the standard J&F metric can be gamed by empty predictions, allowing trivial models to outperform strong ones like SAM 3. To address this, the authors propose Volumetric J&F, which treats mask sequences as spatio‑temporal volumes, reducing the influence of target‑absence rewards while maintaining sensitivity to segmentation quality and temporal structure.

DiDA: Video Object Segmentation with Distillation Learning of Deformable Attention

DiDA introduces a lightweight video object segmentation framework that leverages Distillation Learning of Deformable Attention. The method uses deformable attention to adapt key and value positions across frames, enabling object representations that are responsive to spatial and temporal changes. Experiments on DAVIS and YouTube‑VOS benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance and efficient memory usage.

Real-time Unsupervised Object Discovery from Asynchronous Event Streams

The paper presents a lightweight, training‑free framework for real‑time unsupervised object discovery from asynchronous event camera streams. It introduces a linear‑time Spatio‑Temporal Probabilistic Event Filter (SPEF) that adaptively distinguishes salient motion from noise, and an Event Morton Code Clustering (EMCC) module that efficiently groups events without costly distance calculations. Experiments on E‑MLB, FRED, and eTraM datasets show SPEF outperforms classical filters and competes with learning‑based methods, while EMCC achieves the highest accuracy and fastest execution among density‑based clustering baselines.
