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.

VIVAS: Vitalizing Visual Perception in VLM Pre-training via Vision-language Unified Autoregressive Supervision

VIVAS is a new Vision‑Language Model pre‑training framework that addresses the lack of fine‑grained visual perception in existing VLMs. It introduces a unified token space and a dense‑structural‑semantic vision tokenizer that expands the textual vocabulary with visual tokens, enabling vision‑language unified autoregressive supervision over both visual details and linguistic content. Trained on 12.4 T tokens, VIVAS achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on 7 tasks and 39 multimodal benchmarks.

Vision-Language Guided Hyperspectral Object Tracking via Semantics Fusion and Contextual Template Updating

Hyperspectral object tracking (HOT) leverages the rich spectral information provided by hyperspectral videos (HSVs), offering substantial potential for object tracking. However, efficiently extracting and exploiting spectral information from redundant spectral bands remains a fundamental challenge, which severely limits model generalization and tracking performance.

Benchmarking and Boosting Multilingual Capabilities of LVLMs via OCR-Centric Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces PM4Bench, a multimodal, multilingual, multi-task benchmark built on a strictly parallel 10‑language corpus, allowing fair cross‑lingual comparison of Large Vision‑Language Models (LVLMs). It also proposes a vision setting that embeds textual inputs directly into images to better mimic real deployment scenarios. Experiments show OCR performance drives cross‑lingual gaps, leading to an OCR‑centric GRPO training strategy that improves multilingual VQA and reduces disparities without costly supervision.

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.
