Video object segmentation (VOS) is a fundamental task in video understanding, requiring accurate delineation and consistent tracking of objects across frames. While supervised methods achieve strong performance, they rely on densely annotated datasets that are costly to obtain and have limited domain coverage.
arXiv:2606. 26994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing referring video segmentation methods often treat a video as a single event consisting of multiple images, overlooking the fact that a video typically contains multiple distinct events.

Animal pose estimation and tracking is important for wildlife monitoring and conservation research, and with limited expert time for labelling automated approaches are imperative. While human pose estimation and tracking has seen rapid progress thanks to large annotated datasets, animal pose remain challenging, due to large morphological and behavioural differences between species and limited annotated data.

Real-world spatial intelligence requires agents to understand scenes from continuous video streams, where objects move, persist, disappear, and reappear over time. While recent spatial foundation models have enabled generalizable feed-forward 3D reconstruction, most streaming methods remain geometry-centric and lack temporally consistent object-level understanding.
arXiv:2603. 24016v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) has traditionally focused on a few specific categories, restricting its applicability to real-world scenarios involving diverse objects.
