MoVISA: Multi-Token Reasoning for Video Object Segmentation

MoVISA introduces Multi-Token Reasoning for Video Object Segmentation, using multiple segmentation tokens (e.g., SEG0, SEG1) instead of a single token to better localize multiple objects over time. This approach enhances fine-grained alignment between language prompts and spatio-temporal mask predictions, leading to improved performance and interpretability. On benchmarks such as MeViS, DAVIS17, ReVOS, and Ref-Youtube-VOS, MoVISA achieves significant gains, notably a 13.2% J and F improvement on MeViS and an 8.4% J and F improvement on ReVOS.

ARGenSeg: Image Segmentation with Autoregressive Image Generation Model

ARGenSeg introduces an autoregressive generation-based approach for image segmentation that integrates seamlessly with multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Unlike prior methods that use boundary points or dedicated segmentation heads, ARGenSeg generates dense masks directly through visual token output and detokenization via a universal VQ‑VAE, enabling fine‑grained pixel‑level perception. The framework employs a next‑scale‑prediction strategy to parallelize token generation, resulting in faster inference while outperforming state‑of‑the‑art segmentation models on multiple datasets.

Adaptive Two-Stage Visual Token Pruning for Efficient Inference in Video-Language Models

arXiv:2608. 03112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models excel at image and video understanding but suffer from high inference latency due to the need to process thousands of tokens per image, limiting their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices and in real-time surveillance applications.
