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.
arXiv:2607. 09443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term animal re-identification (ReID) must remain robust to gradual morphological evolution and seasonal appearance shifts.
arXiv:2606. 14094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional RGB cameras have been widely used in multi-object tracking due to their ability to capture rich appearance and semantic information.
Video panoptic segmentation (VPS) aims to jointly detect, segment, and track all objects while partitioning the video into semantically consistent regions. We introduce the task setting of unsupervised VPS, omitting any human supervision.
arXiv:2401. 10805v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the novel concept of visually Connecting Actions and Their Effects (CATE) in video understanding.
arXiv:2607. 09876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatically retrieving videos from large camera-trap datasets remains challenging.
arXiv:2605. 01720v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing large-scale sign language resources typically provide supervision only at the level of raw video-text alignment and are often produced in laboratory settings.
Precise Event Spotting (PES) requires distinguishing visually similar yet semantically distinct adjacent frames, making it fundamentally different from image classification and coarse action recognition. Although self-distillation methods such as DINO have shown strong representation learning ability in images, we find that directly applying them to PES is ineffective: without supervised guidance, subtle but crucial motion cues are often suppressed as noise, leading to representations that are insensitive to precise event boundaries.
arXiv:2602. 14771v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The human visual system tracks objects by integrating current observations with previously observed information, adapting to target and scene changes, and reasoning about occlusion at fine granularity.
arXiv:2607. 02680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: MLLMs have shown strong zero-shot capabilities across diverse inputs such as across images, video, audio, and text.
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.
arXiv:2607. 17157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-object tracking (MOT) aims to localize multiple objects in videos while preserving their identities over time.
arXiv:2510. 14904v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dense Video Object Captioning (DVOC) is the task of jointly detecting, tracking, and captioning object trajectories in a video, requiring the ability to understand spatio-temporal details and describe them in natural language.
