Object Concepts Emerge from Motion

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.

IGGT4D: Streaming 4D Instance-Grounded Geometry Transformer

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.

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.

SAM-V: Geometry-Aware Segment Anything for Multi-View Instance Segmentation

SAM‑V is a geometry‑aware extension of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) that integrates 3D priors from a feed‑forward geometry model (VGGT) into 2D segmentation. It uses a prompt‑fusion mechanism to combine sparse SAM prompts with view‑specific camera tokens and local VGGT features, enabling a mask decoder that attends to both dense 2D and 3D cues. The resulting end‑to‑end system produces consistent multi‑view instance segmentation in a single forward pass, achieving significant gains on the IGGT 3D tracking benchmark without offline mask matching or explicit 3D reconstruction.
