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.

TempoGround is a vision‑language model–native framework for streaming visual grounding that detects cross‑frame object correspondence and explicitly models object presence states. It uses a curriculum prediction mechanism to resolve 2D instance association, predict object entry, continuation, or exit, decode 2D boxes, and lift them to 3D camera‑frame boxes. The approach is further refined with Streaming Grounding Reinforcement, which optimizes grounding, identity, and consistency rewards, and achieves significant improvements on multiple streaming visual grounding benchmarks.

MAETrack introduces a lightweight framework to adapt pretrained masked autoencoder (MAE) representations for 3D single object tracking (SOT). It uses Layer‑Selective Initialization (LSI) to keep shallow geometric layers from the pre‑training while re‑initializing deeper layers, and Geometric Residual Gating (GRG) to emphasize salient regions in BEV features before template‑search fusion. Experiments on standard 3D SOT benchmarks show consistent improvements over vanilla fine‑tuning with minimal computational cost.

The paper introduces S$^3$T, a fully self‑contained framework for continuous video state tracking that uses temporal self‑distillation. It treats denser temporal sampling as privileged information, letting a dense‑view teacher guide a sparse‑view student to match its next‑token distribution without external labels or reward signals. Experiments on LLaVA-OneVision-2-8B show significant accuracy gains on VSTAT and MVBench benchmarks, and the learned capability transfers from synthetic to real videos.
