The paper introduces MoRSe, a method that segments only the regions that actually move between two frames, rather than labeling entire objects as moving. Unlike prior approaches that rely on instance-level proposals and often misattribute motion to whole objects, MoRSe jointly interprets two frames with a single RGB encoder, eliminating the need for optical flow or separate mask generators. The authors also release MoRSe-5K, a benchmark of 42 sequences designed to test the model’s ability to differentiate moving and stationary regions under various camera and scene motion conditions, and demonstrate that MoRSe outperforms existing moving object segmentation and dense 4D reconstruction methods with fewer false positives.
The paper introduces a promptable localized motion representation that generates persistent embeddings for user-specified regions in a video, without cropping or masking the input. By conditioning motion encoding directly on spatial masks while processing the full video, the method produces temporally consistent, region-addressable embeddings that capture local dynamics while preserving global context. These embeddings enable object-level motion transfer for dynamic scene composition and improve localized action classification in multi-actor videos, outperforming global representations that rely on cropping or post-hoc masking.

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.
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.
