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.

TAPVid-MV: A Benchmark for Tracking Any Point in 3D Across Multiple Views

TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.

VastMAT: A Large-Scale Multi-Category Benchmark for Multi-Animal Tracking

VastMAT is a large‑scale multi‑animal tracking benchmark featuring 2,947 videos, 337 animal categories, and over 3.6 million bounding boxes with 22,883 identity trajectories. It emphasizes high‑quality, expert‑reviewed annotations and introduces Seen‑category and Unseen‑category evaluation protocols, revealing significant challenges in tracking unseen animals. The authors also propose a lightweight Center‑Distance‑Augmented Association module that boosts HOTA scores for existing MOT methods without extra training.
