abstract

We find Mask2Former also achieves state-of-the-art performance on video instance segmentation without modifying the architecture, the loss or even the training pipeline. In this report, we show universal image segmentation architectures trivially generalize to video segmentation by directly predicting 3D segmentation volumes. Specifically, Mask2Former sets a new state-of-the-art of 60.4 AP on YouTubeVIS-2019 and 52.6 AP on YouTubeVIS-2021. We believe Mask2Former is also capable of handling video semantic and panoptic segmentation, given its versatility in image segmentation. We hope this will make state-of-the-art video segmentation research more accessible and bring more attention to designing universal image and video segmentation architectures.

SAM-MT: Real-Time Interactive Multi-Target Video Segmentation

cs.CV · 2026-07-09 · conditional · novelty 6.0

A modified video segmentation architecture decouples processing latency from target count, enabling real-time (>36 FPS) tracking of 10+ objects simultaneously while preserving individual identities.

SA-VIS: Sparse frame Annotations for training Video Instance Segmentation

cs.CV · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

SA-VIS trains video instance segmentation models on sparse frame annotations via a Past-frames Feature Propagation module and frame-specific instance queries, showing only a 0.4% AP drop versus dense training on YouTube-VIS and OVIS benchmarks.
