Segment Anything with Motion, Geometry, and Semantic Adaptation for Complex Nonlinear Visual Object Tracking
Researchers have developed SAMOSA, a novel tracking framework that enhances the capabilities of the SAM 2 vision foundation model for complex visual object tracking. SAMOSA explicitly incorporates motion dynamics, geometric consistency, and semantic cues to improve tracking performance, addressing limitations of directly applying SAM 2 to dynamic scenarios. The framework demonstrates superior generalization compared to supervised methods and achieves significant gains on challenging datasets, particularly those involving nonlinear motion like anti-UAV scenarios.
