SUMO framework unifies visual object tracking and motion segmentation

Researchers have introduced SUMO, a novel framework designed to unify visual object tracking (VOT) and moving object segmentation (MOS). This zero-shot, training-free system integrates nonlinear dynamics with vision-based segmentation to handle complex and nonlinear object motions, which often challenge existing methods. SUMO utilizes a nonlinear State Space Model (SSM) inspired by robotics and a Selective Unscented Filter (SUF) for precise state estimation, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on both VOT and MOS tasks.

    SUMO: Segment and Track Any Motion with Nonlinear State Space Models

    arXiv:2606.29861v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual Object Tracking (VOT) and Moving Object Segmentation (MOS) are two fundamental tasks in computer vision that involve both spatial and temporal object dynamics. Existing methods rely predominantly on visual cues and thus oft…
