CapMap-MS-TTA system ranks 3rd in LSVOS Challenge multimodal track

A research paper details CapMap-MS-TTA, a system that achieved third place in the MUMU track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge at ECCV 2026. This track required a single multimodal model to perform image tagging, open-vocabulary object detection, and English captioning within strict resource limitations. The CapMap-MS-TTA solution, built upon Microsoft Florence-2-base, utilized a training-free approach with caption keyword mapping and multi-scale flip test-time augmentation to improve performance.
