GLEE introduces an object-level foundation model that unifies diverse visual perception tasks, encompassing detection, segmentation, tracking, and grounding. The model demonstrates state-of-the-art zero-shot generalization across various image and video benchmarks, outperforming existing methods like OVTrack by 36% on TAO for open-world video tracking, and offers a cohesive framework for object-centric understanding.

Key insights

  • A unified object-level foundation model can achieve state-of-the-art performance across diverse image and video perception tasks, reducing the need for specialized models.
  • Leveraging diverse data sources with varying levels of supervision and large-scale automatically labeled data is critical for developing robust zero-shot generalization capabilities in object-centric visual AI.
  • Object embeddings derived from a unified framework can inherently support complex temporal tasks like multi-object tracking, especially when enhanced with contrastive learning for temporal consistency, without requiring explicit tracking heads.
