About this paper

Shuting He, Henghui Ding

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University developed DsHmp, a framework for referring video segmentation that decouples static and hierarchical motion perception from natural language. DsHmp achieved state-of-the-art results across five datasets, including a 9.2% improvement in J&F on MeViS, by enhancing the model's ability to distinguish objects based on motion.

Key insights

  • Explicitly decoupling static and motion cues in referring expressions allows for more precise linguistic guidance, improving both initial object grounding and subsequent temporal understanding.
  • Hierarchical processing of temporal information, which gradually expands the temporal receptive field, is crucial for comprehensively understanding actions that unfold over different durations in videos.
  • Using contrastive learning with a memory bank effectively structures the video token feature space, enabling models to better distinguish between visually similar objects solely based on their unique motion patterns.
