ICCV 2023

We propose a Spectrum-guided Multi-granularity (SgMg) approach that follows a segment-and-optimize pipeline to tackle the feature drift issue found in previous decode-and-segment approaches. Extensive experiments show that SgMg achieves state-of-the-art overall performance on multiple benchmark datasets, outperforming the closest competitor by 2.8% points on Ref-YouTube-VOS with faster inference time.

The main setup of our code follows Referformer.

Please refer to install.md for installation.

Please refer to data.md for data preparation.

All the models are trained using 2 RTX 3090 GPU. If you encounter the OOM error, please add the command --use_checkpoint.

The training and evaluation scripts are included in the scripts folder. If you want to train/evaluate SgMg, please run the following command:

sh dist_train_ytvos_videoswinb.sh

sh dist_test_ytvos_videoswinb.sh

Note: You can modify the --backbone and --backbone_pretrained to specify a backbone.

We provide the pretrained model for different visual backbones and the checkpoints for SgMg (refer below).

You can put the models in the checkpoints folder to start training/inference.

To evaluate the results, please upload the zip file to the competition server.

The overall IoU is used as the metric, and the model is obtained from the pre-training stage mentioned in the paper.
