Turbulence-Robust Dynamic Object Segmentation with Multi-Signal Priors and SAM2 Refinement

In this work, we present our solution for the 8th UG2+ Challenge (CVPR 2026) Track 3: Dynamic Object Segmentation in Turbulence (DOST). Our method is built upon the strong baseline framework Segment Any Motion (SegAnyMo), which provides powerful mask generation and motion tracking capabilities. To further boost the segmentation performance under severe atmospheric distortions, we propose two key improvements. First, we employ a data-centric domain adaptation strategy. We significantly expand our training data by incorporating selected sequences from the DAVIS dataset alongside a subset of the DOST dataset, and apply simulated atmospheric fluctuation degradations to enhance the model's robustness against complex geometric distortions. Second, we introduce a spatio-temporal post-processing module. This refinement step effectively removes persistent boundary-connected false foregrounds and short-lived fragmented noise, while strictly preserving genuine small targets and maintaining original individual labels across frames. With these combined strategies, our proposed method ranks the 2st place in the challenge.

Dynamic object segmentation plays a critical role in many visual applications such as static scene reconstruction from dynamic videos. However, existing optical flow-based methods fail to ensure consistent static/dynamic segmentation along object boundaries, while 3D reconstruction-based approaches are highly sensitive to reconstruction errors. To address these limitations, we present a dynamic object segmentation framework that can generate both precise and complete dynamic masks by integrating multimodal cues including 2D point tracks, 3D reconstruction, and semantic information. We design a network combining Transformer architectures with feature clustering aggregation modules to perform static/dynamic classification of multimodal feature trajectories. It enables the model to adaptively determine which type of feature should dominate based on the characteristics of each scene, while also mitigating the impact of feature degradation. Additionally, we introduce a novel point-query-based SAM post-processing method capable of handling multiple objects within a single mask. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in both dynamic object segmentation and static scene reconstruction tasks.

Remote-sensing and UAV applications need models that generalize across platforms and viewpoints without task-specific training. Yet training-free pipelines often falter on oriented geometry, scale/rotation variation, and crowded ports or airfields, and rarely unify detection and segmentation. We introduce ZODS-RS, a training-free, closed-form pipeline that outputs horizontal boxes (HBB) and instance masks. Built on DINOv3 dense features and SAM-style proposals, ZODS-RS chains: PP (prototype purification via Tyler covariance), R-SEM (rotation-scale equivariant matching with separable kernels and global Hungarian assignment), and UAM (uncertainty-aware pixelwise merging with adaptive priors and optional negative prototypes). A lightweight CWLA fuses multiple DINOv3 layers. On FAIR1M (HBB) we obtain $\mathrm{mAP}_{0.50:0.95}=\mathbf{13.06}$ and $\mathrm{AP}_S=\mathbf{2.93}$ \emph{(class-averaged over ship/airplane)}; on xView (HBB) we report $\mathrm{mAP}=\mathbf{16.69}$. On our UAV dataset, ZODS-RS achieves mask $\mathrm{mIoU}=\mathbf{31.10}$ and improves small-object AP by $\mathbf{+30.70}$ over Grounded-SAM on a single 5090. This work offers a unified, \emph{no-training} solution for horizontal-box detection plus instance segmentation in aerial imagery; provides explicit closed-form formulations for PP/R-SEM/UAM tightly coupled with DINOv3; and demonstrates \emph{consistent} gains on small and crowded targets and under cross-domain shifts while keeping deployment simple.
