Abstract

Complex video object segmentation requires robust target propagation under severe occlusion, disappearance and reappearance. Although SAM3 provides strong promptable mask propagation, a uniform inference path remains unreliable for tiny targets with insufficient visual evidence and semantic-dominated targets whose identities depend on explicit attributes. To this end, we present VOS-Agent, a collaborative framework that retains SAM3 as the shared dense segmentation module and conditionally activates specialized agents according to target characteristics. A Target Perception and Routing Agent assigns each sequence to a regular, tiny, or semantic-dominated route. Tiny targets are supported by a Visual Tracking Agent through confidence-aware box prompts, while semantic-dominated targets are handled by an MLLM-based Semantic Agent through description-guided localization and candidate verification. On the MOSEv2 test set, VOS-Agent achieves 69.82% on the official J&F˙\mathcal{J}\&\dot{\mathcal{F}} metric and ranks first in the MOSEv2 Track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge at ECCV 2026.

AgentRVOS for MeViS-Text Track of 5th PVUW Challenge: 3rd Method

This report describes a Ref-VOS pipeline centered on Sa2VA and organized with explicit agent roles. The key idea is that Sa2VA should provide the first dense semantic hypothesis, while an agent loop decides whether that hypothesis should be accepted, revised, or refined. The pipeline starts with a target-presence judgment stage. If the referred object does not exist in the video, the system directly outputs zero masks. Otherwise, Sa2VA receives the video and referring prompt and produces a coarse mask trajectory over the full video. This trajectory is treated as a semantic prior rather than a final answer. A planner agent decomposes the query, temporal partition agents identify informative blocks, scout agents search for anchor frames, and refinement agents convert reliable Sa2VA masks into boxes and points for SAM3 propagation. A critic scores candidate trajectories, a reflection controller repairs weak hypotheses, and a collaboration controller reconciles multiple agent branches. The result is a Ref-VOS system in which Sa2VA is responsible for dense grounded understanding, while the agent layer handles presence verification, temporal search, confidence-aware revision, and final mask refinement.

ReflexTrack: A Feedback-Driven Agent for Training-Free Referring Video Object Segmentation

Referring video object segmentation (RVOS) requires segmenting a target specified by natural language throughout a video. Recent agentic approaches combine multimodal large language models with promptable segmentation models to perform RVOS without task-specific training. However, most pipelines rely on one-shot spatial grounding followed by mask propagation, leaving both the initial prompts and temporal predictions largely unverified. We introduce ReflexTrack, a training-free, feedback-driven agent that closes this loop at both spatial and temporal levels. Mask-guided Spatial Refinement evaluates the mask induced by the current keyframe prompt and iteratively updates the bounding box together with positive and negative points, yielding a more reliable initialization. Video-level Mask Reflection assesses the complete mask sequence, localizes unreliable intervals, selects complementary repair keyframes, and generates candidate predictions through mask-guided re-propagation. Only candidates that provide a verified improvement are used to update the affected intervals, preserving reliable predictions elsewhere. All components remain frozen during inference. ReflexTrack achieves an overall Q\mathcal{Q} score of 69.769.7 on Ref-VPS and a J&F\mathcal{J}\&\mathcal{F} score of 67.267.2 on ReasonVOS. These results demonstrate that prediction-level feedback substantially improves the reliability of training-free RVOS.

Multi-Agent Target-Existence Verification and Learned Mask Geometry Refinement: Winning Report of the MeViS-Text Track at the 8th LSVOS Challenge 2026

We present the first-place solution to the MeViS-Text track of the 8th Large-scale Video Object Segmentation (LSVOS) Challenge 2026: referring video object segmentation guided by written motion expressions, including deceptive no-target expressions that match no object in the video and must yield empty masks in every frame. Our pipeline, SSUPER, resolves each expression into a visual concept, generates full-video candidate masklets with SAM~3.1, and selects target IDs. At every reasoning stage, three heterogeneous multimodal large language models independently execute the same stage-specific prompt before a single synthesis pass commits one schema-validated verdict. Although this system rejects every no-target expression in validation, the leaderboard reveals that a substantial share of test no-target cases still slips through. The reason is that hard negatives name a plausible object and fail only under the complete temporal predicate, so when selection and existence are decided together, a category-plausible masklet anchors the verdict. Hence, we decouple existence verification into an independent multi-agent audit of the full predicate (category, count, action, trajectory, event order, and semantic role) that distinguishes absence from temporary invisibility, discounts apparent motion caused by camera movement, and requires contradicting evidence rather than mere uncertainty for a no-target verdict. Without any new segmentation call, this audit recovers most of the residual no-target errors. A training-data-only StyleRefiner then aligns mask geometry with the annotation style of MeViSv2 while preserving every presence decision by construction, showing that once the semantics are fixed, part of the remaining error is stylistic rather than semantic. The complete system reaches a Final score of 0.9081339614 on the official challenge leaderboard.
