Abstract
The MUMU track of the 8th Large-scale Video Object Segmentation (LSVOS) Challenge requires a single unified multimodal model to jointly solve image tagging (Task A), open-vocabulary object detection (Task B), and English captioning (Task C) under strict resource constraints (<=0.5B parameters and <=8 GB peak GPU memory). We present CapMap-MS-TTA, a training-free submission built on Microsoft Florence-2-base (~231M parameters), combining caption keyword mapping with multi-scale flip test-time augmentation. Task C uses the native <DETAILED_CAPTION> pathway with length/token sanitization. Task A maps the same detailed caption into the official quality/scene/event vocabularies via an expanded keyword lexicon with whole-word matching and a lightweight expand-hints stage. Task B runs Florence-2 open detection (<OD>) with multi-scale and horizontal-flip test-time augmentation (TTA), followed by label-aware non-maximum suppression (NMS). Without fine-tuning, the system improves our reproduced Florence-2 baseline from 15.16 to a best public score of 16.4815, and ranks 3rd on the final MUMU leaderboard.

The Mobile Unified Multimodal Understanding (MUMU) Challenge requires a single efficient model to jointly perform multi-concept image tagging, open-vocabulary object detection, and image captioning. We present Efficient Unified Multimodal Understanding (EUMU), the winning solution for the MUMU Track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge. EUMU builds on a shared pretrained multimodal model, using its prompt-based capabilities for detection and captioning and training lightweight heads on shared visual features to predict quality, scene, and event tags. Rather than treating the three tasks independently, EUMU applies task-aware inference refinement by reusing task outputs as cross-task cues. For detection, caption cues help recover objects missed by the initial detection. For captioning, detection cues help refine the caption to better reflect the detected objects. For tagging, image statistics refine quality predictions, while caption and detection cues refine scene and event predictions. This design unifies all three tasks within a single model while satisfying the challenge's resource constraints. EUMU contains 239.169M parameters, requires 23.947 GFLOPs, uses 4.5 GB of peak inference memory, and achieves a final challenge score of 17.3409. Code and models are available at https://github.com/Dayoung-Kil/EUMU.

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˙ metric and ranks first in the MOSEv2 Track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge at ECCV 2026.

Object-centric models inspired by DETR have become the dominant paradigm for open-vocabulary video instance segmentation (OV-VIS). While recent efforts have reduced the computational cost of pixel decoding, textual modality fusion, and object decoding to make these architectures more suitable for mobile devices, real-time on-device inference at high frame rates remains an open challenge. In this paper, we introduce SegFS, a dual-stream fast-slow framework that significantly improves efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. On sparse keyframes, an open-vocabulary object-based model predicts instance-level representations. These representations are then projected back into the backbone feature space to condition a lightweight fast network, which efficiently relocalizes and segments the instances in subsequent frames. By shifting instance propagation from object decoding to feature-space conditioning, our approach decouples multimodal semantic understanding from dense mask prediction and enables efficient temporal propagation. The proposed fast branch achieves up to 14x lower latency than the mobile-oriented MOBIUS model, while maintaining competitive segmentation performance on standard OV-VIS benchmarks.
