| description | Accurate video object segmentation methods finetune a model using the first annotated frame, and/or use additional
inputs such as optical flow and complex post-processing. In contrast, we develop a fast algorithm that requires no finetuning, auxiliary inputs or post-processing, and segments a variable number of objects in a single forward-pass. We
represent an object with clusters, or “visual words”, in the embedding space, which correspond to object parts in the image space. This allows us to robustly match to the reference objects throughout the video, because although the
global appearance of an object changes as it undergoes occlusions and deformations, the appearance of more local parts may stay consistent. We learn these visual words in an unsupervised manner, using meta-learning to ensure that
our training objective matches our inference procedure. We achieve comparable accuracy to finetuning based methods,
and state-of-the-art in terms of speed/accuracy trade-offs on four video segmentation datasets. |
