Abstract


In this paper, we propose a novel framework to generate high-quality segmentation results in a two-stage style, aiming at video instance segmentation task which requires simultaneous detection, segmentation and tracking of instances. To address this multi-task efficiently, we opt to first select high-quality detection proposals in each frame. The categories of the proposals are calibrated with the global context of video. Then, each selected proposal is extended temporally by a bi-directional Instance-Pixel Dual-Tracker (IPDT) which synchronizes the tracking on both instance-level and pixel-level. The instance-level module concentrates on distinguishing the target instance from other objects while the pixel-level module focuses more on the local feature of the instance. Our proposed method achieved a competitive result of mAP 45.0% on the Youtube-VOS dataset, ranking the 3rd in Track 2 of the 2nd Large-scale Video Object Segmentation Challenge.
