News

Highlight

  • UNINEXT is accepted by CVPR2023.
  • UNINEXT reformulates diverse instance perception tasks into a unified object discovery and retrieval paradigm and can flexibly perceive different types of objects by simply changing the input prompts.
  • UNINEXT achieves superior performance on 20 challenging benchmarks using a single model with the same model parameters.

Introduction

TASK-RADAR

Object-centric understanding is one of the most essential and challenging problems in computer vision. In this work, we mainly discuss 10 sub-tasks, distributed on the vertices of the cube shown in the above figure. Since all these tasks aim to perceive instances of certain properties, UNINEXT reorganizes them into three types according to the different input prompts:

  • Category Names
    • Object Detection
    • Instance Segmentation
    • Multiple Object Tracking (MOT)
    • Multi-Object Tracking and Segmentation (MOTS)
    • Video Instance Segmentation (VIS)
  • Language Expressions
    • Referring Expression Comprehension (REC)
    • Referring Expression Segmentation (RES)
    • Referring Video Object Segmentation (R-VOS)
  • Target Annotations
    • Single Object Tracking (SOT)
    • Video Object Segmentation (VOS)

Then we propose a unified prompt-guided object discovery and retrieval formulation to solve all the above tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UNINEXT achieves superior performance on 20 challenging benchmarks.

Demo

UNINEXT_DEMO_VID_9M.mp4

UNINEXT can flexibly perceive various types of objects by simply changing the input prompts, such as category names, language expressions, and target annotations. We also provide a simple demo script, which supports 4 image-level tasks (object detection, instance segmentation, REC, RES).
