38. S2D: Sparse-To-Dense Keymask Distillation for Unsupervised Video Instance Segmentation

🔑 Keywords: Unsupervised video instance segmentation, real video data, deep motion priors, keymasks, Sparse-To-Dense Distillation

💡 Category: Computer Vision

🌟 Research Objective:

– Propose an unsupervised video instance segmentation model trained exclusively on real video data to establish temporal coherence and improve motion modeling.

🛠️ Research Methods:

– Utilized unsupervised instance segmentation masks on video frames and leveraged keymasks with deep motion priors.

– Introduced a Sparse-To-Dense Distillation approach aided by Temporal DropLoss for mask propagation.

💬 Research Conclusions:

– The proposed model, trained on dense label sets derived from sparse pseudo-annotations, outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in video instance segmentation benchmarks.
