PVUW 2025 Challenge Report: Advances in Pixel-level Understanding of Complex Videos in the Wild

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the 4th Pixel-level Video Understanding in the Wild (PVUW) Challenge, held in conjunction with CVPR 2025. It summarizes the challenge outcomes, participating methodologies, and future research directions. The challenge features two tracks: MOSE, which focuses on complex scene video object segmentation, and MeViS, which targets motion-guided, language-based video segmentation. Both tracks introduce new, more challenging datasets designed to better reflect real-world scenarios. Through detailed evaluation and analysis, the challenge offers valuable insights into the current state-of-the-art and emerging trends in complex video segmentation.

STSeg-Complex Video Object Segmentation: The 1st Solution for 4th PVUW MOSE Challenge

Segmentation of video objects in complex scenarios is highly challenging, and the MOSE dataset has significantly contributed to the development of this field. This technical report details the STSeg solution proposed by the "imaplus" team.By finetuning SAM2 and the unsupervised model TMO on the MOSE dataset, the STSeg solution demonstrates remarkable advantages in handling complex object motions and long-video sequences. In the inference phase, an Adaptive Pseudo-labels Guided Model Refinement Pipeline is adopted to intelligently select appropriate models for processing each video. Through finetuning the models and employing the Adaptive Pseudo-labels Guided Model Refinement Pipeline in the inference phase, the STSeg solution achieved a J&F score of 87.26% on the test set of the 2025 4th PVUW Challenge MOSE Track, securing the 1st place and advancing the technology for video object segmentation in complex scenarios.
