Report of the 8th LSVOS Challenge: Complex and Multimodal Video Object Segmentation

This report summarizes the 8th Large-scale Video Object Segmentation (LSVOS) Challenge, held in conjunction with ECCV 2026. The challenge evaluates video segmentation in three complementary settings: complex semi-supervised video object segmentation on MOSEv2, text-guided referring video object segmentation on MeViSv2-Text, and audio-guided referring video object segmentation on MeViSv2-Audio. We describe the tasks and evaluation protocols and review the methods of the top three teams in each track. Across the nine leading solutions, foundation segmentation models are combined with target-aware memory, multimodal reasoning, explicit target-existence verification, agentic interaction, and corrective tracking. These systems illustrate a broader transition from single-model mask propagation toward modular pipelines that reason about object identity, query validity, and temporal reliability.

Motion-Aware Reasoning from Speech to Mask Tracks: Runner-up Solution for the MeViS-Audio Track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge 2026

Speech-guided referring video object segmentation aims to recover the mask tracks of objects specified by a spoken motion description. Here, speech carries a linguistic instruction rather than acoustic evidence from a sounding object, so a solution must connect speech recognition, motion-centric temporal grounding, mask tracking, and explicit no-target handling. We introduce Speech2MaskTrack, our approach for the MeViS-Audio track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge. Speech2MaskTrack transcribes the spoken query and compiles it into structured constraints over category, count, direction, interaction role, and temporal phase. SAM3.1 enumerates multiple instance tracks, which TRACE ranks using complete-trajectory motion and relation evidence. A frozen lexical presence gate may suppress the ranked SAM3.1 base prediction. When the gate predicts that a target is present, an available full-expression-conditioned SaSaSa2VA track replaces the SAM3.1 mask. Only outputs that remain empty enter GPT-assisted recovery, which invokes SaSaSa2VA again under query- and mask-level verification. Speech2MaskTrack achieved second place in the official challenge ranking.
