Abstract
This paper presents a two-stage approach, track and then segment, to perform semi-supervised video object segmentation (VOS) with only bounding box annotations. The proposed reverse optimization for VOS (ROVOS) which leverages a fully convolutional Siamese network performs tracking and segmentation in the tracker. The segmentation cues are able to reversely optimize the location of the tracker and the object segmentation masks are produced by the two-branch system online. The experimental results on DAVIS 2016 and DAVIS 2017 demonstrate significant improvements of the proposed algorithm over the state-of-the-art methods.
