UVO (Unidentified Video Objects: A Benchmark for Dense, Open-World Segmentation)

Introduced by Weiyao Wang et al. in Unidentified Video Objects: A Benchmark for Dense, Open-World Segmentation archive 2025-07-28

UVO is a new benchmark for open-world class-agnostic object segmentation in videos. Besides shifting the problem focus to the open-world setup, UVO is significantly larger, providing approximately 8 times more videos compared with DAVIS, and 7 times more mask (instance) annotations per video compared with YouTube-VOS and YouTube-VIS. UVO is also more challenging as it includes many videos with crowded scenes and complex background motions. Some highlights of the dataset include:

  • High quality instance masks densely annotated at 30 fps on 1024 YouTube videos and 1fps on 10337 videos from Kinetics dataset

  • Open-world: annotating all objects in each video, 13.5 objects per video on average

  • Diverse object categories: 57% of objects are not covered by COCO categories

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 2 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

3 shown of 3 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 27. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
