Computer Vision

Video salient object detection (VSOD) is significantly essential for understanding the underlying mechanism behind HVS during free-viewing in general and instrumental to a wide range of real-world applications, e.g., video segmentation, video captioning, video compression, autonomous driving, robotic interaction, weakly supervised attention. Besides its academic value and practical significance, VSOD presents great difficulties due to the challenges carried by video data (diverse motion patterns, occlusions, blur, large object deformations, etc.) and the inherent complexity of human visual attention behavior (i.e., selective attention allocation, attention shift) during dynamic scenes.

Description from the archive archive 2025-07-28.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

10 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 10 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

Libraries

Not in the archive: the export carries no per-task library table, so there is nothing to show at snapshot 2025-07-28.

Datasets archive 2025-07-28

4 datasets whose archive record lists this task, ordered by the archive's paper count.

Most implemented papers archive 2025-07-28

20 shown of 20 papers with code (48 tagged with this task in all), ordered by repositories listed in the archive, not by stars (the archive holds no stars, so PwC's “Social” and “Latest” sorts cannot be reproduced). Papers without a page here are shown as plain text.

Syntology lines on 2 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
