VOTS2024 Challenge

Visual Object Tracking and Segmentation challenge VOTS2024 is a continuation of the VOTS2023 challenge, which no longer distincts between single- and multi-target tracking nor between short- and long-term tracking. It requires tracking one or more targets simultaneously by segmentation over long or short sequences, while the targets may disappear during tracking and reappear later in the video.

Two challenges are organized:

• VOTS2024 challenge - Continuation of the VOTS2023 challenge. The task is to track one or more general targets over short-term or long-term sequences by segmentation.
• VOTSt2024 challenge - A new sub-challenge this year considers general objects undergoing a topological transformation, such as vegetables cut into pieces, machines disassembled, etc.

The VOTS2024 Benchmarks are continually open for post-challenge evaluation, see the Leaderboards for up-to-date results of the respective tracking challenges. Please follow instructions to submit your results.
