Title: CaptionFormer: Unified Segmentation, Tracking, and Captioning for Spatio-Temporal Objects

Abstract:
arXiv:2510.14904v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dense Video Object Captioning (DVOC) is the task of jointly detecting, tracking, and captioning object trajectories in a video, requiring the ability to understand spatio-temporal details and describe them in natural language. Due to the complexity of the task and the high cost associated with manual annotation, previous approaches resort to training strategies with limited data, potentially leading to suboptimal performance.
