Abstract
Depth information opens up new opportunities for video object segmentation (VOS) to be more accurate and robust in complex scenes. However, the RGBD VOS task is largely unexplored due to the expensive collection of RGBD data and time-consuming annotation of segmentation. In this work, we first introduce a new benchmark for RGBD VOS, named DepthVOS, which contains 350 videos (over 55k frames in total) annotated with masks and bounding boxes. We futher propose a novel, strong baseline model - Fused Color-Depth Network (FusedCDNet), which can be trained solely under the supervision of bounding boxes, while being used to generate masks with a bounding box guideline only in the first frame. Thereby, the model possesses three major advantages: a weakly-supervised training strategy to overcome the high-cost annotation, a cross-modal fusion module to handle complex scenes, and weakly-supervised inference to promote ease of use. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method performs on par with top fully-supervised algorithms. We will open-source our project on https://github.com/yjybuaa/depthvos/ to facilitate the development of RGBD VOS.
