Abstract
Example solutions for video object segmentation (VOS) use a bilateral attention transformer in motion-appearance neighboring space, and perform a process that includes: receiving a video stream comprising a plurality of video frames in a sequence; receiving a first object mask for an initial video frame of the plurality of video frames; selecting a video frame of the plurality of video frames as a current query frame, the current query frame following, in the sequence, a reference frame of a reference frame set, wherein each reference frame has a corresponding object mask; using the current query frame and a video frame in the reference frame set, determining a bilateral attention; and using the bilateral attention, generating an object mask for the current query frame.
