  • 将语言匹配转为是/否验证,直接调用大模型做决策
  • 在Refer-KITTI上达到新高,小模型也表现优异
  • 适合追求高效精准的视觉语言追踪应用

指称式多目标追踪(RMOT)旨在追踪视频中所有符合给定语言描述的实例。尽管近期融合了多模态大语言模型(MLLM)以提升泛化能力,现有方法仍主要将其作为文本生成器,需额外模块完成最终判断。该范式不仅增加延迟,更严重低估了MLLM内在的视觉-语言对齐能力。为此,我们提出YesTrack,一种两阶段新型RMOT方法,将指称任务重构为判别性问题,直接利用MLLM进行是/否验证,无需显式文本生成。为进一步提升验证的可靠性与效率,引入两个轻量级时序一致性约束:时序置信度先验(TCP)与时序引用传播(TRP)。我们还通过提出YesTrack-MOT,验证该判别范式的通用性,其为通用多目标追踪(MOT)提供了简单但高效的实例。在Refer-KITTI和Refer-KITTI-V2上的实验表明,YesTrack显著超越现有最先进方法,且保持高效率,即使使用最小的Qwen3-VL变体亦然。代码已开源:https://github.com/ggbondrighthere24/YesTrack。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Referring multi-object tracking (RMOT) aims to track every instance in a video that matches a given language expression. Despite the recent integration of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to enhance generalization, existing methods predominantly relegate them to the role of caption generators, necessitating external modules for final decision-making. This paradigm not only introduces extra latency but also severely underutilizes the inherent vision-language alignment capabilities of MLLMs. To address these limitations, we propose YesTrack, a novel two-stage RMOT method that reformulates referring as a discriminative task, directly leveraging MLLMs for Yes/No verification without explicit text generation. To further enhance the reliability and efficiency of this MLLM-based verification, we introduce two lightweight temporal consistency constraints: Temporal Confidence Prior (TCP) and Temporal Reference Propagation (TRP). We further validate the generality of this discriminative paradigm by proposing YesTrack-MOT, a straightforward yet highly effective instantiation for generic multi-object tracking (MOT). Experiments on Refer-KITTI and Refer-KITTI-V2 show that YesTrack significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods while maintaining high efficiency, even when implemented with the smallest variant of Qwen3-VL. Code is released at https://github.com/ggbondrighthere24/YesTrack.
