Temporal-logic video question answering requires a model to reason about when actions occur relative to one another, such as before, after, until, since, overlap, and multi-event chains, rather than merely what is present in a video. Standard vision-language models typically answer such questions in a single pass over a fixed, uniformly sampled set of frames, which is poorly matched to evidence that is often localized to narrow action boundaries or dispersed across several distant events. We present an evidence-seeking agent that treats temporal-logic VideoQA as active exploration. The agent follows a Think-Act-Observe loop driven by a multi-granular sampling toolkit, where every observation is interleaved with its absolute timestamp so that temporal relations reduce to numerical comparisons on a shared time axis. Its behavior is shaped by benchmark structure: a lightweight classifier routes each question to a temporal category, each with a tailored policy, iteration depth, and prompt, while sampling budgets adapt to corpus characteristics and clip length. The resulting training-free system couples Gemini 3.1 Pro with a temporal-reasoning policy and achieves 77.13 AvgAcc on the official TimeLogic test set.

This report presents our winning solution to the 5th PVUW MeViS-Text Challenge. The track studies referring video object segmentation under motion-centric language expressions, where the model must jointly understand appearance, temporal behavior, and object interactions. To address this problem, we build a fully training-free pipeline that combines strong multimodal large language models with SAM3. Our method contains three stages. First, Gemini-3.1 Pro decomposes each target event into instance-level grounding targets, selects the frame where the target is most clearly visible, and generates a discriminative description. Second, SAM3-agent produces a precise seed mask on the selected frame, and the official SAM3 tracker propagates the mask through the whole video. Third, a refinement stage uses Qwen3.5-Plus and behavior-level verification to correct ambiguous or semantically inconsistent predictions. Without task-specific fine-tuning, our method ranks first on the PVUW 2026 MeViS-Text test set, achieving a Final score of 0.909064 and a J&F score of 0.7897. The code is available at https://github.com/Moujuruo/MeViSv2_Track_Solution_2026.

In the Complex Video Object Segmentation task, researchers are required to track and segment specific targets within cluttered environments, which rigorously tests a method's capability for target comprehension and environmental adaptability. Although SAM3, the current state-of-the-art solution, exhibits unparalleled segmentation performance and robustness on conventional targets, it underperforms on tiny and semantic-dominated objects. The root cause of this limitation lies in SAM3's insufficient comprehension of these specific target types. To address this issue, we propose TEP: Advancing Complex Video Object Segmentation via Tracking-Enhanced Prompts. As a training-free approach, TEP leverages external tracking models and Multimodal Large Language Models to introduce tracking-enhanced prompts, thereby alleviating the difficulty SAM3 faces in understanding these challenging targets. Our method achieved first place (56.91%) on the test set of the PVUW Challenge 2026: Complex Video Object Segmentation Track.

This report summarizes the objectives, datasets, and top-performing methodologies of the 2026 Pixel-level Video Understanding in the Wild (PVUW) Challenge, hosted at CVPR 2026, which evaluates state-of-the-art models under highly unconstrained conditions. To provide a comprehensive assessment, the 2026 edition features three specialized tracks: the MOSE track for tracking objects within densely cluttered and severely occluded scenarios; the MeViS-Text track for localizing targets via motion-focused linguistic expressions; and the newly inaugurated MeViS-Audio track, which pioneers acoustic-driven object segmentation. By introducing previously unreleased challenging data and analyzing the cutting-edge, multimodal solutions submitted by participants, this report highlights the community's latest technical advancements and charts promising future directions for robust video scene comprehension.
