Enhancing Boundary Segmentation for Topological Accuracy with Skeleton-based Methods

Chuni Liu, Boyuan Ma, Xiaojuan Ban et al.

Topological consistency plays a crucial role in the task of boundary segmentation for reticular images, such as cell membrane segmentation in neuron electron microscopic images, grain boundary segmentation in material microscopic images and road segmentation in aerial images. In these fields, topological changes in segmentation results have a serious impact on the downstream tasks, which can even exceed the misalignment of the boundary itself. To enhance the topology accuracy in segmentation results, we propose the Skea-Topo Aware loss, which is a novel loss function that takes into account the shape of each object and topological significance of the pixels. It consists of two components. First, a skeleton-aware weighted loss improves the segmentation accuracy by better modeling the object geometry with skeletons. Second, a boundary rectified term effectively identifies and emphasizes topological critical pixels in the prediction errors using both foreground and background skeletons in the ground truth and predictions. Experiments prove that our method improves topological consistency by up to 7 points in VI compared to 13 state-of-art methods, based on objective and subjective assessments across three different boundary segmentation datasets. The code is available at https://github.com/clovermini/Skea_topo.

VeloEdit: Training-Free Consistent and Continuous Instruction-Based Image Editing via Velocity Field Decomposition

Zongqing Li, Zhihui Liu, Yujie Xie et al.

Instruction-based image editing aims to modify source content according to textual instructions. However, existing methods built upon flow matching often struggle to maintain consistency in non-edited regions due to denoising-induced reconstruction errors that cause drift in preserved content. Moreover, they typically lack fine-grained control over edit strength. To address these limitations, we propose VeloEdit, a training-free method that enables highly consistent and continuously controllable editing. VeloEdit dynamically identifies editing regions by quantifying the discrepancy between the velocity fields responsible for preserving source content and those driving the desired edits. Based on this partition, we enforce consistency in preservation regions by substituting the editing velocity with the source-restoring velocity, while enabling continuous modulation of edit intensity in target regions via velocity interpolation. Unlike prior works that rely on complex attention manipulation or auxiliary trainable modules, VeloEdit operates directly on the velocity fields. Extensive experiments on Flux.1 Kontext and Qwen-Image-Edit demonstrate that VeloEdit improves visual consistency and editing continuity with negligible additional computational cost.

LSVOS 2025 Challenge Report: Recent Advances in Complex Video Object Segmentation

Chang Liu, Henghui Ding, Kaining Ying et al.

This report presents an overview of the 7th Large-scale Video Object Segmentation (LSVOS) Challenge held in conjunction with ICCV 2025. Besides the two traditional tracks of LSVOS that jointly target robustness in realistic video scenarios: Classic VOS (VOS), and Referring VOS (RVOS), the 2025 edition features a newly introduced track, Complex VOS (MOSEv2). Building upon prior insights, MOSEv2 substantially increases difficulty, introducing more challenging but realistic scenarios including denser small objects, frequent disappear/reappear events, severe occlusions, adverse weather and lighting, etc., pushing long-term consistency and generalization beyond curated benchmarks. The challenge retains standard ${J}$, $F$, and ${J\&F}$ metrics for VOS and RVOS, while MOSEv2 adopts ${J\&\dot{F}}$ as the primary ranking metric to better evaluate objects across scales and disappearance cases. We summarize datasets and protocols, highlight top-performing solutions, and distill emerging trends, such as the growing role of LLM/MLLM components and memory-aware propagation, aiming to chart future directions for resilient, language-aware video segmentation in the wild.

SAMSON: 3rd Place Solution of LSVOS 2025 VOS Challenge

Yujie Xie, Hongyang Zhang, Zhihui Liu et al.

Large-scale Video Object Segmentation (LSVOS) addresses the challenge of accurately tracking and segmenting objects in long video sequences, where difficulties stem from object reappearance, small-scale targets, heavy occlusions, and crowded scenes. Existing approaches predominantly adopt SAM2-based frameworks with various memory mechanisms for complex video mask generation. In this report, we proposed Segment Anything with Memory Strengthened Object Navigation (SAMSON), the 3rd place solution in the MOSE track of ICCV 2025, which integrates the strengths of stateof-the-art VOS models into an effective paradigm. To handle visually similar instances and long-term object disappearance in MOSE, we incorporate a long-term memorymodule for reliable object re-identification. Additionly, we adopt SAM2Long as a post-processing strategy to reduce error accumulation and enhance segmentation stability in long video sequences. Our method achieved a final performance of 0.8427 in terms of J &F in the test-set leaderboard.
