Limitations 3 Approach Given a video, our goal is to jointly detect, segment and caption object instances present in the video. Importantly, note that object instance categories may not be part of the training set (e.g., the parachutes shown in Fig. 3 (top row)), placing our goal in an open-world setting. To achieve this goal, a given video is first broken into short clips, each consisting of T frames. Each clip is processed using our approach OW-VISCap. We discuss merging of the results of each clip in Sec. 4. We provide an overview of OW-VISCap to process each clip in Sec. 3.1. We then discuss our contributions: (a) introduction of open-world object queries in Sec. 3.2, (b) use of masked attention for object-centric captioning in Sec. 3.3, and (c) use of inter-query contrastive loss to ensure that the object qeries are different from each other in Sec. 3.4. In Sec. 3.5, we discuss the final training objective. 3.1 Overview Both open- and closed-world object queries are processed by our specifically designed captioning head which yields an object-centric caption, a classification head which yields a category label, and a detection head which yields either a segmentation mask or a bounding-box. We introduce an inter-query contrastive loss to ensure that the object queries are encouraged to differ from each other. We provide details in Sec. 3.4. For closed world objects, this loss helps in removing highly overlapping false positives. For open-world objects, it helps in the discovery of new objects. Finally, we provide the full training objective in Sec. 3.5. 3.2 Open-World Object Queries We first match the ground truth objects with the open-world predictions by minimizing a matching cost using the Hungarian algorithm [34]. The optimal matching is then used to calculate the final open-world loss. 3.3 Captioning Head 3.4 Inter-Query Contrastive Loss 3.5 Training Our total training loss is Authors:
