Report of the 5th PVUW Challenge: Towards More Diverse Modalities in Pixel-Level Understanding

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.

E2EC: An End-to-End Contour-based Method for High-Quality High-Speed Instance Segmentation

Contour-based instance segmentation methods have developed rapidly recently but feature rough and hand-crafted front-end contour initialization, which restricts the model performance, and an empirical and fixed backend predicted-label vertex pairing, which contributes to the learning difficulty. In this paper, we introduce a novel contour-based method, named E2EC, for high-quality instance segmentation. Firstly, E2EC applies a novel learnable contour initialization architecture instead of hand-crafted contour initialization. This consists of a contour initialization module for constructing more explicit learning goals and a global contour deformation module for taking advantage of all of the vertices' features better. Secondly, we propose a novel label sampling scheme, named multi-direction alignment, to reduce the learning difficulty. Thirdly, to improve the quality of the boundary details, we dynamically match the most appropriate predicted-ground truth vertex pairs and propose the corresponding loss function named dynamic matching loss. The experiments showed that E2EC can achieve a state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI INStance (KINS) dataset, the Semantic Boundaries Dataset (SBD), the Cityscapes and the COCO dataset. E2EC is also efficient for use in real-time applications, with an inference speed of 36 fps for 512*512 images on an NVIDIA A6000 GPU. Code will be released at https://github.com/zhang-tao-whu/e2ec.

A Novel Recurrent Encoder-Decoder Structure for Large-Scale Multi-view Stereo Reconstruction from An Open Aerial Dataset

A great deal of research has demonstrated recently that multi-view stereo (MVS) matching can be solved with deep learning methods. However, these efforts were focused on close-range objects and only a very few of the deep learning-based methods were specifically designed for large-scale 3D urban reconstruction due to the lack of multi-view aerial image benchmarks. In this paper, we present a synthetic aerial dataset, called the WHU dataset, we created for MVS tasks, which, to our knowledge, is the first large-scale multi-view aerial dataset. It was generated from a highly accurate 3D digital surface model produced from thousands of real aerial images with precise camera parameters. We also introduce in this paper a novel network, called RED-Net, for wide-range depth inference, which we developed from a recurrent encoder-decoder structure to regularize cost maps across depths and a 2D fully convolutional network as framework. RED-Net's low memory requirements and high performance make it suitable for large-scale and highly accurate 3D Earth surface reconstruction. Our experiments confirmed that not only did our method exceed the current state-of-the-art MVS methods by more than 50% mean absolute error (MAE) with less memory and computational cost, but its efficiency as well. It outperformed one of the best commercial software programs based on conventional methods, improving their efficiency 16 times over. Moreover, we proved that our RED-Net model pre-trained on the synthetic WHU dataset can be efficiently transferred to very different multi-view aerial image datasets without any fine-tuning.
