Announcement
[IMPORTANT] Team Information Requirement for Submission – Update from Previous Challenge
Starting from this year’s challenge, all submissions must include a valid team information file
(team.json) in the submission package. This will help us contact you more efficiently.
Submitting team information is mandatory. The details in team.json will
be treated
as your final team information. Please ensure the provided email address is valid and reachable,
as it will be our only means of contact. Submissions with missing, false, or empty team information,
or with invalid/unreachable emails, may be considered invalid.
To avoid duplicate accounts, each research center / institute / lab may only register one team. If colleagues from the same affiliation are also participating, please merge into a single team before submission. If we detect multiple teams from the same affiliation, we reserve the right to disqualify all related teams.
Example team.json (place in the root submission folder, at the same level as the video folders):
{
"By submitting the test results, I agree with the challenge terms and policies.": true,
"team_name": "Put_your_team_name_here",
"members": [
{"name": "Member A", "affiliation": "University A"},
{"name": "Member B", "affiliation": "Company A"},
{"name": "Member C", "affiliation": "Institute A"}
],
"email": "your_email@example.edu"

Introduction
The 7th LSVOS challenge will be held in conjunction with ICCV 2025 in Honolulu, Hawai'i. This year, we will continue the same setup as last year and still have two tracks: VOS and RVOS. In the Video Object Segmentation (VOS) track, we will utilize LVOS and MOSE. to study the VOS under more challenging complex environments. LVOS is designed for long-term videos, dealing with complex object motion and long-term reappearance, while MOSE focuses on complex scenes, covering aspects such as object disappearance and reappearance, inconspicuous small objects, heavy occlusions, and crowded environments. For the Referring Video Object Segmentation (RVOS) track, we will continue to use MeViS. MeViS focuses on the identification of the target object in a video based on motion-related descriptions rather than static attributes. This innovative approach subverts the foundational design principles of existing RVOS methods, compelling researchers to engage in a more in - depth exploration and reevaluation of motion modeling. In addition, we will hold a series of talks by the leading experts in video understating and embodied intelligence. In this year, the following topics will be covered:
- Semantic/panoptic segmentation for images/videos
- Video Object Segmentation in Complex Scenes
- Long-term Video Object Segmentation
- Referring Video Object Segmentation
- Video Segmentation with Motion Expressions
- Vision and Language
- Cognitive Models of Object Perception
- Real-world Understanding and embodied intelligence

Call for Paper
[Update] LSVOS 2025 will be using [OpenReview] to manage submissions. We are looking forward to your work and engaging discussions at the workshop! Please check the Paper Submission Timeline section for submission open and deadline dates.
We invite authors to submit unpublished papers (8-page ICCV format) to our workshop, to be presented at a poster session upon acceptance. All submissions will go through a double-blind review process. All contributions must be submitted (along with supplementary materials, if any) through the paper submission portal.
Accepted papers will be published in the official ICCV Workshops proceedings and the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) Open Access archive.

Challenge Tracks & Submission
The 7th LSVOS challenge includes three tracks: Complex VOS (MOSEv2, new!), Classic VOS and RVOS.
Below are the links and task descriptions for the three tracks:
[NEW🔥] Track 1: Complex Video Object Segmentation (MOSEv2)
MOSEv2 focuses on VOS in complex scenes with frequent object disappearance and reappearance, severe occlusions, smaller targets, and new challenges including adverse weather, low light, multi-shot sequences, camouflage, non-physical targets, and knowledge-dependent scenarios. Valid stage submission server: [click here] / Test stage submission server (on live now!) [click here]
Track 2: Video Object Segmentation (Classic VOS)
The video object segmentation task aims to segmenting a particular object instance throughout the entire video sequence given only the object mask of the first frame. The dataset is a mixture of MOSEv1 and LVOS datasets. Submission server [click here]
Track 3: Referring Video Object Segmentation (RVOS)
Referring video object segmentation aims to segment an object in video with language expressions. Submission server [click here]
