The Second Visual Object Tracking Segmentation VOTS2024 Challenge Results

The Visual Object Tracking Segmentation VOTS2024 challenge is the twelfth annual tracker benchmarking activity of the VOT initiative. This challenge consolidates the new tracking setup proposed in VOTS2023, which merges short-term and long-term as well as single-target and multiple-target tracking with segmentation masks as the only target location specification. Two sub-challenges are considered. The VOTS2024 standard challenge, focusing on classical objects and the VOTSt2024, which considers objects undergoing a topological transformation. Both challenges use the same performance evaluation methodology. Results of 28 submissions are presented and analyzed. A leaderboard, with participating trackers details, the source code, the datasets, and the evaluation kit are publicly available on the website https://www.votchallenge.net/vots2024/.
