Comparative Performance on FMOX Datasets
This table summarizes the key strengths and overall performance metrics of each SAM2-based tracker on the challenging Fast Moving Object (FMOX) datasets. It highlights how different architectural choices impact accuracy and robustness in real-world scenarios.
| Tracker | Key Feature | Overall mIoU (Mean) | Overall mDice (Mean) | Performance on Challenging FMO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAM2 | Core SAM-based tracker, FIFO memory mechanism. | 0.461 | 0.545 | Moderate, vulnerable to distractors and motion blur. |
| EfficientTAM | Lightweight ViT encoder, consolidates memory tokens for efficiency. | 0.438 | 0.520 | Poorest overall, highly susceptible to prolonged tracking loss due to motion blur. Fastest computational speed. |
| DAM4SAM | Distractor-Aware Memory (RAM + DRM), robust to distractors and occlusions. | 0.505 | 0.600 | Consistently best, highly robust to fast-moving objects and complex scenes. |
| SAMURAI | Motion-Aware Instance-Level Memory, Kalman filter for fast motion and occlusions. | 0.488 | 0.579 | Strong performance, particularly effective with fast motions and crowded scenes. |
SAM2-based Tracking Pipeline Innovations
The core SAM2-based tracking pipeline involves initializing with a bounding box/mask, encoding image features, managing memory (often FIFO), generating candidate masks, selecting the best one based on IoU, and outputting the tracked object. EfficientTAM optimizes the 'Image Encoding' and 'Memory Management' steps for speed by using a lightweight encoder and consolidating memory tokens. DAM4SAM refines 'Memory Management' and 'Optimal Mask Selection' with its Distractor-Aware Memory. SAMURAI enhances 'Memory Management' and 'Optimal Mask Selection' using a Kalman filter and motion-aware memory to handle fast-moving and occluded objects more effectively.

Rigorous Evaluation Protocol
Our benchmarking adheres to a strict protocol to ensure reliable and unbiased results. The evaluation uses the FMOX dataset, comprising 46 distinct sequences designed for fast-moving objects. Trackers are initialized with the first ground-truth bounding box, and performance is measured using mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) and mean Dice scores. Crucially, we confirmed no data leakage occurred, ensuring the models were not trained on any part of the evaluation dataset.
