MLLM-Assisted Audio VOS: A 3rd Place Report for the MeViS-Audio Track, 8th LSVOS Challenge

arXiv:2608.23234v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this technical report, we present a training-free framework for audio-guided video object segmentation, which integrates Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) with SAM-based segmentation models. We decompose the task into several stages and identify suitable foundation models for each stage. Without introducing additional model training or task-specific fine-tuning, our approach leverages the strong multimodal reasoning capabilities of MLLMs to model text-visual correspondence and employs SAM-based models for accurate object mask generation. The proposed framework demonstrates the effectiveness of leveraging foundation models for audio-guided video segmentation and achieves competitive performance in the MeViS-Audio Track of the 8th LSVOS Challenge.
