# Long-RVOS: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Long-term Referring Video Object Segmentation

- **GitHub Repository**: [https://github.com/iSEE-Laboratory/Long_RVOS](https://github.com/iSEE-Laboratory/Long_RVOS)
- **Project Page**: [https://isee-laboratory.github.io/Long-RVOS/](https://isee-laboratory.github.io/Long-RVOS/)
- **Paper**: [arXiv:2505.12702](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.12702)

## Dataset Description

### Dataset Summary

**Long-RVOS** is the first large-scale **long-term** referring video object segmentation benchmark, containing 2,000+ videos with an average duration exceeding **60 seconds**. The dataset addresses the challenge of segmenting and tracking objects in long-form videos based on natural language descriptions, advancing the task towards more practical and realistic scenarios.

### Dataset Statistics

- **Total videos**: 2,193
- **Average video duration**: 60.3 seconds
- **Average frames per video**: 361.7
- **Object categories**: 163
- **Splits**: Train, Validation, and Test sets

## Dataset Structure

### Data Organization

The dataset is organized as follows:

```
data/
└── long_rvos/
    β”œβ”€β”€ train/
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ JPEGImages/
    β”‚   β”‚   └── {video_id}/
    β”‚   β”‚       └── {frame_name}.jpg
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Annotations/
    β”‚   β”‚   └── {video_id}/
    β”‚   β”‚       └── {object_id}/
    β”‚   β”‚           └── {frame_name}.png
    β”‚   └── meta_expressions.json
    β”œβ”€β”€ valid/
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ JPEGImages/
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Annotations/
    β”‚   └── meta_expressions.json
    └── test/
        β”œβ”€β”€ JPEGImages/
        β”œβ”€β”€ Annotations/
        └── meta_expressions.json
```

### Data Format

- **JPEGImages**: Video frames extracted and stored as JPEG images
- **Annotations**: Binary mask annotations (PNG format) for each object instance in each visible frame
- **meta_expressions.json**: JSON file containing referring expressions and metadata

### Annotation Format

The `meta_expressions.json` file contains:

```json
{
  "videos": {
    "{video_id}": {
      "frames": ["00000", "00001", ...],
      "expressions": {
        "{expression_id}": {
          "exp": "referring expression text",
          "obj_id": object_id,
          "exp_type": "static|dynamic|hybrid"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
