Semi-supervised video object segmentation is a task of propagating instance masks given in the first frame to the entire video. It is a challenging task since it usually suffers from heavy occlusions, large deformation, and large variations of objects. To alleviate these problems, many existing works apply time-consuming techniques such as fine-tuning, post-processing, or extracting optical flow, which makes them intractable for online segmentation. In our work, we focus on online semi-supervised video object segmentation. We propose a GCSeg (Guided Co-Segmentation) Network which is mainly composed of a Reference Module and a Co-segmentation Module, to simultaneously incorporate the short-term, middle-term, and long-term temporal inter-frame relationships. Moreover, we propose an Adaptive Search Strategy to reduce the risk of propagating inaccurate segmentation results in subsequent frames. Our GCSeg network achieves state-of-the-art performance on online semi-supervised video object segmentation on Davis 2016 and Davis 2017 datasets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
