Abstract

We present our solution for the MOSEv2 track of the 8th Large-scale Video Object Segmentation (LSVOS) Challenge at ECCV 2026. The challenge evaluates robust video object segmentation under complex temporal dynamics, including long-term occlusion, disappearance and reappearance, large appearance changes, and strong interference from visually similar objects. Our method builds on SAM~3 and focuses on its memory readout. Standard target-only memory retrieval can confuse the annotated target with same-class non-target objects because such distractors are represented only implicitly as background. Our method introduces Competitive Memory Readout, which explicitly incorporates same-class competitor evidence when retrieving target information from memory. To prevent excessive suppression of weak or reappearing targets, we further apply a lightweight adaptive restoration rule after competition. The resulting system retains the original SAM~3 tracking pipeline while improving target identity preservation in challenging videos. Our submission achieves 66.20 on the primary challenge score and ranks 2nd in the MOSEv2 track.
