## Abstract

The area of Video Camouflaged Object Detection (VCOD) presents unique challenges in the field of computer vision due to texture similarities between target objects and their surroundings, as well as irregular motion patterns caused by both objects and camera movement. In this paper, we introduce TokenMotion (TMNet), which employs a transformer-based model to enhance VCOD by extracting motion-guided features using a learnable token selection. Evaluated on the challenging MoCA-Mask dataset, TMNet achieves state-of-the-art performance in VCOD. It outperforms the existing state-of-the-art method by a 12.8% improvement in weighted F-measure, an 8.4% enhancement in S-measure, and a 10.7% boost in mean IoU. The results demonstrate the benefits of utilizing motion-guided features via learnable token selection within a transformer-based framework to tackle the intricate task of VCOD.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
