Evaluation of referring video object segmentation performance on the 'val-u' subset of the MeViS dataset, reporting metrics such as J&F, F1, and HOTA.

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.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Referring Video Object Segmentation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MeViS (val-u) |
| Metric | J&F Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 17 of 17 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [J&F Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/referring-video-object-segmentation-on-mevis-val-u.md?metric=J%26F%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [F1 Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/referring-video-object-segmentation-on-mevis-val-u.md?metric=F1%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [HOTA](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/referring-video-object-segmentation-on-mevis-val-u.md?metric=HOTA>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
