Tracking any given object s spatially and temporally is a common purpose in Visual Object Tracking VOT and Video Object Segmentation VOS Joint tracking and segmentation have been attempted in some studies but they often lack full compatibility of both box and mask in initialization and prediction and mainly focus on single object scenarios To address these limitations this paper proposes a Multi object Mask box Integrated framework for unified Tracking and Segmentation dubbed MITS Firstly the unified identification module is proposed to support both box and mask reference for initialization where detailed object information is inferred from boxes or directly retained from masks Additionally a novel pinpoint box predictor is proposed for accurate multi object box prediction facilitating target oriented representation learning All target objects are processed simultaneously from encoding to propagation and decoding as a unified pipeline for VOT and VOS Experimental results show MITS achieves state of the art performance on both VOT and VOS benchmarks Notably MITS surpasses the best prior VOT competitor by around 6 on the GOT 10k test set and significantly improves the performance of box initialization on VOS benchmarks The code is available at https github com yoxu515 MITS
