CAMotion

A High-Quality Dataset for Camouflaged Motion Object Detection in the Wild

CAMotion is a dataset and benchmark for realistic camouflaged motion object detection in unconstrained, in-the-wild scenarios. It aims to support robust evaluation and reproducible research for motion camouflage understanding.

Overview

What is CAMotion?

CAMotion provides curated in-the-wild videos with camouflaged moving objects and pixel-level annotations. The benchmark focuses on motion camouflage challenges such as low contrast, background blending, complex motion, and occlusions.

Task

Given a video, predict a binary mask per frame for the camouflaged moving object(s). The dataset supports training and evaluation for video camouflage understanding and segmentation-style pipelines.

Highlights
  • Realistic in-the-wild motion camouflage scenarios
  • Frame-level pixel annotations for moving camouflaged objects
  • Standard splits and baseline results for reproducibility
