The VOTS2025 is the third edition of the Visual Object Tracking Segmentation benchmark. Organised the VOT initiative, VOTS builds on 10 years of experience in organising VOT challenges. Building on the tracking setup introduced in VOTS2023, the challenge continues to integrate short-term and long-term tracking, as well as single-target and multi-target scenarios, using segmentation masks as the sole form of target annotation. This year's benchmark features three sub-challenges. VOTS2025 and VOTSt2025, evaluate tracking of conventional objects and objects undergoing topological changes, respectively. A new addition, VOTS-RT2025, aims to foster the development of efficient tracking models by introducing constraints that highlight realtime performance. All sub-challenges adopt a consistent evaluation protocol, with VOTS-RT2025 introducing specific modifications to reflect latency-aware performance. We report and analyze results from 32 submissions. Full tracker descriptions, source code, datasetsand the evaluation toolkit are available on the project website11https://www.votchallenge.net/vots2025/.

Abstract
The VOTS2025 is the third edition of the Visual Object Tracking Segmentation benchmark. Organised the VOT initiative, VOTS builds on 10 years of experience in organising VOT challenges. Building on the tracking setup introduced in VOTS2023, the challenge continues to integrate short-term and long-term tracking, as well as single-target and multi-target scenarios, using segmentation masks as the sole form of target annotation. This year's benchmark features three sub-challenges. VOTS2025 and VOTSt2025, evaluate tracking of conventional objects and objects undergoing topological changes, respectively. A new addition, VOTS-RT2025, aims to foster the development of efficient tracking models by introducing constraints that highlight realtime performance. All sub-challenges adopt a consistent evaluation protocol, with VOTS-RT2025 introducing specific modifications to reflect latency-aware performance. We report and analyze results from 32 submissions. Full tracker descriptions, source code, datasetsand the evaluation toolkit are available on the project website11https://www.votchallenge.net/vots2025/.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
