* Integration of native single-target trackers with the VOTS toolkit is simplified!<br>
<br>
<b>Three challenges available:</b><br>
* VOTS2025 challenge - Continuation of the VOTS2023 challenge. The task is to track one or more general targets over short-term or long-term sequences by segmentation.<br>
* VOTS2025-RT challenge - Realtime version of VOTS2025 challenge on hardware-constrained setup.<br>
* VOTSt2025 challenge - Continuation of the VOTSt2024 challenge. The task is to track general objects undergoing a topological transformation, such as vegetables cut into pieces, machines disassembled, etc.<br>
<br>
<b>IMPORTANT DATES:</b><br>
* 13th May, 2025 - All challenges open<br>
* 22nd June, 2025 - Results submission deadline<br>
