arXiv:2607.00124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Object-centric models inspired by DETR have become the dominant paradigm for open-vocabulary video instance segmentation (OV-VIS). While recent efforts have reduced the computational cost of pixel decoding, textual modality fusion, and object decoding to make these architectures more suitable for mobile devices, real-time on-device inference at high frame rates remains an open challenge. In this paper, we introduce SegFS, a dual-stream fast-slow framework that significantly improves efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. On sparse keyframes, an
