From Waveforms to Pixels: A Survey on Audio-Visual Segmentation
Audio-Visual Segmentation (AVS) aims to identify and segment sound-producing objects in videos by leveraging both visual and audio modalities. It has emerged as a significant research area in multimodal perception, enabling fine-grained object-level understanding. In this survey, we present a comprehensive overview of the AVS field, covering its problem formulation, benchmark datasets, evaluation metrics, and the progression of methodologies. We analyze a wide range of approaches, including architectures for unimodal and multimodal encoding, key strategies for audio-visual fusion, and various decoder designs. Furthermore, we examine major training paradigms, from fully supervised learning to weakly supervised and training-free methods. Notably, we provide an extensive comparison of AVS methods across standard benchmarks, highlighting the impact of different architectural choices, fusion strategies, and training paradigms on performance. Finally, we outline the current challenges, such as limited temporal modeling, modality bias toward vision, lack of robustness in complex environments, and high computational demands, and propose promising future directions, including improving temporal reasoning and multimodal fusion, leveraging foundation models for better generalization and few-shot learning, reducing reliance on labeled data through selfand weakly supervised learning, and incorporating higher-level reasoning for more intelligent AVS systems.
