contents Referring video object segmentation (RVOS) requires tracking and segmenting an object throughout a video according to a given natural language expression, demanding both complex motion understanding and the alignment of visual representations with language descriptions. Given these challenges, the recently proposed Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) emerges as a potential candidate due to its ability to generate coherent segmentation mask tracks across video frames, and provide an inherent spatio-temporal objectness in its object token representations. In this paper, we introduce SOLA (Selection by Object Language Alignment), a novel framework that leverages SAM2 object tokens as compact video-level object representations, which are aligned with language features through a lightweight track selection module. To effectively facilitate this alignment, we propose an IoU-based pseudo-labeling strategy, which bridges the modality gap between SAM2 representations with language features. Extensive experiments show that SOLA achieves state-of-the-art performance on the MeViS dataset and demonstrate that SOLA offers an effective solution for RVOS.
