Proposes DynaProto, a dynamic prototypical contrast method for unsupervised video object-centric learning that enforces temporal consistency beyond adjacent frames.

Problem

Unsupervised video object-centric learning needs temporally consistent object representations, but existing methods assume adjacent frames share the same object composition, which fails for real videos where objects persist over long spans while composition changes.

Approach

Replaces the local adjacent-frame consistency assumption with dynamic prototypical contrast that tracks object prototypes across longer temporal spans, allowing object composition to change over time.
