新模型同时应对类别和环境变化,无需记忆旧样本即可稳定学习。
DuET: Dual Incremental Object Detection via Exemplar-Free Task Arithmetic
- 用任务算术融合模型,解决增量学习中的符号冲突问题。
- 在两个数据集上分别提升13.12%和11.39%的综合性能指标。
- 适用于YOLO11、RT-DETR等实时检测器,适合自动驾驶等场景。
现实世界的目标检测系统(如自动驾驶、监控)需持续学习新类别并适应环境变化。现有方法仅解决其中一端:类增量检测(CIOD)在未知环境中表现差,域增量检测(DIOD)则存在灾难性遗忘。为此,我们提出双增量目标检测(DuIOD),同时处理类别与域变化,且无需存储旧样本。提出基于任务算术的模型融合框架DuET,通过方向一致性损失缓解符号冲突。该方法不依赖特定检测器,可适配YOLO11、RT-DETR等实现实时增量检测。为全面评估模型鲁棒性,引入保留-适应指数(RAI),综合衡量遗忘程度(平均保留指数Avg RI)与跨域泛化能力。在Pascal系列和多天气系列数据集上的实验表明,DuET在4任务下提升13.12% RAI,保持89.3% Avg RI;在3任务下提升11.39% RAI,保持88.57% Avg RI,显著优于现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Real-world object detection systems, such as those in autonomous driving and surveillance, must continuously learn new object categories and simultaneously adapt to changing environmental conditions. Existing approaches, Class Incremental Object Detection (CIOD) and Domain Incremental Object Detection (DIOD) only address one aspect of this challenge. CIOD struggles in unseen domains, while DIOD suffers from catastrophic forgetting when learning new classes, limiting their real-world applicability. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Dual Incremental Object Detection (DuIOD), a more practical setting that simultaneously handles class and domain shifts in an exemplar-free manner. We propose DuET, a Task Arithmetic-based model merging framework that enables stable incremental learning while mitigating sign conflicts through a novel Directional Consistency Loss. Unlike prior methods, DuET is detector-agnostic, allowing models like YOLO11 and RT-DETR to function as real-time incremental object detectors. To comprehensively evaluate both retention and adaptation, we introduce the Retention-Adaptability Index (RAI), which combines the Average Retention Index (Avg RI) for catastrophic forgetting and the Average Generalization Index for domain adaptability into a common ground. Extensive experiments on the Pascal Series and Diverse Weather Series demonstrate DuET's effectiveness, achieving a +13.12% RAI improvement while preserving 89.3% Avg RI on the Pascal Series (4 tasks), as well as a +11.39% RAI improvement with 88.57% Avg RI on the Diverse Weather Series (3 tasks), outperforming existing methods.
