通过损失感知采样与记忆增强,缓解激光雷达定位中的灾难性遗忘问题。
Learning from Mistakes: Loss-Aware Memory Enhanced Continual Learning for LiDAR Place Recognition
- 根据样本损失值动态选择难样本进行回放,提升学习效率。
- 在新任务训练中微调记忆样本损失,强化长期知识保留。
- 适用于自动驾驶和机器人导航的持续学习场景。
激光雷达环境识别在SLAM、机器人导航和自动驾驶中至关重要。然而,现有方法在适应新环境时容易遗忘旧知识,即灾难性遗忘问题。为此,本文提出KDF+框架,基于KDF范式引入损失感知采样策略和回放增强机制。该采样策略通过损失值估计样本学习难度,优先回放更难样本(富含判别信息),同时保持数据分布覆盖。回放增强机制在新任务训练中轻微降低记忆样本损失,以强化对旧任务的知识保留。多基准测试表明,KDF+显著优于现有持续学习方法,并可无缝集成至当前主流方法,实现稳定且显著的性能提升。代码将开源于https://github.com/repo/KDF-plus。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LiDAR place recognition plays a crucial role in SLAM, robot navigation, and autonomous driving. However, existing LiDAR place recognition methods often struggle to adapt to new environments without forgetting previously learned knowledge, a challenge widely known as catastrophic forgetting. To address this issue, we propose KDF+, a novel continual learning framework for LiDAR place recognition that extends the KDF paradigm with a loss-aware sampling strategy and a rehearsal enhancement mechanism. The proposed sampling strategy estimates the learning difficulty of each sample via its loss value and selects samples for replay according to their estimated difficulty. Harder samples, which tend to encode more discriminative information, are sampled with higher probability while maintaining distributional coverage across the dataset. In addition, the rehearsal enhancement mechanism encourages memory samples to be further refined during new-task training by slightly reducing their loss relative to previous tasks, thereby reinforcing long-term knowledge retention. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that KDF+ consistently outperforms existing continual learning methods and can be seamlessly integrated into state-of-the-art continual learning for LiDAR place recognition frameworks to yield significant and stable performance gains. The code will be available at https://github.com/repo/KDF-plus.
