  • 新旧类别共享特征,减少混淆与灾难性遗忘
  • 适合需要持续学习新类别的目标检测场景

增量目标检测(IOD)旨在扩展检测器以识别新类别,同时保留已有知识。现有方法多采用类别增量学习视角,分离特征空间以强化决策边界,但这种分离策略忽视了检测中的物体共生现象——共现与遮挡带来的空间和语义依赖关系,若忽略这些依赖会扭曲共享表征,加剧新旧类别混淆,加速灾难性遗忘。为此,本文提出共生启发式知识蒸馏(SIKD),在两个互补层面显式利用物体共生关系:空间共生蒸馏(SpSD)聚焦于旧模型对新任务中物体响应重叠高的区域,保留可泛化的旧类别线索,抑制类别特异性偏差与冗余,并在空间位置匹配处通过槽对齐监督将优化证据蒸馏至新模型;语义共生蒸馏(SeSD)通过为旧类别构建置信度加权原型并对其旧类别逻辑值的类间软排名进行对齐,维持类别层级结构稳定性。大量实验验证了该方法的有效性与优越性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Incremental object detection (IOD) aims to extend detectors to new categories while retaining previously acquired knowledge. Existing methods often adopt a class incremental learning perspective, separating feature spaces to sharpen decision boundaries. However, this separation-oriented paradigm may overlook object symbiosis in detection, where co-occurrence and occlusion introduce spatial and semantic dependencies that benefit from shared representations. Ignoring these dependencies distorts the shared representations, exacerbates confusion between old and new classes, and accelerates catastrophic forgetting. To address this, we propose Symbiosis-Inspired Knowledge Distillation (SIKD), which explicitly leverages object symbiosis at two complementary levels. Spatial Symbiosis Distillation (SpSD) focuses on symbiotic regions where the old model responds with high overlap to objects in the new task. It preserves generalizable old class cues, suppresses class-specific bias and redundancy, and distills the refined evidence to the new model at matched spatial locations with slot-aligned supervision. Semantic Symbiosis Distillation (SeSD) maintains class level structure by forming confidence weighted prototypes for old classes and aligning their inter class soft ranks over the old class logits, which stabilizes the semantic topology during adaptation. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
