• Abstract: Incremental learning requires a model to continually learn new tasks from streaming data. However, traditional fine-tuning of a well-trained deep neural network on a new task will dramatically degrade performance on the old task -- a problem known as catastrophic forgetting. In this paper, we address this issue in the context of anchor-free object detection, which is a new trend in computer vision as it is simple, fast, and flexible. Simply adapting current incremental learning strategies fails on these anchor-free detectors due to lack of consideration of their specific model structures. To deal with the challenges of incremental learning on anchor-free object detectors, we propose a novel incremental learning paradigm called Selective and Inter-related Distillation (SID). In addition, a novel evaluation metric is proposed to better assess the performance of detectors under incremental learning conditions. By selective distilling at the proper locations and further transferring additional instance relation knowledge, our method demonstrates significant advantages on the benchmark datasets PASCAL VOC and COCO.

  We propose the Incremental-DETR that does incremental few-shot object detection via fine-tuning and self-supervised learning on the DETR object detector. To alleviate severe over-fitting with few novel class data, we first fine-tune the class-specific components of DETR with self-supervision. We further introduce a incremental few-shot fine-tuning strategy with knowledge distillation on the class-specific components of DETR to encourage the network in detecting novel classes without catastrophic forgetting.
