• Title: Incremental Object Detection with CLIP
• Authors: Ziyue Huang, Yupeng He, Qingjie Liu, Yunhong Wang,
• Abstract summary: We propose a visual-language model such as CLIP to generate text feature embeddings for different class sets. We then employ super-classes to replace the unavailable novel classes in the early learning stage to simulate the incremental scenario. We incorporate the finely recognized detection boxes as pseudo-annotations into the training process, thereby further improving the detection performance.

• Abstract: In contrast to the incremental classification task, the incremental detection task is characterized by the presence of data ambiguity, as an image may have differently labeled bounding boxes across multiple continuous learning stages. This phenomenon often impairs the model's ability to effectively learn new classes. However, existing research has paid less attention to the forward compatibility of the model, which limits its suitability for incremental learning. To overcome this obstacle, we propose leveraging a visual-language model such as CLIP to generate text feature embeddings for different class sets, which enhances the feature space globally. We then employ super-classes to replace the unavailable novel classes in the early learning stage to simulate the incremental scenario. Finally, we utilize the CLIP image encoder to accurately identify potential objects. We incorporate the finely recognized detection boxes as pseudo-annotations into the training process, thereby further improving the detection performance. We evaluate our approach on various incremental learning settings using the PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset, and our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly for recognizing the new classes.

  This paper extends the scope of continual learning research to class-incremental learning for multiple object tracking (MOT) Previous solutions for continual learning of object detectors do not address the data association stage of appearance-based trackers. We introduce COOLer, a COntrastive- and cOntinual-Learning-based tracker, which incrementally learns to track new categories while preserving past knowledge.

  A novel Incremental Few-Shot Object Detection (iFSOD) method is proposed to enable the effective continual learning from few-shot samples. Specifically, a Double-Branch Framework (DBF) is proposed to decouple the feature representation of base and novel (few-shot) class. We conduct experiments on both Pascal VOC and MS-COCO, which demonstrate that our method can effectively solve the problem of incremental few-shot detection.
