Continual learning (CL) empowers AI systems to progressively acquire knowledge from non-stationary data streams. However, catastrophic forgetting remains a critical challenge. In this work, we identify attention drift in Vision Transformers as a primary source of catastrophic forgetting, where the a
Incremental Object Detection (IOD) aims to continuously learn new object classes without forgetting previously learned ones. A persistent challenge is catastrophic forgetting, primarily attributed to background shift in conventional detectors. While pseudo-labeling mitigates this in dense detectors,
Infrared imaging plays a critical role in low-light and adverse weather conditions. However, due to the distinct characteristics of infrared images, existing foundation models such as Masked Autoencoder (MAE) trained on visible data perform suboptimal in infrared image interpretation tasks. To bridg
Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires incrementally detecting known categories while reliably identifying unknown objects. Existing methods primarily focus on improving unknown recall, yet overlook interpretability, often leading to known–unknown confusion and reduced prediction reliability. T…
Accurately localizing and segmenting small targets in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) infrared sequences remains a challenging task. Since targets are often indistinguishable from the background in individual frames, existing methods, even when equipped with advanced foundation model and powerful in…
Current methodologies for incremental object detection (IOD) primarily rely on Faster R-CNN or DETR series detectors; however, these approaches do not accommodate the real-time YOLO detection frameworks. In this paper, we first identify three primary types of knowledge conflicts that contribute to c
Catastrophic forgetting is a critical chanllenge for incremental object detection (IOD). Most existing methods treat the detector monolithically, relying on instance replay or knowledge distillation without analyzing component-specific forgetting. Through dissection of Faster R-CNN, we reveal a key…
Pansharpening aims at integrating complementary information from panchromatic and multispectral images. Available deep-learning based pansharpening methods typically perform exceptionally with particular satellite datasets. At the same time, it has been observed that these models also exhibit scene…
Incremental object detection (IOD) is crucial for enabling AI systems to continuously learn new object classes over time while retaining knowledge of previously learned categories, allowing model to adapt to dynamic environments without forgetting prior information.Existing IOD methods primarily emp…
Generative replay has gained significant attention in class-incremental learning; however, its application to Class Incremental Object Detection (CIOD) remains limited due to the challenges in generating complex images with precise spatial arrangements. In this study, motivated by the observation th…
Visual prompt tuning-based continual learning (CL) methods have shown promising performance in exemplar-free scenarios, where their key component can be viewed as a prompt generator. Existing approaches generally rely on freezing old prompts, slow updating and task discrimination for prompt generato…
Pansharpening is a feasible way to obtain the high-resolution (HR) multispectral (MS) images by using panchromatic (PAN) images to sharpen low-resolution MS images. Despite its great advances, most existing pansharpening methods neglect the importance of integrating local and non-local characteristi…
"In this paper, we construct a large-scale benchmark dataset for Ground-to-Aerial Video-based person Re-Identification, named G2A-VReID, which comprises 185,907 images and 5,576 tracklets, featuring 2,788 distinct identities. To our knowledge, this is the first dataset for video ReID under Ground-to…
Existing prompt-tuning methods have demonstrated impressive performances in continual learning (CL), by selecting and updating relevant prompts in the vision-transformer models. On the contrary, this paper aims to learn each task by tuning the prompts in the direction orthogonal to the subspace span…
Multi-modal image matching is very challenging due to the significant diversities in visual appearance of different modal images. Typically, the existing well-performed methods mainly focus on learning invariant and discriminative features for measuring the relation between multi-modal image pairs.…
