Symbiosis-Inspired Knowledge Distillation for Incremental Object Detection

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…
