Relaxing Distillation Constraints for Improved New Class Learning in Continual Semantic Segmentation

Zheng Ti;Xuze Hao;Renhai Chen

ICASSP 2025 - 2025 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
Year: 2025 | Conference Paper |
Continual Semantic Segmentation (CSS) aims to continuously learn new classes while mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Existing CSS methods primarily address this challenge through knowledge distillation. While they focus on maintaining stability for old classes, this emphasis often restricts plasticity in learning new ones. In this work, we propose two plug-and-play methods to better balance stab...Show More
