ZeBROD is a zero‑retraining framework that tackles catastrophic forgetting in object detection by combining YOLO11n for localization with DeIT and Proxy Anchor Loss for feature extraction. It classifies products using cosine similarity against embeddings stored in a Qdrant vector database, enabling accurate detection of both new and existing items without retraining. In a retail store experiment with 140 products, ZeBROD achieved high accuracy and nearly three times faster training than traditional methods, while maintaining an inference time of 580 ms per image on an edge device.

LiAM‑SAM is a lifecycle‑aware memory framework designed to improve segmentation‑based multi‑object tracking (MOT) with the SAM2 foundation video model. It addresses three common failure modes—faulty track initiation, memory drift during close interactions, and unreliable re‑identification after occlusion—by introducing contrastive track initiation, motion‑ and geometry‑grounded memory correction, and adaptive context memory. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art HOTA and IDF1 scores, with ablations showing significant gains in association metrics and a 96% reduction in identity switches.

The paper investigates how rectifying supermarket product images using homography estimation and the Hough transform can improve deep learning-based object detection. It evaluates the impact of angle variation and object density on detection accuracy, highlighting both benefits and limitations of image rectification. The authors advocate for a new dataset to further study these effects.
CF-YOLO introduces a real‑time detection framework for camouflaged micro‑defects on industrial components, combining a Context‑Perception Aggregation Module (CPAM) that fuses large‑kernel macro‑texture cues with small‑kernel boundary details, and a Feature Additive Refinement Module (FARM) that globally refines fine‑grained anomaly representations. The authors also release the Copper Tube Defect Dataset (CTDD), a benchmark of 1,847 images with 4,898 annotated defect boxes. Experiments show CF‑YOLO outperforms baseline detectors such as YOLOv11 by 2.2% in mAP@50 and 3.9% in Precision while preserving real‑time speed.

CALIPER is a model‑free RGB‑D framework that performs fine‑grained recognition of visually similar industrial parts by combining support‑based appearance matching with metric size evidence. Each class is onboarded from a single turntable RGB‑D video and a few labeled real images, enabling 3D reconstruction for appearance support and depth‑aligned size profiling. At inference, a YOLOv8n‑seg model localizes parts, a frozen DINOv2 backbone with an episodically trained embedding head matches support, and margin‑conditioned metric fusion selectively uses size evidence for ambiguous cases, achieving high accuracy on 18 parts and robust enrollment of unseen screws without retraining.
arXiv:2607. 09785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditionally, continual learning has assumed access to labeled data, yet many real-world applications -- such as lifelong robotics -- require models to adapt continuously from unlabeled streams.
arXiv:2601. 22012v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting in continual learning is often measured at the performance or last-layer representation level, overlooking the underlying mechanisms.
