Catastrophic forgetting in thermal anti-UAV detection systems studied

A new study published on arXiv investigates the problem of catastrophic forgetting in sequential thermal anti-UAV detection systems. Researchers found that naive fine-tuning of YOLOMG, a YOLOv5-based detector, led to a significant capability loss, with up to 90% of prior task knowledge being forgotten. Knowledge distillation showed promise in retaining capabilities, while a proposed method called Scale-Stratified Herding (SSH), which uses a balanced buffer of training examples across different UAV sizes, significantly reduced forgetting and maintained performance on detecting larger targets.
