New HiPer filter learns object persistence without class labels

Researchers have developed HiPer, a novel hierarchical persistence filter designed for lifelong open-vocabulary object maps. Unlike previous methods that relied on class-based survival priors, HiPer derives persistence beliefs directly from data. It retrieves visually and geometrically similar training instances to estimate an object's survival rate, initializing a belief that is updated with detections and missed observations. This approach allows the map to learn object-specific mobility over time, outperforming existing methods in both simulated and real-world environments. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the robustness and adaptability of AI systems in understanding and tracking objects in dynamic environments.

    Which Objects Stay? Learning Hierarchical Persistence Beliefs for Lifelong Open-Vocabulary Object Maps

    arXiv:2611.07662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lifelong object maps must estimate whether an object remains at its previously observed location after it leaves view. Existing persistence filters rely on class-based survival priors, making them difficult to apply reliably in open…
