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
