LT-Mem: Volatility-Aware Spatio-Temporal Memory for Lifelong Scene Understanding

Lee, Yumin, Ju, Hyoseok, Kim, Giseop
TL;DR:LT-Mem:波动感知的时空记忆演化——确定性证据评分保跨会话物体身份,波动感知策略在覆盖/保持/多假设间选择,Tri-Memory 存当前状态+事件历史。

🎯 问题

长期机器人在演化环境中的物体级理解需要跨多次重访持续存在;现有系统要么覆盖历史保地图最新,要么存语义快照但无跨会话一致身份,造成时间性失忆(如「绿椅子各次会话在哪」答不出)。

🔬 方法

LT-Mem:多会话 SLAM 提供空间对齐的逐物体观测;推理层用确定性证据评分保身份、波动感知策略按物体动态在覆盖/保持/多假设动作间选择;Tri-Memory(Live/Delta/Meta)同时保存当前状态与事件历史。

📝 原文摘要

▶ 原文摘要 Abstract
Long-term robot operation in evolving environments requires object-level understanding that persists across repeated revisits. Existing systems either overwrite history to maintain an up-to-date map or store semantic snapshots without consistent cross-session object identity, resulting in temporal amnesia: the systematic loss of object history that prevents answering queries such as "Where has the green chair been across all sessions?" We propose LT-Mem, a volatility-aware memory evolution framework that unifies spatially aligned instance-level 3D perception with volatility-conditioned temporal reasoning. First, a multi-session SLAM backbone provides spatially aligned per-object observations across sessions. Second, a reasoning layer governs how object memory evolves: deterministic evidence scoring preserves cross-session identity, and a volatility-aware policy selects among overwrite, hold, and multi-hypothesis actions based on each object's dynamics. Third, the resulting Tri-Memory structure (Live, Delta, Meta) preserves both current states and event histories, enabling longitudinal object-centric reasoning. We further introduce LT-VQA, a dataset and evaluation suite comprising multi-session recordings, persistent identity annotations, and temporal QA pairs. Experiments show that LT-Mem consistently outperforms baselines across all metrics while consuming an order of magnitude fewer tokens, and ablations confirm that gains are driven by the structured memory architecture rather than LLM capacity.
