The proposed method mainly consists of three components: DBD with fused label (FL), DBD. with dusting the input space ( DIS), and knowledge consolidation (KC) The ablation study on these three components is shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen that all components contributes to the continual knowledge accumulation with new data.
