The paper explores the hypothesis that Continual Learning (CL) methods can improve the performance of a deep learning model in a traditional machine learning scenario. By augmenting an existing state-of-the-art ML solution to a problem with CL techniques, this research aims to demonstrate that AI can still achieve more accurate and adaptive performance. This hypothesis is tested on a parking lot occupancy detection problem, a binary classification problem that is well-suited to CL due to the continuous stream of image data. Experiments are conducted to compare the proposed CL-based solution and a contemporary solution that is non-CL based.
