We propose SEAM, a LiDAR-based lifelong mapping framework. Instead of relying on a single anchor spanning the entire session, SEAM generates evidence based on a trajectory optimized with submap-level anchors, and performs dynamic object removal and change detection. Through submap-level reprojection, the generated evidence remains usable even if the trajectory is subsequently modified by a new session, eliminating the need to recompute the entire process from scratch. SEAM suppresses geometrically unreliable inter-session loop edges using a DOP-based confidence measure. Suppressing unreliable loop edges prevents alignment errors. SEAM also uses a directional voxel-wise evidence model. The model accounts for occupancy patterns that vary with ray direction. Direction-aware evidence separates dynamic objects from environmental changes more precisely. Experiments on a real construction-site dataset and a long-term multi-session dataset show that SEAM achieves higher accuracy and faster processing than existing methods.
