AyE-Edge: Automated Deployment Space Search Empowering Accuracy yet Efficient Real-Time Object Detection on the Edge

arXiv:2408.05363v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Object detection on the edge (Edge-OD) is in growing demand thanks to its ever-broad application prospects. However, the development of this field is rigorously restricted by the deployment dilemma of simultaneously achieving high accuracy, excellent power efficiency, and meeting strict real-time requirements. To tackle this dilemma, we propose AyE-Edge, the first-of-this-kind development tool that explores automated algorithm-device deployment space search to realize Accurate yet power-Efficient real-time object detection on the Edge. Through a collaborative exploration of keyframe selection, CPU-GPU configuration, and DNN pruning strategy, AyE-Edge excels in extensive real-world experiments conducted on a mobile device. The results consistently demonstrate AyE-Edge’s effectiveness, realizing outstanding real-time performance, detection accuracy, and notably, a remarkable 96.7% reduction in power consumption, compared to state-of-the-art (SOTA) competitors.
