Leveraging Transprecision Computing for Machine Vision Applications at the Edge
share
Machine vision tasks present challenges for resource constrained edge devices, particularly as they execute multiple tasks with variable workloads. A robust approach that can dynamically adapt in runtime while maintaining the maximum quality of service (QoS) within resource constraints, is needed. The paper presents a lightweight approach that monitors the runtime workload constraint and leverages accuracy-throughput trade-off. Optimisation techniques are included which find the configurations for each task for optimal accuracy, energy and memory and manages transparent switching between configurations. For an accuracy drop of 1 with further improvements possible at lower accuracy.
