Abstract:Latency-critical computer vision systems, such as autonomous driving or drone control, require fast image or video compression when offloading neural network inference to a remote computer. To ensure low latency on a near-sensor edge device, we propose the use of lightweight encoders with constant bitrate and pruned encoding configurations, namely, ASTC and JPEG XS. Pruning introduces significant distortion which we show can be recovered by retraining the neural network with compressed data after decompression… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
