Camera clustering for scalable stream-based active distillation

16 Apr 2024  ·  Dani Manjah, Davide Cacciarelli, Christophe De Vleeschouwer, Benoit Macq ·

We present a scalable framework designed to craft efficient lightweight models for video object detection utilizing self-training and knowledge distillation techniques. We scrutinize methodologies for the ideal selection of training images from video streams and the efficacy of model sharing across numerous cameras. By advocating for a camera clustering methodology, we aim to diminish the requisite number of models for training while augmenting the distillation dataset. The findings affirm that proper camera clustering notably amplifies the accuracy of distilled models, eclipsing the methodologies that employ distinct models for each camera or a universal model trained on the aggregate camera data.
