Enabling Collaborative Video Sensing at the Edge through Convolutional Sharing
While Deep Neural Network (DNN) models have provided remarkable advances in machine vision capabilities, their high computational complexity and model sizes present a formidable roadblock to deployment in AIoT-based sensing applications. In this paper, we propose a novel paradigm by which peer nodes in a network can collaborate to improve their accuracy on person detection, an exemplar machine vision task. The proposed methodology requires no re-training of the DNNs and incurs minimal processing latency as it extracts scene summaries from the collaborators and injects back into DNNs of the reference cameras, on-the-fly. Early results show promise with improvements in recall as high as 10% with a single collaborator, on benchmark datasets.
