Por otra parte, resulta de importancia histórica...

This thesis comprises a set of contributions to the state of the art of embedded computer vision systems. CNNs constitute an accurate and flexible approach for artificial vision. They significantly outperform traditional algorithms based on prescribed features. This has prompted the development of a myriad of specific hardware and software...

Many application scenarios of edge visual inference, e.g., robotics or environmental monitoring, eventually require long periods of continuous operation. In such periods, the processor temperature plays a critical role to keep a prescribed frame rate. Particularly, the heavy computational load of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) may lead to...

While providing the same functionality, the various Deep Learning software frameworks available these days do not provide similar performance when running the same network model on a particular hardware platform. On the contrary, we show that the different coding techniques and underlying acceleration libraries have a great impact on the...

In this paper, we analyze heterogeneous performance exhibited by some popular deep learning software frameworks for visual inference on a resource-constrained hardware platform. Benchmarking of Caffe, OpenCV, TensorFlow, and Caffe2 is performed on the same set of convolutional neural networks in terms of instantaneous throughput, power...

This paper describes a methodology to select the optimum combination of deep neuralnetwork and software framework for visual inference on embedded systems. As a first step, benchmarkingis required. In particular, we have benchmarked six popular network models running on four deep learningframeworks implemented on a low-cost embedded platform....

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have emerged as the reference processing architecture for the implementation of multiple computer vision tasks. They achieve much higher accuracy than traditional algorithms based on shallow learning. However, it comes at the cost of a substantial increase of computational resources. This constitutes a challenge for...

This demo showcases a low-cost smart camera where different hardware configurations can be selected to perform image recognition on deep neural networks.
