Optimization of DNN computer vision algorithms resource constrained tactical edge

About the Research

Objection detection and semantic segmentation-based computer vision algorithms are essential for visual scene understanding on tactical edge computing devices. These algorithms typically rely on complex deep neural network architectures that are computationally intensive and not optimized for resource-constrained edge platforms. In this role, you will profile several computer vision algorithms and optimize them for deployment on edge computing platforms with limited resources.

You will also develop a generalized model‑switching framework for dynamic loading of models to balance resource constraints with mission requirements.
