Efficient Feature Compression for Edge-Cloud Systems

17 Nov 2022  ·  Zhihao Duan, Fengqing Zhu ·

Optimizing computation in an edge-cloud system is an important yet challenging problem. In this paper, we consider a three-way trade-off between bit rate, classification accuracy, and encoding complexity in an edge-cloud image classification system. Our method includes a new training strategy and an efficient encoder architecture to improve the rate-accuracy performance. Our design can also be easily scaled according to different computation resources on the edge device, taking a step towards achieving a rate-accuracy-complexity (RAC) trade-off. Under various settings, our feature coding system consistently outperforms previous methods in terms of the RAC performance.
