IoT-Oriented Edge Computing-Driven Computer Vision Solution

The rise of IoT devices has led to a surge in data generation, necessitating efficient processing solutions. Traditional cloud-centric approaches face challenges like latency, bandwidth and privacy issues. Edge computing, a promising paradigm, enables data processing closer to the source, enhancing IoT-driven computer vision applications. This shift integrates edge computing frameworks with a study that proposed a novel drosophila food search-tuned convolutional neural network (DFS-CNN) and computer vision algorithms for real-time tasks like object detection and anomaly detection. We collected acquisition data from labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) video and image dataset, the acquisition data were preprocessed using a bilateral filter for minimizing noise while maintaining sharp edges, and then filtered data were extracted using a histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) — the DFS-CNN model using the HOG feature set to detection the computer vision solution. The optimal DFS-CNN model was deployed on edge computing and is used in an IoT-based architecture to compute and transport data for real-time performance simulation using Tensor Flow Lite. The proposed method is compared to other traditional algorithms. The proposed DFS-CNN model detects objects in the LWT image with 96% accuracy. The proposed DFS-CNN model was used to address students’ inactivity status during the online exam, and that the outcome of the suggested method was tested with data latency, and real-time response, according to a comparative performance analysis.
