Scalable and Sustainable Video Analytics on Edge using Sensor Clustering

The proliferation of video analytics in applications like autonomous driving, traffic surveillance, and teleoperated vehicles requires on-premise (on edge) execution of deep learning models to meet latency requirements and curb bandwidth usage by limiting frequent offloading of inference tasks. However, constrained by the compute and power availability on the edge, a cheaper model is typically deployed. These shallower models have two major associated problems: 1) using the same model for all cameras/vehicles gives inconsistent accuracy, and 2) trained models are prone to data drift.
