FlexViT: A Flexible FPGA-based Accelerator for Edge Vision Transformers

arXiv:2606. 31938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deploying Vision Transformer (ViT) models on edge platforms remains challenging due to their high computational demands and the architectural heterogeneity of modern hybrid ViT models, which incorporate both fully connected and convolutional layers.

HAMP-LIC: Hessian-Aware Mixed-Precision Post-Training Quantization for Learned Image Compression

Use this plain-text version for the arXiv abstract field: Learned image compression (LIC) models achieve strong rate-distortion performance but are hindered by high computational complexity and encoding-decoding mismatches across heterogeneous hardware platforms. Uniform fixed-precision quantization alleviates these issues but suffers severe quality degradation at low bit widths because it ignores differences in the quantization sensitivities of individual layers.

Energy-Efficient CNN Acceleration with MSDF Digit-Serial Arithmetic on FPGA

This paper presents an energy-efficient hardware acceleration of the convolutional layers in the U-Net architecture for image segmentation, implemented on FPGA. While digit-serial arithmetic, particularly most-significant-digit-first (MSDF) techniques, offers a compact hardware footprint, it suffers from initial latency before producing the first output digit.

Achieving Near-Zero-Overhead Multi-Model Hierarchical Classification in Real-Time Detection Pipelines

arXiv:2608. 11770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Edge-deployed vision systems in target recognition, surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and drone domains require hierarchical inference pipelines where a detection model identifies objects of interest and downstream classifiers provide fine-grained attribute analysis.

DynaFilter: Cloud-driven Dynamic Filtering for Satellite Edge Intelligence

arXiv:2607. 10098v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern satellite edge systems, including those performing remote sensing tasks such object detection and tracking, are characterized by severely limited bandwidth and intermittent connections, making continuous data transmission to the cloud impractical.

XFeat Revisited: Reproducibility and Evaluation of a Lightweight Image Matcher

We present a reproducibility study of XFeat, a lightweight local feature extractor and matcher designed to identify corresponding points across images efficiently on resource-constrained hardware. We re-implement the architecture based on the paper and supplementary material, re-evaluate the authors' released checkpoint alongside our re-implementation, and conduct additional architectural ablations to examine design choices that were not fully justified in the original work.
