Leveraging Motion Estimation for Efficient Bayer-Domain Video Convolutional Networks

The paper introduces Motion Estimation-based Video Convolution (MEVC), a framework that removes the need for image signal processors by operating directly on raw Bayer pixel data. MEVC incorporates sliding‑window motion estimation into each convolutional layer, allowing prediction and residual refinement to cut redundant computations across frames. The resulting end‑to‑end pipeline achieves more than 70% reduction in FLOPs while maintaining accuracy on video semantic segmentation, depth estimation, and object detection tasks.

A 25-$\mu$s/inf Event-driven Graph Neural Network Processor with Spatiotemporal Caching and Spline Convolution for Ultra-low-latency AI at the Edge

The paper introduces ETHEREAL, the first accelerator for event-driven graph neural networks (EV‑GNNs) that can handle 640×480 resolution inputs. It achieves this through a neighbor‑parallel spline convolution engine and a 2D/3D‑split memory hierarchy that includes a novel region‑of‑interest spatiotemporal caching mechanism. Measurements show end‑to‑end inference latency of 25.6 µs and energy consumption of 1.7 µJ per event on state‑of‑the‑art workloads.
