Fast-BEV++: Fast by Algorithm, Deployable by Design

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

Fast-BEV++ tackles the trade‑off between accuracy and efficiency in vision‑only Bird’s‑Eye‑View perception by adopting two guiding principles: Fast by Algorithm and Deployable by Design. The method decomposes view transformation into a hardware‑oriented Index‑Gather‑Reshape pipeline, removing the need for custom kernels and delivering at least a three‑fold speedup over baseline approaches. On the nuScenes benchmark, Fast‑BEV++ achieves 0.488 NDS while running in real time at over 134 FPS, with depth supervision providing consistent accuracy gains and the architecture enabling seamless deployment on production‑level platforms.

Evolving Layer-Specific Scalar Functions for Hardware-Aware Transformer Adaptation

The paper introduces a hardware‑aware framework that uses genetic programming to evolve layer‑specific scalar functions for Vision Transformers, replacing traditional LayerNorm with efficient, heterogeneous approximations. By applying a post‑training re‑alignment strategy, the method eliminates the need for full model retraining while achieving 90‑93% variance capture and recovering over 84% of ImageNet‑1K Top‑1 accuracy for ViT‑B and ViT‑L. The resulting architecture removes the global reduction bottleneck, reducing arithmetic complexity and off‑chip memory traffic, thereby enabling efficient deployment of ViTs on edge accelerators.
