DetM-Tracker is a lightweight Video Instance Segmentation framework designed for autonomous industrial inspection. It reduces memory and computation by condensing instance features into four-scalar descriptors, dynamically allocating query capacity, and using entropy-gated skip connections to focus processing on uncertain regions. The method achieves roughly 20× lower inference latency and 6× less VRAM usage than dense-feature baselines.

Autonomous industrial inspection requires strictly deterministic real-time inference under tight memory and computational constraints. However, existing Video Instance Segmentation (VIS) models suffer...
The paper introduces a holistic framework that jointly optimizes architecture, token, and bit-width for Vision Transformers (ViTs). It uses Neural Architecture Search (AutoFormer) to find compact backbones, token merging (ToMe) to reduce information processing, and fp16 mixed‑precision inference to accelerate operations. Experiments on ImageNet‑1K and a real‑world 3D X‑ray semiconductor defect dataset show over 10× improvements in throughput and reductions in parameters, FLOPs, and energy while preserving accuracy.
