Albireo: Adaptive, Energy-Efficient Inference Framework for Video Object Detection on the Edge

Albireo is an adaptive, energy‑efficient inference framework for video object detection on edge devices that wraps existing detectors without modification. It uses a 10‑dimensional Kalman filter per active object to decide when to skip detector calls, predicting bounding boxes on skipped frames at near‑zero GPU cost. Evaluated on BDD100K with YOLO and RF‑DETR detectors on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor and Orin, Albireo maintains AP@50 within ±1.2 pp of full‑frame inference while reducing energy consumption by 12.1–17.6 % and improving accuracy for some models.

Data collection from highways: a geometric, class-agnostic approach to embedded vehicle counting

arXiv:2608. 07643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic data collection is dominated today by deep object detectors followed by tracking-by-detection, a pipeline that presupposes what is often missing in practice: a detector already trained on the class one wants to count.
