摘要

Embedded vision systems, particularly those deployed in autonomous vehicles, surveillance systems, and wearable devices, face significant challenges due to their stringent constraints on computational power, memory, energy consumption, and real-time processing requirements. To address these challenges, we proposed Adaptive Sparse Neural Architecture (ASNA), a lightweight and efficient computer vision algorithm specifically designed for resource-constrained environments. ASNA introduces four innovations: (1) Adaptive Sparsity with Dynamic Pruning, which optimizes computational efficiency by dynamically pruning neural network weights based on input complexity; (2) Hardware-Aware Quantization with Bit-Level Precision Control, enabling memory and energy savings through precision adjustments tailored to the target hardware; (3) Event-Driven Feature Extraction with Neuromorphic Computing, achieving ultra-low-latency processing by leveraging event-based data streams inspired by biological vision systems; and (4) Federated Learning for On-Device Model Personalization, ensuring scalability and privacy by enabling continuous model adaptation across distributed devices without sharing raw data. These innovations collectively enable ASNA to achieve state-of-the-art performance in tasks such as object detection, segmentation, and tracking while maintaining minimal resource usage. Experimental results on resource-constrained platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson Nano demonstrate that ASNA reduces computational overhead by up to 86.1%, memory usage by 50%, energy consumption by 58.4%, and latency by 90% compared to existing methods, making it ideal for applications in autonomous vehicles, surveillance systems, wearable devices, and industrial automation. By pushing the boundaries of efficiency and adaptability, ASNA represents a significant advancement in the field of embedded vision and sets a new benchmark for lightweight computer vision algorithms.
