Object detection and classification using computer vision and deep learning on edge devices
摘要
This paper presents a novel approach to enhance real-time surveillance systems by overcoming two key limitations in traditional models: slow tracking and low-resolution output. A dual-stream processing architecture is proposed, integrating a dedicated facial metadata stream to improve responsiveness and tracking accuracy. By isolating facial features and excluding background data, the system achieves greater computational and storage efficiency. Leveraging AI-based computer vision and facial recognition techniques, the model significantly increases the frame processing rate, enabling precise coordinate plotting and faster face tracking. The system’s performance was evaluated in four areas: disk I/O speed, tracking accuracy, GPU performance, and frame rate. Disk tests showed peak write and read speeds of 13.542 MB/s and 2.742 MB/s, respectively, sufficient under peak load, though occasional write drops point to possible buffer overflow risks. Accuracy testing revealed results with less than 1% error compared to reference values. GPU analysis showed dynamic power scaling from 5.564 to 30.857 W, with clock speeds up to 1785 MHz, demonstrating adaptive resource use. Frame rate testing confirmed that the new model consistently captured up to 60 frames, a significant improvement over the 21-frame average in legacy systems. This efficiency in resource utilization not only boosts tracking precision and system reliability but also supports privacy-aware surveillance by avoiding unnecessary data collection. The proposed method proves effective in delivering smart, high-performance, and sustainable security solutions, paving the way for next-generation surveillance technologies aligned with modern privacy standards.
