摘要

Quantization of deep neural networks has emerged as an enabler for deploying these models on resource-constrained edge devices. This paper evaluates current quantization techniques using a custom dataset for agricultural applications, specifically for detecting sugarbeet plants and weeds from an aerial perspective. The experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in inference speed with minimal accuracy loss whilst achieving state-of-the-art compression rates for both ResNet18 and ResNet50 architectures.
