Efficient Real-Time Object Detection on Mobile Devices Using YOLOv5
摘要
Limited processing resources, energy restrictions, and latency sensitivity on mobile devices provide special difficulties for object detection. This study evaluates the deployment of YOLOv5s on iOS devices and proposes a multi-stage optimization framework combining structural pruning and hybrid post-training quantization. The optimized model achieves 85.4% mean average precision (mAP) and sustains 35 frames per second (FPS) on an A14 Bionic-powered device, while reducing model size by 73% and improving energy efficiency by 15% compared to the baseline. The approach introduces a dynamic quantization scheme and a redundancy-aware pruning protocol specifically tailored for mobile hardware. Empirical evaluations across real-world scenarios-including AR environments and robotic systems, validate the effectiveness of the optimizations. This work presents the feasibility of advanced vision systems on limited edge devices and offers a repeatable, low-latency deployment pipeline for mobile object detection.
