Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for object detection to achieve hard real-time performance with low latency. Real-time object detection frameworks are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a framework comprises a first CPU core, a second CPU core, and a plurality of shaves. In one or more embodiments, the first CPU core handles general CPU tasks, while the second CPU core handles the image frames from a camera sensor and computation task scheduling. In one or more embodiments, the scheduled computation tasks are implemented by the plurality of shaves using at least one object-detection model to detect an object in an image frame. In one or more embodiments, computation results from the object-detection model with a higher detection probability is used to form an output for object detection. In one or more embodiments, the object-detection models share some parameters for smaller size and higher implementing speed.
