Real-time object detection is considered challenging in many UAV applications, such as detection, surveillance, search and rescue, etc. There have been many real-time object recognition models based on deep learning, which however require high computational resources. Generally, the cloud and edge servers are adopted to perform computing tasks based on images captured by the drone cameras.
The most challenging problem with this approach is that, high-definition images are captured and transmitted to the cloud server, the need for network bandwidth is extremely high for real-time object detection, the service by multiple drones is not to scaled out. We suppose the object-recognition is performed via deep neutral network, which is usually applied to the object features abstracted from images as intermediary data. For this reason, our proposed method splits a deep neural network model and executes a part of computation to obtain intermediary data, which is supposed to be smaller than the size of original images. Our approach preserves the accuracy of object recognition at a high level while reducing the volume of transferred wireless data. Moreover, we use additional computational resources for extra layers of the neural network, yet lightweight enough to be executed on a drone, to compress the intermediary data so as to reduce the wireless network bandwidth. Our data compression is optimized for machine learning instead of human eyes so that it reduces the data transmission by as much as 64% compared with the general approach, while the accuracy of object detection is reduced only by 3% . |
