Efficient Detection Framework Adaptation for Edge Computing: A Plug-and-Play Neural Network Toolbox Enabling Edge Deployment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recently, edge computing has emerged as a prevailing paradigm in applying deep learning-based object detection models, offering a promising solution for time-sensitive tasks. However, existing edge object detection faces several challenges: 1) These methods struggle to balance detection precision and model lightweightness. 2) Existing generalized edge-deployment designs offer limited adaptability for object detection. 3) Current works lack real-world evaluation and validation. To address these challenges, we propose theEdgeDetectionToolbox(ED-TOOLBOX), which leverages generalizable plug-and-play components to enable edge-site adaptation of object detection models. Specifically, we propose a lightweightReparameterized Dynamic Convolutional Network(Rep-DConvNet) that employs a weighted multi-shape convolutional branch structure to enhance detection performance. Furthermore, ED-TOOLBOX includes aSparse Cross-Attention(SC-A) network that adopts a localized-mapping-assisted self-attention mechanism to facilitate a well-craftedJoint Modulein adaptively transferring features for further performance improvement. Moreover, we propose anEfficient Headfor the classification and location modules to achieve more efficient prediction. Additionally, in practical industrial scenarios, we identify that helmet detection-one of the most representative edge object detection tasks-overlooks band fastening, which introduces potential safety hazards. To address this, we build aHelmet Band Detection Dataset(HBDD) and apply an edge object detection model optimized by the ED-TOOLBOX to tackle this real-world task. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of components in ED-TOOLBOX. In visual surveillance simulations, ED-TOOLBOX-assisted edge detection models outperform sixstate-of-the-artmethods, enabling real-time and accurate detection. These results demonstrate that our approach offers a superior solution for edge object detection.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
