Edge AI and Vision Insights: April 9, 2025

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Colleague,

Where can you see all the latest vision and AI building-block technologies in one place? At the Technology Exhibits at the 2025 Embedded Vision Summit, May 20-22 in Santa Clara, California! A past attendee says it best:

“Normally, you’re insulated by several layers of bureaucracy from contacting the people who are actually building and shaping things as they’re happening. The Summit has been a fantastic forum to talk directly to the people who are making things happen and learn from them.”

-Pete Warden, CEO, Useful Sensors

We have an incredible lineup of exhibitors and sponsors at the forefront of AI and computer vision. It’s a unique opportunity to explore the latest processors, cameras, algorithms, libraries and tools—to see them yourself, learn how they work and get your questions answered by the designers themselves!

CLOUD-TO-EDGE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT

Testing Cloud-to-Edge Deep Learning Pipelines: Ensuring Robustness and Efficiency

A cloud-to-edge deep learning pipeline is a fully automated conduit for training and deploying models to the edge. This enables quick model retraining and makes the solution more robust toward data shifts. Cloud-to-edge pipelines are pivotal for many applications, from autonomous vehicles to smart city infrastructure. One of the main challenges with cloud-to-edge deep learning pipelines is ensuring that there is no discrepancy between edge and cloud model performance. In this 2024 Embedded Vision Summit presentation, Rustem Feyzkhanov, Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Instrumental, introduces cloud-to-edge deep learning pipelines. He then delves into key techniques for testing cloud-to-edge deep learning pipelines. He explores the architecture of these pipelines, emphasizing the synergy between cloud processing and edge-based inference. Key focuses include tailored testing strategies (unit, integration, system testing); balancing simulated and real-world scenarios; and evaluating performance metrics beyond accuracy, such as latency and resource utilization. Aimed at professionals, this presentation offers practical insights for developing robust, efficient ML systems. (Want to learn more about migrating designs from the cloud to the edge?
