Network-Aware 5G Edge Computing for Object Detection: Augmenting Wearables to "See" More, Farther and Faster. (arXiv:2112.13194v2 [eess.IV] UPDATED)

Advanced wearable devices are increasingly incorporating high-resolution
multi-camera systems. As state-of-the-art neural networks for processing the
resulting image data are computationally demanding, there has been growing
interest in leveraging fifth generation (5G) wireless connectivity and mobile
edge computing for offloading this processing to the cloud. To assess this
possibility, this paper presents a detailed simulation and evaluation of 5G
wireless offloading for object detection within a powerful, new smart wearable
called VIS4ION, for the Blind-and-Visually Impaired (BVI). The current VIS4ION …
