RT Journal Article T1 High performance inference of gait recognition models on embedded systems. A1 Ruiz Barroso, Paula A1 Castro, Francisco M. A1 Delgado-Escaño, Rubén A1 Ramos-Cózar, Julián A1 Guil-Mata, Nicolás K1 Biomecánica K1 Aprendizaje automático AB Edge computing is gaining importance in the realm of Deep Learning, particularly after powerful devices such as recent heterogeneous embedded systems have demonstrated remarkable skills for accelerating their challenging computational requirements. In this work, we evaluate different hardware and software optimizations applied to state-of-the-art gait recognition approaches deployed on two Jetson devices with very different hardware capabilities. Specifically, we have selected three models with different characteristics in order to provide an in-depth deployment evaluation. This way, a 2D convolution-based model allows us to evaluate devices performance when a huge number of parameters must be managed. A model based on 3D convolutions is deployed to study devices capability to perform these kinds of operations. Finally, a novel model with a small number of parameters but with a huge number of activations is also evaluated. Obtained results show that different hardware and software optimizations are able to improve up to energy consumption and execution time w.r.t. baseline deployment, depending on the model and target device.1 PB Elsevier YR 2022 FD 2022 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/38580 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/38580 LA eng NO Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems, 36, 100814.
