Poster: Lightweight Features Sharing for Real-Time Object Detection in Cooperative Driving

In model partitioning for real-time object detection, part of the model is deployed on a vehicle, and the remaining layers are processed in the cloud. Model partitioning requires transmitting intermediate features to the cloud, which can be problematic, given that the latency requirements are strict. This paper addresses this issue by demonstrating a lightweight featuresharing strategy while investigating a trade-off between detection quality and latency. We report details on layer partitioning, such as which layers to split in order to achieve the desired accuracy.
