In this paper, we consider a three-way trade-off between bit rate, classification accuracy, and encoding complexity in an edge-cloud image classification system. Our method includes a new training strategy and an efficient encoder architecture to improve the rate-accuracy performance. Our design can also be easily scaled according to different computation resources on the edge device, taking a step towards achieving a rate-accuracy-complexity (RAC) trade-off. Under various settings, our feature coding system consistently outperforms previous methods in terms of the RAC performance.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09897v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.09897v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"efficient-feature-compression-for-edge-cloud","repo_url":"https://github.com/duanzhiihao/edge-cloud-rac","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification-1","task_name":"Classification"},{"task_slug":"feature-compression","task_name":"Feature Compression"},{"task_slug":"image-classification","task_name":"Image Classification"},{"task_slug":"image-classification","task_name":"image-classification"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
