Deeplite Blog MCUBench: Benchmarking Tiny Object Detectors on Microcontroller Units

This blog is a summary of the research paper Sah, Sudakar, et al. "MCUBench A Benchmark of Tiny Object Detectors on MCUs." Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF European Conference on Computer Vision 2024, accepted at the ECCV 2024 CADL Workshop.  You can find the CADL Workshop presentation here.   In the rapidly evolving field of computer vision, object detection plays a crucial role in applications ranging from self-driving cars to security systems. However, deploying these advanced models on resource-constrained devices like Microcontroller Units (MCUs) presents unique challenges. Enter MCUBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate the performance of tiny object detectors on MCUs.
