Advanced driver-assistance systems powered by deep learning models are transforming the mobility and transportation industry. However, a common barrier to deployment is the inability to achieve high accuracy and real-time inference performance on edge devices. Both factors are absolutely mission critical for ensuring not only the application’s usability, but also safety for the users.
Watch a compilation of clips demonstrating how you can use Deci to develop a variety of automotive use cases.
An automotive company running a U-Net based segmentation model on a NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX struggled to achieve the target latency in production.
Using Deci’s AutoNAC engine, a faster and smaller model was generated. Latency was reduced by 2.1x, model size was reduced by 3x, and memory footprint was reduced by 3x – all while maintaining the original accuracy.
A large company delivering solutions for ADAS/AD needed to improve latency performance of a segmentation model used for real-time depth estimation for an automotive use case. The original model was based on MobileNetV2.
The company’s team used the Deci AutoNAC engine to build a custom model architecture to meet their inference performance targets while maintaining their original accuracy on the NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti hardware. As a result of this, the company is now able to deliver real-time inference performance for its automotive application.
An automotive company wanted to improve the latency of a model powering their road condition estimation system. The poor latency of their baseline image classification model was impacting the real-time performance on their target hardware, a NVIDIA Xavier AGX.
The team used Deci’s AutoNAC engine to build a customized model, resulting in a 2.1x acceleration in latency. Accuracy was improved by +4%, throughput was improved by 2x, and the model size was reduced by 3.2x.
Deci is used by companies in the automotive industry to develop and optimize a wide range of applications. Here are some examples.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
