Hardware-Aware Learned Representation Compression for Distributed In-Sensor Vision
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.13947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In-sensor computing reduces the cost of transmitting high-resolution image data by performing early-stage processing near the sensor. However, the logic chip integrated with a CMOS image sensor (CIS) is tightly constrained in compute and memory, limiting conventional deep neural network partitioning. We present OASIS, a distributed in-sensor vision framework that uses a lightweight encoder to generate compact, task-relevant representations before off-chip transmission. The encoder is trained end-to-end using task, entropy, and reconstruction ob
