2023 LPCVC Overview

For the last eight years, the IEEE Low Power Computer Vision Challenges has been attracting an increasing number of top researchers worldwide to show their solutions that can achieve high accuracy with low energy consumption. The 2023 Low-Power Computer Vision Challenge (2023 LPCVC) was hosted online and featured a single track designed by ACM Sigda and IEEE CEDA.

The task was semantic segmentation of UAV-view disaster scenes(a) into different regions associated with semantic categories related to disasters (b). The dataset consisted of 1,720 512x512 resolution images with 1,120 images released to participants as training and validation data and 600 images were kept private for testing. The models had to segment these images into a 512x512 prediction map. There were 14 different semantic categories. The model was tested on a Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit (power mode 5W).

The challenge was be open for submission from 2023/07/01-2023/08/04, as it was extended by four days due to a power outage on 07/10, which caused the server to crash. Winners will present their solutions during the Embedded Systems Week, which will be held between September 17-22, 2023. Please join the online discussion forum on the Slack.
