MORPHING COMPUTER VISION PIPELINE

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a compute device implements a node of a computing infrastructure used to execute a computer vision (CV) pipeline. The compute device receives a video stream to be processed through the CV pipeline and performs a first portion of the CV pipeline. The compute device then receives a peer node availability indicating peer nodes in the computing infrastructure that are available to perform a second portion of the CV pipeline. Based on the peer node availability, the compute device partitions the second portion of the CV pipeline into one or more partial CV pipelines and offloads the partial CV pipeline(s) to a subset of the peer nodes.
