Energy-Efficient On-Device Image Restoration: Benchmarking Compact GANs and Mixed-Precision Quantization for Embedded Vision
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Image Restoration
DOI: https://doi.org/10.64388/IREV6I4-1722519
Abstract
On-device image restoration must remove noise and blur while respecting tight energy budgets. We benchmark three compact restoration GANs under mixed-precision quantization, where weights are held at INT8 and the most sensitive activations remain in FP16. Across denoising and deblurring benchmarks, the mixed-precision scheme recovers nearly full-precision fidelity while lowering per-frame energy to as little as 96 mJ, establishing a favourable accuracy-per-joule frontier for embedded vision.
