Benchmarking and Performance Analysis of a Deep Learning Model on Edge Computing Platforms for Occupancy Detection in Smart Buildings
摘要
Occupancy detection is highly beneficial in smart buildings and smart homes for automation and optimization of power consumption. This paper presents a Neural Network model utilizing various environmental sensors to predict occupancy. While different statistical machine learning models for occupancy detection are available in the literature, they have not been thoroughly analyzed for deployment on edge computing platforms. Edge devices typically have limited computational resources. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze the performance of machine learning models on edge platforms before deployment. In this study, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested on various 32-bit microcontrollers. The results demonstrate that the lowest inference time is achieved using the STM32H735G microcontroller, which operates at 550 MHz.
