Efficient Edge Learning for Thermal Vision

Efficient Edge Learning for Thermal Vision

Invited Talk: 27th NEITS Annual Interchange (October 2025)

We present a lightweight, submodular active learning framework for improving person detection models on edge devices by identifying and incorporating uncertain or underrepresented instances from deployment environments.

Project Overview
