Abstract

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) holds a variety of algorithms designed with the goal of achieving high accuracy at low computational cost and latency. One popular algorithm is the vision transformer (ViT), which excels at various computer vision tasks for its ability to capture long-range dependencies effectively. This paper analyzes a computing paradigm, namely, spatial transformer networks (STN), in terms of accuracy and hardware complexity for image classification tasks. The paper reveals that for 2D applications, such as image recognition and classification, STN is a great backbone for AI algorithms for its efficiency and fast inference time. This framework offers a promising solution for efficient and accurate AI for resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) and edge devices. The comparative analysis of STN implementations on the central processing unit (CPU), Raspberry Pi (RPi), and Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) architectures reveals nuanced performance variations, providing valuable insights into their respective computational efficiency and energy utilization.
