Edge ML for Real-Time Computer Vision
When you need to process video in real-time — whether it’s tracking objects, detecting anomalies, or analyzing motion — you face a fundamental choice: cloud or edge? Here’s why edge ML is often the better answer, and how to make it work. Why Edge? Latency matters. A round-trip to the cloud takes 50-200ms minimum. For real-time tracking, that’s an eternity. Edge processing can hit single-digit milliseconds. Bandwidth is expensive. Streaming raw video at 720p/60fps burns ~100 Mbps. Processing locally and sending only results drops that to kilobytes. ...
