Panopticus aims to maximize detection accuracy while meeting the latency objective with a given edge device. Figure 6 illustrates the system architecture of Panopticus. To accommodate camera views with varying inference requirements, we propose an omnidirectional 3D detection model equipped with multiple inference branches. Each branch comprises different modules from BEV-based 3D detectors, providing flexibility in processing each camera view with distinct detection capabilities. The model architecture can be modified by simply detaching the branch modules to meet the diverse requirements accounting for latency and device. In the offline stage, runtime characteristics such as inference latency are profiled for each branch. Modules within a heavy branch that exceed latency or memory constraints are removed. At runtime, each of 𝑁 multi-view images at time 𝑡 is processed by the proper branch to generate accurate 3D bounding boxes. The optimal selection of branch and image combinations is determined by a spatial-adaptive execution scheduler. The scheduler estimates the expected accuracy and inference time for each branch-image pair, based on the predicted spatial distribution for the incoming frame. Then, the optimal 𝑁 image-branch pairs are selected, which maximizes overall accuracy while ensuring the total predicted latency is within the target latency. The detected boxes are used to update the tracked status of the surrounding objects, allowing the continuous observation of spatial characteristics. Authors:
