CAREER: Enabling Seamless Vision Sensing in Cloud-Edge Systems

智能手机等移动设备改变了我们的日常生活。随着智能手机以及“智能眼镜”等可穿戴设备功能的增长，未来十年有望在增强现实、改进的上下文感知和更无缝的计算方面提供更丰富的功能，这些功能将融入我们的日常生活。然而，视觉传感应用程序是高度资源和能源密集型的，这是由对用户环境的更好理解推动的，减少了有用的操作时间。该项目将通过提供一个编程框架来支持这类应用程序的设计，该编程框架允许未来的应用程序无缝地利用云计算，为用户提供预期应用程序的良好服务质量，同时消除程序员关于应该在哪里进行计算的推理负担。该项目包括整合教育研究、扩大参与和教育外展的计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Mobile devices such as smartphones have changed our daily lives. With the growth in the capabilities of smartphones as well as wearables such as "smart glasses", the next decade promises richer capabilities in terms of augmented reality, improved contextual sensing and more seamless computing that will integrate into our day-to-day lives. However, vision sensing applications, which are fueled by the improved understanding of user context, are highly resource and energy intensive, reducing useful operation time.This project will enable the design of such applications by providing a programming framework that allows future applications to leverage cloud computation seamlessly, to provide the user with a good quality of service for the intended application while removing from programmers the burden of reasoning about where the computation should happen. The project includes plans for integration of research in education, broadening participation, and educational outreach.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
