Audience Meter: a Use Case of Deploying Machine Learning Algorithms over 5G Networks with MEC
04 January 2020
Audience Meter is an application that estimates the number of attendees in an event throughout the time by applying a state-of-the-art face detection algorithm. In order to detect faces at large distances, high resolution images are required. This makes unfeasible the computation of the algorithm on the device and requires the use of MEC modules from the emerging 5G networks to boost performance. An average boost factor of 10x is achieved by using MEC in comparison with CPU devices for high resolution images.
