Low-Power Image Recognition Challenge (LPIRC) 2017
LPIRC 2017 Competition in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA on 21 July 2017
The third IEEE International Low-Power Image Recognition Challenge (LPIRC) concluded on July 21 in Honolulu, co-located with International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR). The champion is Seoul National University (South Korea). The second prize is KPST and ETRI (South Korea). The third prize goes to Watrix (China).
Two additional teams received special prizes for participation. The first team is Florida International University and University of Maimi; the second team is University of Pittsburgh and LGE.
The 2017 Champion's score is
mAP (mean average precision) | Energy (WH) | Recognized Images | Score (mAP / energy) |
---|---|---|---|
0.24838 | 2.08188 | 19,786 | 0.1193 |
This score is 2.7 time better than the 2016 LPIRC Champion's.
The 2017 LPIRC is sponsored by IEEE Rebooting Computing and IEEE GreenICT.

Main Goal
Detect all relevant objects in as many images as possible of a common test set from the ImageNet object detection data set within 10 minutes.
Scoring System
Final score is the image processing score divided by the energy consumption.
Motivation
Many mobile systems (smartphones, electronic glass, autonomous robots) can capture images. These systems use batteries and energy conservation is essential. This challenge aims to discover the best technology in both image recognition and energy conservation. Winners will be evaluated based on both high recognition accuracy and low power usage.
Image Recognition
Image recognition involves many tasks. This challenge focuses on object detection, a basic routine in many recognition approaches. The following two examples illustrate the task. In the first example, there are two objects: a bird and a frog. In the second example, there are several objects: cars, persons, motorcycle, and a helmet. The training and validation data for LPIRC comes from the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge detection competition. The test data will be specific to LPIRC.
