Autonomous driving is a safety-critical application that requires a high-level understanding of computer vision with real-time inference. In this study, we focus on the computational efficiency of an important factor by improving the running time and performing multiple tasks simultaneously for practical applications. We propose a fast and accurate multi-task learning-based architecture for joint segmentation of drivable area, lane line, and classification of the scene. An encoder-decoder architecture efficiently handles input frames through shared representation. A comprehensive understanding of the driving environment is improved by generalization and regularization from different tasks. The proposed method learns end-to-end through multi-task learning on a very challenging Berkeley Deep Drive dataset and shows its robustness for three tasks in autonomous driving. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other multi-task learning approaches in both speed and accuracy. The computational efficiency of the method was over 93.81 fps at inference, enabling execution in real-time.

Abstract This work presents an Internet of Things (IoT) system and edge computing for monitoring crop conditions by developing a system to collect information on parameters related to the crop weather conditions, this data is recollected with edge computing system. The data is sent to the server for processing, then forwarded to the user via the IoT protocols and procedures. The purpose is to collect data in real time for analysis and allow decision-making by the system and the farmer. The user can interact with the system remotely and receive the specified alerts and conditions. The initial results show that the system provides complete information on the status of the parameters, enabling management of greenhouse crops.
