ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a multiprocessing-based parallel pipeline architecture for robust real-time implementation of multi-target designation and tracking algorithms in embedded environments. While the demand for on-site complex AI vision is surging in advanced industries, real-time processing on resource-constrained embedded systems remains a significant technical challenge. The proposed architecture addresses this by separating pre-processing, inference, and post-processing into independent processes, enabling frame-level parallelism. Furthermore, it efficiently distributes computations across CPU, GPU, and NPU resources to minimize idle time and improve overall throughput. On the Jetson AGX Orin platform, the architecture achieves an 88% improvement in FPS compared to a single-process baseline with stable enhancements in tracking accuracy. In contrast, on a server using the TensorRT runtime, performance gains were limited due to conflicts with its internal optimizations. These findings demonstrate that our architecture enables the on-device implementation of complex vision AI models without high-performance servers, making it a key technology for applications such as precision-guided weapons and autonomous drones.
