On-tablet object recognition neural network hits 94% F1-score in 20 ms

YADRO has described how it taught its KVADRA_T tablet to detect a person, a document, text, QR codes and barcodes in the same frame at once. Instead of a standard multiclass setup, the team chose a multi-label approach, built a dataset of 193,000 images and reached an F1-score of 94%. Inference on the tablet's NPU takes about 20 ms, and the feature is expected to ship in the next kvadraOS release.

YADRO has developed a neural network that recognizes a person, a document, text, QR codes and barcodes simultaneously on the KVADRA_T tablet, reaching an F1-score of 94% and a processing time of 20 milliseconds directly on the device. The company explains that standard multiclass classification did not fit the task by its very nature: a single image can contain several objects of different types at once, so a multi-label model was needed.

Why doesn't standard classification work for recognizing multiple objects?

A single frame can contain a person, a passport, lines of text and scannable codes at the same time, while classic multiclass classification assumes that an object belongs to only one class. The task calls for a multi-label model, which recognizes all the objects at once.

How does the neural network process data in 20 ms on a tablet without the cloud?

The model is optimized to run directly on the device (on-device inference), which lets it process frames in 20 milliseconds without an internet connection. That is a requirement for practical use on mobile devices.
