Lightweight Image Classification of Raptor Species for Edge Devices: Rare-Species Dataset Expansion via Video Frame Extraction, Knowledge Distillation, and TensorRT Deployment
arXiv:2607.26238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate lightweight raptor-species classification for real-time edge deployment in wind-turbine collision mitigation. Using DINOv2-L (304M parameters) as a teacher, we distilled three lightweight students (MobileNetV4, ViT-Small, and EfficientNet-B0). To reduce con
