Low-Power Image Recognition Challenge

Energy is limited in mobile systems, however, so for this possibility to become a viable opportunity, energy usage must be conservative. The Low-Power Image Recognition Challenge (LPIRC) is the only competition integrating image recognition with low power. LPIRC has been held annually since 2015 as an on-site competition. To encourage innovation, LPIRC has no restriction on hardware or software platforms: the only requirement is that a solution be able to use HTTP to communicate with the referee system to retrieve images and report answers. Each team has 10 minutes to recognize the objects in 5,000 (year 2015) or 20,000 (years 2016 and 2017) images.
