MobileDet is an object detection model developed for mobile accelerators. MobileDets uses regular convolutions extensively on EdgeTPUs and DSPs, especially in the early stage of the network where depthwise convolutions tend to be less efficient. This helps boost the latency-accuracy trade-off for object detection on accelerators, provided that they are placed strategically in the network via neural architecture search. By incorporating regular convolutions in the search space and directly optimizing the network architectures for object detection, an efficient family of object detection models is obtained.
