TinyFlow: Breaking the Warping Bottleneck for Edge Optical Flow
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2610.33338v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-performance optical flow networks are difficult to deploy on resource-constrained edge accelerators because their iterative refinement warps features by the current flow, which relies on flow-dependent resampling and data-dependent memory access. We present TinyFlow, a 1.26M-parameter warp-free optical flow network that preserves iterative coarse-to-fine refinement by replacing the warp with a fixed-window correlation over constant offsets, so the whole network compiles as a single static INT8 graph. Quantization-aware fine-tuning, warp-teacher distillation, and model souping reduce the Float32-to-INT8 penalty to below 0.2 end-point error (EPE) on MPI-Sintel. TinyFlow outperforms EdgeFlowNet and NanoFlowNet on Sintel Clean, Sintel Final, and FlyingChairs in both Float32 and INT8, while using 54% fewer parameters than EdgeFlowNet, and our INT8 model achieves 6.29/7.13 EPE on Sintel Clean/Final. In flow-only monocular visual odometry on TartanAir and UZH-FPV, the same INT8 model yields the lowest trajectory error on seven of eleven sequences.
