  • Patent number: 12664773
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to cloud model orchestration of constrained-environment-device data. In one example of the technology, on a first distributed system, on-cloud models are stored. For each on-cloud model, a corresponding set of reference embeddings is stored. Images obtained from sensors onboard at least one constrained-environment device that is external to the first distributed system are received. Image tiles are stored such that the image tiles include, for each image, evenly-spaced portions of the image. Image embeddings generated via an embedding-generation model from the image tiles are stored. A request that is associated with a first model of the on-cloud models is received. Using the set of reference embeddings for the first model and the image embeddings, for each image tile, whether the first model should be executed on the image tile is determined. The first model is executed on the determined image tiles.
