MicroViTv2: Beyond the FLOPS for Edge Energy-Friendly Vision Transformers
The Vision Transformer (ViT) achieves remarkable accuracy across visual tasks but remains computationally expensive for edge deployment. This paper presents MicroViTv2, a lightweight Vision Transformer optimized for real-device efficiency. Built upon the original MicroViT, the proposed model is designed based on reparameterized design, specifically Reparameterized Patch Embedding (RepEmbed) and Reparameterized Depth-Wise convolution mixer (RepDW) for faster inference, and introduces the Single Depth-Wise Transposed Attention (SDTA) to capture long-range dependencies with minimal redundancy. Despite slightly higher FLOPs, MicroViTv2 improves accuracy up to 0.5% compared to its predecessor and surpassing MobileViTv2, EdgeNeXt, and EfficientViT while maintaining fast inference and high energy efficiency on Jetson AGX Orin. Experiments on ImageNet-1K and COCO demonstrate that hardware-aware design and structural re-parameterization are key to achieving high accuracy and low energy consumption, validating the need to evaluate efficiency beyond FLOPs.
