In the proposed method, the device uses a small neural network (NN) and filters ambiguous input images by setting two confidence thresholds. These filtered images are then forwarded to the edge server for re-evaluation with a larger NN. Simulation results show that the proposed collaborative inference method, using optimal confidence thresholds, significantly reduces latency while meeting the required accuracy." }
