Abstract

We propose TinyEmergencyNet, an ultra-lightweight convolutional neural network designed for real-time aerial scene classification on resource-constrained hardware. The architecture achieves competitive accuracy with a fraction of the parameters and multiply-accumulate operations of standard models, making it suitable for deployment on embedded and FPGA platforms.
