What Input Resolution Is Required for Bird Species Identification, and What Is Its Latency Cost on an Edge Device? A Study of 14 Input Resolutions and Six Architectures with On-Device Measurements

Bird-strike mitigation at wind farms requires identifying distant birds that span only tens of pixels, so the classifier's input resolution N is a design variable, not a fixed specification. We study it with a factorial design over 14 side lengths N (16 to 224), six architectures, two training and e
