Cool demo but I still wonder if fundamentally this is just a brute-force approach. Wouldn't it be better to do some traditional preprocessing (e.g. recognizing rectangles, circles, etc.) and feeding higher-level descriptors into the classifier? If the net learns based on pixels you still have to somehow solve rotation and scale invariance. Or is there something new in deep-learning vs. old-school neural nets that fix…
I think they used the methods described in http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~rbg/papers/r-cnn-cvpr.pdf

#23@10:08 on the right merc sls classified as SUV on the left one SUV classified as two VANs Their algorithm works at about 1Hz rate when doing signs. This is ~state of the art from 20 years ago, but running on small mobile SoC at a slow rate.
Please show a paper where fine-grained vehicle classification in unconstrained images is anywhere near this performance from 20 years ago. You will not be able to, because it wasn't.

From what i can understand what's even more impressive is that it was running on a beefed up version of their latest mobile SOC and not on some 5000$ compute GPU card. Which means that this application can be both very affordable and very practical since people won't put a 300W GPU in their car.
Yeah those numbers aren't particularly accurate. GTX 980, which costs about $600, has 2048 cuda cores and 5 tflops peak, with 150 watts consumption.
