Abstract
Technologies for edge device object recognition include a server and one or more edge devices in communication over a network. The server maintains an object recognition database that stores images associated with a plurality of objects. The server identifies a subset of the objects that is expected to be recognized by each of the edge devices and generates a reduced object recognition database for each edge device that includes the corresponding subset of images. Each edge device monitors for device events and, in response to a device event, performs object recognition using the corresponding reduced object recognition database. The edge device may transmit thumbnail images of unrecognized objects to the server. The edge device may be coupled to a product storage device such as a cooler or retail shelf, and device events may include sensor events such as door open or door closed events. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
