Researchers have developed H3DNAS, a novel framework for compressing 3D point cloud models specifically for edge hardware like the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. Unlike previous methods, H3DNAS operates directly on ONNX binaries, eliminating the need for original source code or gradient access. The framework introduces a Channel Dependency Graph to establish a theoretical compression ceiling and employs a two-stage hierarchical search with structural mutation for optimization. This approach successfully reduced parameters in PointNet, PointNet++, and PointMLP by up to 65.5% while significantly increasing inference speed with minimal accuracy loss. AI
