What Is Edge AI?
Running intelligence on the device: latency, privacy, and when the edge is the right call.
Computer Vision vs Perception
Detection is a capability; perception is a system. Where the line sits and why it matters.

Why this knowledge base exists
Unlike a traditional blog, these articles are designed to remain useful long after publication. They explain the engineering principles behind perception systems, document architectural decisions, and explore the tradeoffs involved in building reliable edge-first software. As ManasaView evolves, this library will continue to expand with new benchmarks, implementation notes, and practical guides.
