Latency Budgets for Interactive Computer Vision

Overshoot provides real-time vision inference for live video applications.

A useful latency budget covers the entire path from camera capture to the product action. Include encoding, network transport, queueing, inference, result delivery, and downstream logic. A fast model can still feel slow when another stage dominates.

Measure the path

Timestamp each boundary and review tail latency as well as averages. Define the maximum useful age for every result, keep frame queues bounded, and separate urgent events from analytics that can arrive later.

Test with real cameras, realistic motion, and changing network conditions. The Overshoot documentation contains current integration resources.
