OCR System Optimization Roadmap

Executive Summary

This document outlines a comprehensive optimization strategy for the ruvector-scipix OCR system, targeting progressive performance improvements from baseline (1000ms/image) to production-ready (50ms/image) latency.

Target Performance Metrics:

  • Phase 1 (Baseline): 1000ms/image, 80% CPU utilization
  • Phase 2 (Optimized): 100ms/image, 60% CPU utilization, 10x throughput improvement
  • Phase 3 (Production): 50ms/image, 40% CPU utilization, 20x throughput improvement

1. Model Optimization

1.1 ONNX Model Quantization

Objective: Reduce model size and inference time while maintaining accuracy.

FP16 (Half-Precision) Quantization

// Expected Improvement: 2x speed, 50% memory reduction, <1% accuracy loss

use ort::quantization::{QuantizationConfig, QuantizationType};

pub struct ModelOptimizer {
    quantization_config: QuantizationConfig,
}

impl ModelOptimizer {
    pub fn quantize_fp16(model_path: &str) -> Result<String> {
        let config = QuantizationConfig::new()
            .with_quantization_type(QuantizationType::FP16)
            .with_per_channel(true)
            .with_reduce_range(false);

        let output_path = model_path.replace(".onnx", "_fp16.onnx");
        ort::quantization::quantize(model_path, &output_path, config)?;

        Ok(output_path)
    }
}

Expected Results:

  • Model size: 500MB → 250MB (50% reduction)
  • Inference time: 1000ms → 500ms (2x speedup)
  • Accuracy degradation: <1%
  • Memory usage: 50% reduction

pub fn quantize_int8_dynamic(model_path: &str) -> Result<String> {
    let config = QuantizationConfig::new()
        .with_quantization_type(QuantizationType::DynamicINT8)
        .with_per_channel(true)
        .with_optimize_model(true);

    let output_path = model_path.replace(".onnx", "_int8.onnx");
    ort::quantization::quantize(model_path, &output_path, config)?;

    Ok(output_path)
}

pub fn quantize_int8_static(
    model_path: &str,
    calibration_dataset: &[Tensor],
) -> Result<String> {
    let config = QuantizationConfig::new()
        .with_quantization_type(QuantizationType::StaticINT8)
        .with_calibration_method(CalibrationMethod::MinMax)
        .with_per_channel(true);

    let output_path = model_path.replace(".onnx", "_int8_static.onnx");

    // Calibrate using representative dataset
    let calibrator = Calibrator::new(config, calibration_dataset);
    calibrator.quantize(model_path, &output_path)?;

    Ok(output_path)
}

Expected Results:

  • Model size: 500MB → 125MB (75% reduction)
  • Inference time: 1000ms → 250ms (4x speedup)
  • Accuracy degradation: 2-5%

pub struct ModelPruner {
    sparsity_target: f32,
    pruning_method: PruningMethod,
}

pub enum PruningMethod {
    MagnitudeBased,      // Remove smallest weights
    StructuredPruning,   // Remove entire neurons/filters
    GradientBased,       // Remove low-gradient weights
}

impl ModelPruner {
    pub fn prune_magnitude_based(&self, model: &Model, threshold: f32) -> Model {
        // 1. Analyze weight magnitudes
        let weight_analysis = self.analyze_weight_importance(model);

        // 2. Apply sparsity threshold
        let pruned_weights = weight_analysis
            .iter()
            .map(|(layer, weights)| {
                weights.iter().map(|w| {
                    if w.abs() < threshold { 0.0 } else { *w }
                }).collect()
            })
            .collect();

        // 3. Reconstruct model
        self.rebuild_model(model, pruned_weights)
    }

    pub fn structured_pruning(&self, model: &Model, prune_ratio: f32) -> Model {
        // Remove entire filter channels based on importance scores
        let channel_importance = self.compute_channel_importance(model);

        // Sort and prune least important channels
        let channels_to_prune = self.select_channels_to_prune(
            channel_importance,
            prune_ratio
        );

        self.remove_channels(model, channels_to_prune)
    }

        let mut student = self.student_model.clone();

        for batch in training_data {

            let teacher_output = self.teacher_model
                .forward(&batch.images)
                .await?

            // Get student predictions
            let student_output = student.forward(&batch.images).await?;

            // Compute distillation loss
            let soft_loss = kl_divergence(
                &student_output.apply_temperature(self.temperature),
                &teacher_output
            );

            let hard_loss = cross_entropy(
                &student_output,
                &batch.labels
            );

            let loss = self.alpha * soft_loss + (1.0 - self.alpha) * hard_loss;

            // Backpropagation and optimization
            loss.backward();
            student.optimize();
        }

        Ok(student)
    }
}

// Example architecture reduction
pub fn create_distilled_model() -> StudentModel {
    StudentModel::new()
        .with_encoder_layers(6)     // vs 12 in teacher
        .with_hidden_size(384)      // vs 768 in teacher

3. Memory Optimization

3.1 Memory-Mapped Model Loading

Objective: Reduce memory footprint and enable instant model loading.

// Expected Improvement: 90% memory reduction, instant loading

use memmap2::MmapOptions;
use std::fs::File;

pub struct MemoryMappedModel {
    mmap: Mmap,
    metadata: ModelMetadata,
}

impl MemoryMappedModel {
    pub fn load(model_path: &str) -> Result<Self> {
        // 1. Open file
        let file = File::open(model_path)?;

        // 2. Create memory-mapped region
        let mmap = unsafe {

        // Inference operates directly on memory-mapped data

    }

    pub fn restore(&mut self) {
        // Restore to previous checkpoint (free all allocations since)
        if let Some(position) = self.checkpoints.pop() {
            self.allocator.reset_to(position);
        }
    }

    pub fn reset(&mut self) {
        // Reset entire arena
        self.allocator.reset();
        self.checkpoints.clear();
    }
}

// Usage in inference pipeline
impl InferenceEngine {
    pub async fn infer_with_arena(&self, input: &Tensor) -> Result<Tensor> {

        // All intermediate tensors allocated from arena
        let preprocessed = self.preprocess_to_arena(input, &mut arena);
        let features = self.extract_features_to_arena(&preprocessed, &mut arena);

        // Clone final output (arena will be freed)
        let result = output.to_owned();

        arena.restore(); // Free all intermediate allocations

        Ok(result)
    }

  • Allocation time: 50ms → 1ms (50x improvement)
  • Memory fragmentation: Eliminated
  • Cache locality: Improved

Conclusion

This optimization roadmap provides a systematic approach to improving the ruvector-scipix OCR system from baseline (1000ms/image) to production-ready (50ms/image) performance. The three-phase approach ensures:

  1. Quick Wins (Phase 1): Foundation with basic optimizations
  2. Substantial Improvements (Phase 2): 10x speedup through parallelization and quantization
  3. Production Excellence (Phase 3): 20x speedup with advanced techniques

Key Success Factors:

  • Prioritize high-impact optimizations first
  • Maintain accuracy within 5% degradation
  • Benchmark continuously
  • Monitor production metrics
  • Iterate based on real-world usage

Expected ROI:

  • Performance: 20x faster inference
  • Cost: 75% reduction in compute costs
  • User Experience: Sub-100ms latency
  • Scalability: 30x throughput improvement

Implementation should follow agile methodology with 2-week sprints, continuous integration, and regular performance regression testing.
