## Abstract (arXiv)

Real-time anomaly segmentation is essential for the safety of autonomous systems. Although recent approaches offer high accuracy, their computational cost limits their deployment on embedded hardware. This work presents an efficient and accelerated pipeline designed for both embedded and desktop platforms, targeting the autonomous driving and railway domains. The proposed approach reformulates the Neyman-Pearson scoring stage of PixOOD, a state-of-the-art out-of-distribution detection method, and deploys the full pipeline through hardware-optimized TensorRT compilation, reaching up to 182 FPS on a desktop NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU and 75 FPS on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin embedded platform, respectively 20x and 18x faster than the original baseline. The achieved results demonstrate that advanced anomaly segmentation can be efficiently deployed for onboard processing in autonomous driving and railway applications.
