This research investigates the implementation of Kolmogorov–Arnold networks (KANs) for image processing in resource-constrained IoTs devices. KANs represent a novel neural network architecture that offers significant advantages over traditional deep learning approaches, particularly in applications where computational resources are limited. Our study demonstrates the efficiency of KAN-based solutions for image analysis tasks in IoTs environments, providing comparative performance metrics against conventional convolutional neural networks. The experimental results indicate substantial improvements in processing speed and memory utilization while maintaining competitive accuracy. This work contributes to the advancement of AI-driven IoTs applications by proposing optimized KAN-based implementations suitable for edge computing scenarios. The findings have important implications for IoTs deployment in smart infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation where efficient image processing is critical.
