contents As Earth-observation workloads move toward onboard and edge processing, remote-sensing segmentation models must operate under tight latency and energy constraints. We present SatReg, a regression-based hardware-aware tuning framework for lightweight remote-sensing segmentation on edge platforms. Using CM-UNet as the teacher architecture, we reduce the search space to two dominant width-related variables, profile a small set of student models on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, and fit low-order surrogate models for mIoU, latency, and power. Knowledge distillation is used to efficiently train the sampled students. The learned surrogates enable fast selection of near-optimal architecture settings for deployment targets without exhaustive search. Results show that the selected variables affect task accuracy and hardware cost differently, making reduced-space regression a practical strategy for adapting hybrid CNN-Mamba segmentation models to future space-edge systems.
