Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Convolutional neural networks have high recognition accuracy in computer vision task, and many of the learned filters are known to be similar to gabor filters. For the purpose of constructing a model that is robust to the orientation and scale of the input image, a method that uses a gabor filter for convolution processing has already been proposed. Also, a channel shift appoximation has been proposed. In this paper, we compare a light-weight convolution toward a dedicated CNN accelerator. This paper proposes a design method for FPGAs that performs computations with lower power consumption and lower latency than GPUs for device applications. Since we reuse the batch normalization circuit, there is no computational resource overhead for convolution operations using Gabor filters. We implement the proposed CNN on ZCU104 evaluation board by using Xilinx SDSoC 2018.2.2 and CamVid dataset. The experimental results show that there is no increase of FPGA area with 1.3 point better accuracy (mIoU) compared to a conventional MobileNet.
