Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper presents a FPGA accelerator design for a real-time object detection algorithm using MASSD (Multi-Scale Attention SSD), which incorporates a self-attention mechanism in SSD (Single Shot Detector).The FPGA accelerator employs dynamic quantization method to decrease resource utilization while maintaining computational accuracy. Autonomous data transfer mechanism in the accelerator increases the utilization of the computational unit by reducing DRAM access. The developed FPGA system successfully operates at 10 FPS with 512x512 input images.
