Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are a neuromimetic computational architecture that has attracted much attention in recent years for its low power consumption in edge devices, and is expected to be applied to onboard processing of spacecrafts. SNNs have a higher coding capability in the time domain than artificial neural networks (ANNs) because each neuron can retain its own dynamic properties. In this study, we propose a method to improve the spatio-temporal coding performance by adding a gate with convolutional structure to the spiking neural unit proposed by Wozniak. We also present the results of the verification of the effectiveness and power consumption of the method, using the obstacle detection in the landing of a spacecraft as an example.
