Abstract(in English) A pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) is a feed-forward computation perspective, which is widely used for the embedded systems, requires high power-and-area efficiency. This paper realizes a binarized CNN which treats only binary values (+1/-1) for the inputs, the weights and the activation value. In this case, the multiplier is replaced into an XNOR circuit instead of a dedicated DSP block. Both inputs and weights are more suitable for hardware implementation. However, first convolutional layer still calculates in integer precision, since input value is not binarized one. In this paper, we transform input value into maps of which each pixel is 1 bit precision. The proposed method enables a binarized CNN to use bitwise operation in all layers of convolution. We call this all binarized CNN. We conduct experiment on comparing all binarized CNN, floating-point CNN and binarized CNN. Since all binarized CNN do not need dedicated DSP block, area of all binarized CNN is smaller than that of conventional binarized CNN.
