A Hardware Implementation of a Binary Neural Image Processor
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the work that has resulted in the SAT processor; a dedicated hardware implementation of a binary neural image processor. The SAT processor is aimed speciically at supporting the ADAM algorithm and is currently being integrated into a new version of the C-NNAP parallel image processor. The SAT processor performs binary matrix multiplications, a task that is computation-ally complex for a CPU with a standard instruction set. It can perform the matrix multiplication and thresholding between 100 and 200 times faster than the DSP32C that uses an in-house produced dedicated coprocessor. This speed-up will allow the SAT to process images of up to 220 x 220 pixels at 25-Hz frame rates.

Targets and objects registration and tracking in a sequence of images play an important role in various areas. One of the methods in image registration is feature-based algorithm which is accomplished in two steps. The first step includes finding features of sensed and reference images. In this step, a scale space is used to reduce the sensitivity of detected features to the scale changes. Afterw...
