Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of deep learning and convolutional neural network hardware accelerators, and in particular relates to an FPGA-based YOLOv2-tiny neural network low-latency hardware accelerator implementation method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a major breakthrough has been made in the field of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which has greatly improved the performance of CNN-based object detection algorithms. Classification challenge results from the PASCAL VOC dataset demonstrate that since 2007, the mean average precision (Mean Average Precision, mAP) of object detection algorithms has increased from 20% to 85%. The excellent performance of object detection algorithms makes them widely used in automated systems, such as robots, autonomous driving, and drones. [0003] However, the high accuracy of the target detection algorithm is accompanied by the problem of high computational complexity. If the CP...
