Abstract

In this paper we present a scalable hardware architecture to implement large-scale convolutional neural networks and state-of-the-art multi-layered artificial vision systems. This system is fully digital and is a modular vision engine with the goal of performing real-time detection, recognition and segmentation of mega-pixel images. We present a performance comparison between a software, FPGA and ASIC implementation that shows a speed up in custom hardware implementations.
