Deep neural networks virtually dominate the domain of most modern vision systems, providing high performance at a cost of increased computational complexity. Since for those systems it is often required to operate both in real-time and with minimal energy consumption (e.g., for wearable devices or autonomous vehicles, edge Internet of Things (IoT), sensor networks), various network optimisation techniques are used, e.g., quantisation, pruning, or dedicated lightweight architectures. Due to the logarithmic distribution of weights in neural network layers, a method providing high performance with significant reduction in computational precision (for 4-bit weights and less) is the Power-of-Two (PoT) quantisation (and therefore also with a logarithmic distribution). This method introduces additional possibilities of replacing the typical for neural networks Multiply and ACcumulate (MAC – performing, e.g., convolution operations) units, with more energy-efficient Bitshift and ACcumulate (BAC). In this paper, we show that a hardware neural network accelerator with PoT weights implemented on the Zynq UltraScale + MPSoC ZCU104 SoC FPGA can be at least 1.4x more energy efficient than the uniform quantisation version. To further reduce the actual power requirement by omitting part of the computation for zero weights, we also propose a new pruning method adapted to logarithmic quantisation. © 2022, CC BY.

This paper presents a system for hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control algorithms implemented on a heterogeneous SoC FPGA computing platforms. The AirSim simulator running on a PC and an Arty Z7 development board with a Zynq SoC chip from AMD Xilinx were used. Communication was carried out via a serial USB link. An application for autonomous landing on a specially marked landing strip was selected as a case study. A landing site detection algorithm was implemented on the Zynq SoC platform. This allowed processing a 1280 × 720 @ 60 fps video stream in real time. Performed tests showed that the system works correctly and there are no delays that could negatively affect the stability of the control. The proposed concept is characterised by relative simplicity and low implementation cost. At the same time, it can be applied to test various types of high-level perception and control algorithms for UAV implemented on embedded platforms. We provide the code developed on GitHub, which includes both Python scripts running on the PC and C code running on Arty Z7. © 2022, CC BY.

Siamese trackers have been among the state-of-the-art solutions in each Visual Object Tracking (VOT) challenge over the past few years. However, with great accuracy comes great computational complexity: to achieve real-time processing, these trackers have to be massively parallelised and are usually run on high-end GPUs. Easy to implement, this approach is energy consuming, and thus cannot be used in many low-power applications. To overcome this, one can use energy-efficient embedded devices, such as heterogeneous platforms joining the ARM processor system with programmable logic (FPGA). In this work, we propose a hardware-software implementation of the well-known fully connected Siamese tracker (SiamFC). We have developed a quantised Siamese network for the FINN accelerator, using algorithm-accelerator co-design, and performed design space exploration to achieve the best efficiency-to-energy ratio (determined by FPS and used resources). For our network, running in the programmable logic part of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU104, we achieved the processing of almost 50 frames-per-second with tracker accuracy on par with its floating point counterpart, as well as the original SiamFC network. The complete tracking system, implemented in ARM with the network accelerated on FPGA, achieves up to 17 fps. These results bring us towards bridging the gap between the highly accurate but energy-demanding algorithms and energy-efficient solutions ready to be used in low-power, edge systems. © 2022, CC BY.

In this work, the implementation of a playing cards and bidding calls detection system for the automatic registration of a duplicate bridge game is presented. For this purpose, two YOLOv4 deep convolutional neural networks were used. During the training process, which was carried out using an automatically generated dataset, we obtained a detector characterised by more than 99.9% accuracy on the test set. The prepared system has been evaluated on videos collected during bridge competitions and is characterised by high accuracy. The application has been implemented and evaluated on a CPU and an embedded GPU. © 2022, CC BY.

Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) are an emerging technology that can be used in many applications including computer vision. In this paper, we presented a traffic sign classification system implemented using a hybrid quantum-classical convolutional neural network. Experiments on the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark dataset indicate that currently QNN do not outperform classical DCNN (Deep Convolutuional Neural Networks), yet still provide an accuracy of over 90% and are a definitely promising solution for advanced computer vision. © 2022, CC BY.

Skin cancer diagnosis, a critical task in the medical domain, can be revolutionized through the application of advanced deep-learning techniques. This work investigates the efficacy of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in the automated classification of skin cancer. The process begins with a comprehensive explanation of key CNN layers: Conv2D, MaxPool2D, Dropout, and Dense. The Conv2D layers employ learnable filters that transform localized image segments, while MaxPool2D contributes to downsampling, effectively reducing computational cost and overfitting risk. Integrating these layers enables the network to capture local and global characteristics, which is crucial for accurate classification. Adding Dropout layers enhances generalization and mitigates overfitting by introducing randomness during training. ReLU activation functions infuse non-linearity, and the Flatten layer facilitates the transition to fully connected layers. The proposed CNN architecture is meticulously designed considering filter counts, kernel sizes, and pooling dimensions. The trained model demonstrates promising performance by utilizing the HAM10000 dataset, encompassing diverse skin lesion images across seven classes. The CNN model’s parameters and architecture are systematically presented, offering insights into its design rationale. The model undergoes optimization with the Adam optimizer and annealing techniques to facilitate convergence. The model’s effectiveness is evaluated on validation and test datasets, demonstrating an accuracy of 78.55% and 76.49%, respectively, for skin cancer classification. Data augmentation strategies are introduced to enhance model generalization further. The results underscore CNN’s potential as a robust tool for automating skin cancer diagnosis, aligning with the broader trend of leveraging deep learning for medical image analysis
