FPGAs have proven to be a compelling solution for solving deep learning problems, particularly when applied to image recognition. The advantage of using FPGAs for deep learning is primarily derived from several factors: their massively parallel architectures, efficient DSP resources, and large amounts of on-chip memory and bandwidth. An illustration of a typical FPGA architecture

Neural networks enable the identification of objects in still and video images with impressive speed and accuracy after an initial training phase. This so-called "deep learning" has been enabled by the combination of the evolution of traditional neural network techniques, with one latest-incarnation example known as a CNN (convolutional neural network), by the steadily increasing

This article was originally published by Embedded Vision Alliance consultant Dave Tokic. It is reprinted here with Tokic's permission. It seems to me that hardly a day goes by without some mention of self-driving cars (mostly good, some tragic), drones that follow you to record your ski run, augmented and virtual reality goggles that immerse
The substantial parallel processing resources available in modern graphics processors makes them a natural choice for implementing vision-processing functions. The rapidly maturing OpenCL framework enables the rapid and efficient development of programs that execute across GPUs and other heterogeneous processing elements within a system. In this article, we briefly review parallelism in computer vision applications,
