Abstract

Power efficiency is becoming a critical aspect of IoT devices. In this paper, we present a compact object-detection coprocessor with multiple cores for multi-scale/type classification. This coprocessor is capable to process scalable block size for multi-shape detection-window and can be compatible with the frame-image sizes up to 2048 × 2048 for multi-scale classification. A memory-reuse strategy that requires only one dual-port SRAM for storing the feature-vector of one-row blocks is developed to save memory usage. Eventually, a prototype platform is implemented on the Intel DE4 development board with the Stratix IV device. The power consumption of each core in FPGA is only 80.98 mW.

  • Real-time processing ability is required by multiple tasks such as auto-drive, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, security systems, and so on

  • We propose a multi-core object detection coprocessor for multi-scale/type classification considering the speed-power-accuracy tradeoff within the Histogram of Orientated Gradient (HOG) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) framework as shown in is suitable for vehicle detection
