SOC Design of a Neural Network for Real-Time Semantic Segmentation of 2Kx1K@60fps Video
Download SlidesAbstract
Semantic segmentation of real-time high-resolution video is a key to autonomous driving and other image understanding tasks. We present a new convolutional neural network architecture. It requires less DRAM traffic compared with previous work. Trainined with the CityScapes dataset, the network achieves real-time inference using a high-end GPGPU. To implement it in single chip SOC, we present a novel hierarchical architecture for both processor array and memory blocks.
