ABSTRACT

Neuromorphic architecture is drawing attention as a next-generation computing that supports artificial intelligence technology with low energy. However, FPGA embedded boards based on Neuromorphic architecturehave limited resources due to size and power. In this paper, we compared and evaluated the image reduction method using the interpolation method that rescales the size without considering the feature points and the DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) method that preserves the feature points as much as possible based on energy. The scaled images were compared and analyzed for accuracy through CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) in a PC environment and in the Nengo framework of an FPGA embedded board.. As a result of the experiment, DCT based classification showed about 1.9% higher performance than that of interpolation representation in both CNN and FPGA nengo environments. Based on the experimental results, when the DCT method is used in a limited resource environment such as an embedded board, a lot of resources are allocated to the expression of neurons used for classification, and the recognition rate is expected to increase.
