Modern mobile neural networks with a reduced number of weights and parameters do a good job with image classification tasks, but even they may be too complex to be implemented in an FPGA for video processing tasks. The article proposes neural network architecture for the practical task of recognizing images from a camera, which has several advantages in terms of speed. This is achieved by reducing the number of weights, moving from a floating-point to a fixed-point arithmetic, and due to a number of hardware-level optimizations associated with storing weights in blocks, a shift register, and an adjustable number of convolutional blocks that work in parallel. The article also proposed methods for adapting the existing data set for solving a different task. As the experiments showed, the proposed neural network copes well with real-time video processing even on the cheap FPGAs.

In this paper, we develop a binary convolutional encoder-decoder network (B-CEDNet) for natural scene text processing (NSTP). It converts a text image to a class-distinguished salience map that reveals the categorical, spatial and morphological infor
mation of characters. The existing solutions are either memory consuming or run-time consuming that cannot be applied to real-time applications on resource-constrained devices such as advanced driver assistance systems. The developed network can process multiple regions containing characters by one-off forward operation, and is trained to have binary weights and binary feature maps, which lead to both remarkable inference run-time speedup and memory usage reduction. By training with over 200, 000 synthesis scene text images (size of $32times128$), it can achieve $90%$ and $91%$ pixel-wise accuracy on ICDAR-03 and ICDAR-13 datasets. It only consumes $4.59 ms$ inference run-time realized on GPU with a small network size of 2.14 MB, which is up to $8times$ faster and $96%$ smaller than it full-precision version.
Predicting depth from a single image is an attractive research topic since it provides one more dimension of information to enable machines to better perceive the world. Recently, deep learning has emerged as an effective approach to monocular depth
estimation. As obtaining labeled data is costly, there is a recent trend to move from supervised learning to unsupervised learning to obtain monocular depth. However, most unsupervised learning methods capable of achieving high depth prediction accuracy will require a deep network architecture which will be too heavy and complex to run on embedded devices with limited storage and memory spaces. To address this issue, we propose a new powerful network with a recurrent module to achieve the capability of a deep network while at the same time maintaining an extremely lightweight size for real-time high performance unsupervised monocular depth prediction from video sequences. Besides, a novel efficient upsample block is proposed to fuse the features from the associated encoder layer and recover the spatial size of features with the small number of model parameters. We validate the effectiveness of our approach via extensive experiments on the KITTI dataset. Our new model can run at a speed of about 110 frames per second (fps) on a single GPU, 37 fps on a single CPU, and 2 fps on a Raspberry Pi 3. Moreover, it achieves higher depth accuracy with nearly 33 times fewer model parameters than state-of-the-art models. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first extremely lightweight neural network trained on monocular video sequences for real-time unsupervised monocular depth estimation, which opens up the possibility of implementing deep learning-based real-time unsupervised monocular depth prediction on low-cost embedded devices.
Point cloud analysis is very challenging, as the shape implied in irregular points is difficult to capture. In this paper, we propose RS-CNN, namely, Relation-Shape Convolutional Neural Network, which extends regular grid CNN to irregular configurati
on for point cloud analysis. The key to RS-CNN is learning from relation, i.e., the geometric topology constraint among points. Specifically, the convolutional weight for local point set is forced to learn a high-level relation expression from predefined geometric priors, between a sampled point from this point set and the others. In this way, an inductive local representation with explicit reasoning about the spatial layout of points can be obtained, which leads to much shape awareness and robustness. With this convolution as a basic operator, RS-CNN, a hierarchical architecture can be developed to achieve contextual shape-aware learning for point cloud analysis. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks across three tasks verify RS-CNN achieves the state of the arts.
We propose a principled convolutional neural pyramid (CNP) framework for general low-level vision and image processing tasks. It is based on the essential finding that many applications require large receptive fields for structure understanding. But
corresponding neural networks for regression either stack many layers or apply large kernels to achieve it, which is computationally very costly. Our pyramid structure can greatly enlarge the field while not sacrificing computation efficiency. Extra benefit includes adaptive network depth and progressive upsampling for quasi-realtime testing on VGA-size input. Our method profits a broad set of applications, such as depth/RGB image restoration, completion, noise/artifact removal, edge refinement, image filtering, image enhancement and colorization.
The collection of a lot of personal information about individuals, including the minor members of a family, by closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras creates a lot of privacy concerns. Particularly, revealing childrens identifications or activities
may compromise their well-being. In this paper, we investigate lightweight solutions that are affordable to edge surveillance systems, which is made feasible and accurate to identify minors such that appropriate privacy-preserving measures can be applied accordingly. State of the art deep learning architectures are modified and re-purposed in a cascaded fashion to maximize the accuracy of our model. A pipeline extracts faces from the input frames and classifies each one to be of an adult or a child. Over 20,000 labeled sample points are used for classification. We explore the timing and resources needed for such a model to be used in the Edge-Fog architecture at the edge of the network, where we can achieve near real-time performance on the CPU. Quantitative experimental results show the superiority of our proposed model with an accuracy of 92.1% in classification compared to some other face recognition based child detection approaches.
