Object Classification Reference Design

CNN accelerated object classification using Low Power Lattice FPGAs

The reference design provides examples for implementing machine-learning based object classification to edge devices applications. The reference design provides low power, CNN-based acceleration of the classification algorithm.

The complete design examples running on popular Lattice development boards (including FPGA RTL) include Neural Network Models and sample training datasets and scripts to recreate and update the example as needed. Same examples are provided through sensAI Studio.

Video Streaming Analysis in Avant-E platform – Able to see detection boxes. The Green boxes detect vehicles whereas Blue ones detect Person.

CertusPro-NX MobileNet Object Classification – Implements generic object classification base design using the CertusPro™-NX platform.

CrossLink-NX Auto ML based Object Classification – Implements neural network for Handgesture detection application using AutoKeras.

Features

  • Fast prototyping of solution and transfer learning to create additional use cases
  • Reference design includes all components needed to replicate the design
  • Lattice FPGA handles downscaling of image data received from the image sensor, NN processing and basic ISP functionality
