Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of neural network algorithm hardware implementation, in particular to a convolutional neural network quantization calculation method and system. Background technique

[0002] Convolutional neural networks have shown great advantages in image recognition, object detection, and many machine learning applications. The convolutional neural network is mainly composed of a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, and a fully connected layer cascade. It mainly has the following operations, namely, the convolution operation between the pixel block and the convolution kernel, the activation operation for introducing nonlinearity, The downsampling operation (i.e., pooling) and full connection operation on the feature map to reduce the feature value. Among them, most of the calculations are in the convolutional layer and the fully connected layer.
