Design of multi type convolution accelerator for image semantic segmentation

Abstract： In order to improve accuracy, image semantic segmentation networks often use complex convolutional layers as the basic feature extraction units. The different types of convolutions present in these convolutional layers increase the difficulty of parallel acceleration computation for the network. A parallel computing accelerator based on FPGA for multi type convolutions is proposed to meet the accelerated computing requirements of different types of convolutions in semantic segmentation networks. Firstly, the calculation principle of convolution is analyzed. Then, based on the basic operation principles of different convolution types, a processing unit for multi multiplication parallel computing is constructed. The convolution is accelerated through multi processing unit parallelism, data reuse, and PIPELINE method. The experimental results show that for specific size feature maps, using the proposed convolutional accelerator design method can achieve a maximum speed increase of 113 times.
