Project is about designing a Trained Neural n/w (CIFAR-10 dataset) on FPGA to classify an Image I/P using deep-learning concept(CNN- Convolutional Neural Network).
There are 6 Layers(Sliding Window Convolution, ReLU Activation, Max Pooling, Flattening, Fully Connected and Softmax Activation) which decides the class of our I/P Image. Kernels/Filters are used for feature detection from an Image I/P. Image I/P can be a Greyscale/Colored one.
- Xilinx Vivado v17.4
- Matlab vR2018.a
- Verilog HDL
- Got some basic knowledge about FPGA and its Resources, Vivado 17.4, Matlab R2018a.
- Verilog modules were created(Matrix Multiplication, Generic MUX, Matrix Convolution, ReLU Activation, Max Pooling) using Vivado 17.4.
- Matrix functions were created using Matlab R2018a for reference purpose and matching results.
- A Grey-scale Image was considered first (Took a Colored Image(3D Matrix) and Converted to Greyscale Image(2D Matrix) using Matlab) and compared results for both (Verilog modules & Matlab functions) for Matrix Multiplication and ReLU Activation. Results were matching.
