【Abstract】 A hardware accelerator of object detection algorithm based on FPGA is designed to accelerate the computation of SSD object detection algorithm. Loop tiling and loop unrolling are used to optimize the loops of convolution and pooling, and can be re-configurated in any parallelism. In order to reduce data transmission time,feature maps are reorganized based on AXI, without any hardware resource overhead. After implementing the hardware accelerator to Xilinx ZCU development board, it can accelerate SSD at a performance of 534.72 GOPS,and the inference time is 113.81 ms.更多还原
