Popis: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained a massive impression in the fields of computer vision and especially in the embedded applications because of their high accuracy and performance. However, high computational complexity and power consumption due to convolution operations causes a high demand for low-power accelerators. A 3D geometric optimization strategy is proposed to alleviate the area and power requirements of Multiply Accumulate operations prevalent in all spatial CNNs. The proposed technique is generic and may be easily scaled for accelerators performing spatial 2D convolution.
