Abstract

This paper presents an object detection accelerator that features many-scale (17), many-object (up to 50), multi-class (e.g., face, traffic sign), and high accuracy (average precision of 0.79/0.65 for AFW/BTSD datasets). Employing 10 gradient/color channels, integral features are extracted, and the results of 2,000 simple classifiers for rigid boosted templates are adaptively combined to make a strong classification. By jointly optimizing the algorithm and the hardware architecture, the prototype chip implemented in 65nm CMOS demonstrates real-time object detection of 13-35 frames per second with low power consumption of 22-160mW at 0.58-1.0V supply.
