Sažetak
In an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) a large number of highly interconnected simple nonlinear processing units work in parallel to solve a specific problem. Parallelism, modularity and dynamic adaptation are three characteristics typically associated with ANNs. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based reconfigurable computing architectures are well suited to implement ANNs as one can exploit concurrency and rapidly reconfigure to adapt the weights and topologies of an ANN. ANNs are suitable for and widely used in various real-life applications. A large portion of these applications are realized as embedded computer systems. With continuous advancements in VLSI technology FPGAs have become more powerful and power efficient, enabling the FPGA implementation of ANNs in embedded systems. This paper proposes an FPGA ANN framework which facilitates implementation in embedded systems. A case study of an ANN implementation in an embedded fall detection system is presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed framework.
