Analysis Of Hardware Accelerated Deep Learning And The Effects Of Degradation On Performance, Samuel C. Leach May 2021

Analysis Of Hardware Accelerated Deep Learning And The Effects Of Degradation On Performance, Samuel C. Leach

Masters Theses

As convolutional neural networks become more prevalent in research and real world applications, the need for them to be faster and more robust will be a constant battle. This thesis investigates the effect of degradation being introduced to an image prior to object recognition with a convolutional neural network. As well as experimenting with methods to reduce the degradation and improve performance. Gaussian smoothing and additive Gaussian noise are both analyzed degradation models within this thesis and are reduced with Gaussian and Butterworth masks using unsharp masking and smoothing, respectively. The results show that each degradation is disruptive to the …
